SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): histidiine or tryptophan deficient medium - Evaluation criteria:
- Acceptance Criteria:
The reverse mutation assay may be considered valid if the following criteria are met:
All bacterial strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their respective strain checks according to Ames et al., (1975), Maron and Ames (1983) and Mortelmans and Zeiger (2000).
All tester strain cultures should exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls. .
All tester strain cultures should be in the range of 0.9 to 9 x 10^9 bacteria per mL.
Diagnostic mutagens (positive control chemicals) must be included to demonstrate both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagen exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix. All of the positive control chemicals used in the study should induce marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation.
There should be a minimum of four non-toxic test item dose levels. There should be no evidence of excessive contamination.
Evaluation criteria:
There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study.
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).
A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met. - Statistics:

Any other information on results incl. tables
Prior to use, the master strains were checked for characteristics, viability and spontaneous reversion rate (all were found to be satisfactory).
The amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9 -mix used in both experiments was shown to be sterile. The test item formulation was also shown to be sterile.
Results for the negative controls (spontaneous mutation rates) were considered to be acceptable (see tables below). These data are for concurrent untreated control plates performed on the same day as the Mutation Test.
The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000µg/plate. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation, in the first mutation test (plate incorporation method) and consequently the same maximum dose level was used in the second mutation test. Similarly, there was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation, in the second mutation test (pre-incubation method). No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix.
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment1(plate incorporation method). Similarly, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 2 (pre-incubation method).
All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies thus confirming the activity of the S9 -mix and the sensitivity of the bacterial strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- TM13-043 was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
- Executive summary:
Introduction
The test method was designed to be compatible with the guidlines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF, the OECD Guidlines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 "Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test", Method B13/14 of Commission Regulation (EC) number 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and the USA, EPA OCSPP harmonized guideline - Bacterial Reverse mutation test.
Methods
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TAlOO and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test item using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at up to eight dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors).The dose range for Experiment1was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000µg/plate. The experiment was repeated on a seperate day (pre-incubation method) using fresh cultures of the bacterial strain and of the test item formulations. The dose range was amended following the results of Experiment 1 and was 50 to 5000µg/plate.
Results
The vehicle (sterile distilled water) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activiation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9 -mix were validated.
The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000µg/plate. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation, in the first mutation test (plate incorporation method) and consequently the same maximum dose level was used in the second mutation test. Similarly, there was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level,
either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation, in the second mutation test (pre-incubation method). No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9 -mix.
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 1 (plate incorporation method). Similarly, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 2 (pre-incubation method).
Conclusion
TM13-043 was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test
