Description of key information
Ames assay:
The test chemical did not induce reversion of mutation when applied to Salmonella typhim urium strains TA1535, TA100, TA1538, and TA98 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

3. RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES (if applicable): Test concentrations were based on the leve
l of toxicity in a pre-experiment with all Salmonella and Escherichia strains. Toxicity was evaluated on
the basis of a reduction in the number of revertant colonies and/or a clearing of the bacterial backgr
ound lawn. Since, the test chemical was freely soluble and non toxic in the preliminary toxicity test, it
was tested up to the prescribed maximum concentration of 5000 μg/plate. Precipitation of the test che
mical was not observed. Slight toxicity was exclusively observed in experiment II at the maximum co
ncentration of 5000 μg/plate in TA1535 with S9 mix and TA98 without S9 mix.
Ames test:
- Mean number of revertant colonies per plate and standard deviation: No substantial and biological
relevant increase in revertant colonies of any of the five tester strains was observed in both expe
riments following treatment with the test chemical at any dose level neither in the absence nor in the
presence of metabolic activation. - Remarks on result:
- other: No mutagenic potential observed
- Conclusions:
- The test chemical did not induce reversion of mutation when applied to Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA100, TA1538, and TA98 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
- Executive summary:
Bacterial gene mutation test was performed to evaluate the mutagenic response for the test chemical. The test was performed using Salmonella typhimurium strainsTA1535, TA100, TA1538, and TA98 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. The test compound was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels of 100, 500 or 1000µg/plate. Concurrent positive control chemicals were also included in the study. The test chemical did not induce reversion of mutation when applied to Salmonella typhimurium strainsTA1535, TA100, TA1538, and TA98 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
In another study, The test chemical was investigated for the induction of gene mutations in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli (Ames test). The study was conducted according to OECD 471 Guidelines. Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA strains were used for the study.Liver S9 fraction from Syrian golden hamsters was used as exogenous metabolic activation system. The test chemical was freely soluble in deionized water. Test concentrations were based on the level of toxicity in a pre-experiment with all Salmonella and Escherichia strains. Toxicity was evaluated on the basis of a reduction in the number of revertant colonies and/or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn. Since, the test chemical was freely soluble and non toxic in the preliminary toxicity test, it was tested up to the prescribed maximum concentration of 5000 μg/plate. Precipitation of the test chemical was not observed. Biological relevant increase in revertant colonies of any of the five tester strains was considered as positive response. 3 replicates in 2 individual experiments both in the presence and absence of S9 mix were used. Pre-incubation method was used with 30 minutes preincubation and at least 48 h incubation time both without and with S9 mix in both experiments. Negative and positive controls were in accordance with the OECD guideline. Slight toxicity was exclusively observed in experiment II at the maximum concentration of 5000 μg/plate in TA1535 with S9 mix and TA98 without S9 mix.No substantial and biological relevant increase in revertant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA was observed in both experiments following treatment with the test chemical at any dose level neither in the absence nor in the presence of metabolic activation.Under the experimental conditions, the test chemical was not genotoxic to the bacteria both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system.
Based on the above studies it can be concluded that the test chemical is not genotoxic to the bacteria both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, the given test chemical does not exhibit gene mutation by Ames assay. Hence, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
