Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Species / strain / cell type:
other: S. typhimurium SD100
Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
The SD100 strain was isolated from the strain TA100. (obtained from National Institute of Hygienic Sci­ ences, Tokyo, Japan). SD100 requires a small amount of streptomycin for its growth, and its mutation allows growth in the absence of streptomycin.

Additional information on results:
CHOICE OF TESTER STRAINS:
Since the test substance has histidine in its structure, bacteria requiring histidine for the detection of mutagenicity were not applicable. Therefore, the mutagenic acitivity of the test substance was examined in a streptomycin dependent strain SD100, an 8-azaguanine sensitive strain and a WP2 uvrA strain requiring tryptophan.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: No toxic effects of the test substance were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the conducted test, the substance was not mutagenic in any of the three strains (SD100, TM 677 and WP2 uvrA) tested with and without metabolic activation up to 5000 µg/mL.
Executive summary:

A bacterial gene mutation assay with the read across substance catena-(S)­ [µ-[Nα-(3 Aminopropionyl)histidinato(2-)-N1,N2,0:Nτ]- zinc] (CAS 107667 -60 -7)) was performed. Since the test substance has histidine in its structure, bacteria requiring histidine for the detection of mutagenicity were not applicable. In this study, the mutagenic activity of the test substance was examined in a streptomycin dependent S. typhimurium strain SD100, an 8-azaguanine sensitive S. typhimurium strain and the E. coli WP2uvrA strain requiring tryptophan. In this study the RA substance (CAS 107667 -60 -7) was not mutagenic in any of the three strains
