Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

It is concluded that, when tested at dose levels up to 5000 ul/plate in water, N-isopropylacrylamide was not mutagenic in this bacterial test system.

No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the tester strains were observed following treatment with N-isopropylacrylamide at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of S-9 mix.

- Expiration date of the lot/batch: April 1990
- Purity: 99%

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: 4 °C in the dark
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: not determined in this study
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
his G46 rfa uvrB, his C3076 rfa uvrB, his D3052 rfa uvrB pKM 101, his G46 rfa uvrB pKM 101, respectively

The current positive control compounds demonstrated the sensitivity of the assay and the metabolising activity of the liver preparations.

Conclusions:
It is concluded that, when tested at dose levels up to 5000 ul/plate in water, N-isopropylacrylamide was not mutagenic in this bacterial test system.
No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the tester strainswere observed following treatment with N-isopropylacrylamide at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of S-9 mix.
Executive summary:

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is not classified for Genetic toxicity as the Ames study on the test substance NIPAM was negative.
