Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix (Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver)
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Plate incorporation test / Preincubation test: 0, 0.1, 0.316, 1, 3.16 and 10 ug/plate (concentrations are referred to the active ingredient).
The top concentration was chosen based on a preliminary test in TA 100 with 10 concentrations ranging from 0.316 - 5000 ug/plate, where pronounced to complete cytotoxicity was observed at >= 10 µg/plate.
Vehicle / solvent:
The test substance was dissolved in water and added to the incubation assay.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: without metabolic activation: sodium azide (TA 1535, TA 100); 2-nitrofluorene (TA 98); 9-aminoacridine (TA 1537); methylmethanesulfonate (TA 102); with metabolic activation: cyclophosphamide (TA 100, TA 1535); 2-anthraceneamide (TA 98, TA 102, TA 1537)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation and preincubation
Preincubation period: Plate incorporation test: none; Preincubation test: 60 min at 37 °C
Plates: 3 per concentration; 2 independent experiments
Evaluation criteria:
Number of revertants is significantly increased compared to solvent controls to at least 2-fold (TA 98, TA 100, TA 102) and 3-fold (TA 1535, TA 1537) in both independent experiments

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative

No evidence for mutagenic activity in the Salmonella typhimurium assay.
Executive summary:

Mutagenicity study (reverse mutation assay) in Salmonella typhimurium according to OECD guideline 471 with plate incorporation test and preincubation test each with and without metabolic activation by S9 mix from Arochlor 1254-induced rat liver. The concentration of the test substance was based on the observations of a preliminary test with strain TA 100 in which pronounced to complete cytotoxicity was observed at >= 10 µg/plate. Under the conditions of the assay where positive controls exerted the expected mutagenic effects, chlorhexidine digluconate caused no mutagenic effect in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537 neither in the plate incorporation nor in the preincubation test each carried out with and without metabolic activation.
