- Additional information on results:
- Results show the absence of any bacterial growth in the presence of the various concentrations of the test item.
Results show the absence of any bacterial growth in the presence of "S9-mix".
Results show that in presence of the highest dose tested 5000 µg/plate a high level of toxicity is measured (compatible with the maximum tolerated). For the first assay, a supplementary dose is studied 2500 µg/plate.
The test item is tested at these doses (5 000, 2 500, 1 500, 500, 150 and 50 µg/plate) for the first assay and (5 000, 1 500, 500, 150 and 50 µg/plate) for the second assay.
One can observe for the highest doses tested (1 500 to 5 000µg/plate) the presence of whitish precipitates not hindering the scoring.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the test item is not considered as mutagenic in S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2 (uvrA-) (pKM 101) strains without, or with metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, performed according to the OECD Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP, strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and E.coli WP2) were exposed to test item, 4,4'-méthylène bis (2,6-diméthylaniline) at the following concentrations:
- TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and E.coli WP2: 50, 150, 500, 1500, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate, with and without S9-mix
Metabolic activation system used in this test 10 % S9 mix; S9 fraction prepared from liver homogenates of male Sprague Dawley rats . Vehicle, negative and positive control groups were also included in mutagenicity tests.
For assay n° 1, various concentrations of GNJ070817-S1 were put in contact with the strains in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (S9-mix 10% (v/v)).
For assay n° 2, various concentrations of GNJ210817-S1 were put in contact with the strains in the absence of metabolic activation and with pre-incubation in the presence of metabolic activation system (S9-mix 10% (v/v)).
For the two assays, negative and positive controls were carried out in parallel. Positive controls induced a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to negative controls. There is no significant difference between the number of spontaneous reversions, the number of reversions obtained in the positive controls (without and with metabolic activation), and the mean of corresponding experimental “historical” values obtained in the laboratory
No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, at any dose level either with or without metabolic activation.
Under the test conditions, test item is not considered as mutagenic in this bacterial system.
