Details on test system and experimental conditions:
ACTIVATION: Cofactors were added to the S9 mix to reach the following concentrations: 8 mM MgCl2, 33 mM KCl, 5 mM Glucose-6-phosphate, 4 mM NADP in 100 mM potassium-phosphate-buffer pH 7.4. The concentration of S9 in the mix was 5%, and 0.5 ml of S9 mix were added to test substance, overlay agar and bacterial suspension giving a final concentration of approximately 1% S9 in the plates.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: Vigel-Bonner agar medium, plate incorporation

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): no data

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): agar medium

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate plates, experiment repeated

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in number of revertants; condition of background lawn.
Evaluation criteria:
If the number of colonies apparent in presence of test article is greater than or equal to twice the number of colonies apparent in the negative control group, the result is considered to be positive.
Statistics:
Relevant statistics (st.dev, mean) were calculated

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
N,N’,N’’-Tricyclohexyl-1-methylsilanetriamine has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria, in a study which was conducted according to the OECD TG 471 (1989), compliant with GLP. No evidence of a test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without metabolic activation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 3538 in the initial or the repeat experiments using the plate incorporation method up to limit concentrations. Appropriate positive and solvent (acetone) and controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
