Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
5-Amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-pyrazol induced gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 (weakly positive) and TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system. It however did not induce gene mutation in the two strains in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system.
Executive summary:

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of 5-Amino-3-methyl-1-phenyl-pyrazol. The study was performed as per the standard plate protocol using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. The test chemical was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels of 0, 100, 500, 2500 or 5000 µg/plate. Concurrent solvent and positive controls chemicals were also included in the study. 2- aminoanthracene was used as the positive control chemical. 5-Amino-3-methyl-l-phenyl-pyrazol induced gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 (weakly positive) and TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system. It however did not induce gene mutation in the two strains in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system.
