METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method.: Microcology lawn health
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: A minimum of three non-toxic dose levels is required to evaluate assay data. A dose level is considered toxic if one or both of the following criteria are met: (1) A >50 % reduction in the mean number of revertants per plate as compared to the mean vehicle control value. This reduction must be accompanied by an abrupt dose-dependent drop in the revertant count. (2) At least a moderate reduction in the background lawn.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
For the test article to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article as specified below:
Strains TA1535 and TA1537
Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 3.0-times the mean vehicle control value and above the corresponding acceptable vehicle control range.
Strains TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA
Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 2.0-times the mean vehicle control value and above the corresponding acceptable vehicle control range.
An equivocal response is a biologically relevant increase in a revertant count that partially meets the criteria for evaluation as positive. This could be a dose-responsive increase that does not achieve the respective threshold cited above or a non-dose responsive increase that is equal to or greater than the respective threshold cited. A response was evaluated as negative if it was neither positive nor equivocal. - Rationale for test conditions:
- Per OECD 471
- Evaluation criteria:
- See 'Methods for Measurements of Genotoxicity' field.
- Statistics:
- None, calculations were made to determine if 2-3 fold increases in revertants were observed compared to controls.

Precipitate was observed beginning at 3333 µg per plate with all conditions. Toxicity was observed beginning at 3333 or at 5000 µg per plate with tester strains TA1537 and WP2 uvrA in the presence of S9 activation. Based upon these results, the maximum dose tested in the mutagenicity assay was 5000 µg per plate. In the mutagenicity assay, the dose levels tested were 33.3, 100, 333, 1000, 3333 and 5000 µg per plate. Precipitate was observed at 5000 µg per plate with all conditions. Toxicity was observed beginning at 3333 or at 5000 µg per plate with tester strains TA100, TA1535 and WP2 uvrA in the absence of S9 activation. All validation criteria was met for the study and vehicle and positive controls performed as expected. In the plates treated with MDP, there were no increases in revertant colonies in any tester strains, at any concentration with or without metabolic activation. Based on the results of the study, MDP was negative in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames assay) when tested in S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli strain WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9).
