DURATION
- Preincubation period: 1 hour at 37 degC
- Exposure duration: 3 days
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 per exposure, 5 with solvent control.
ACTIVATION: S9 mix included 10% Arocolor-induced rat liver S9, and glucose-6-phosphate, NADP, MgCl2, KCl. 0.5 ml was added with 0.1 ml bacterial suspension and 0.1 ml test or control substance to 2.5 ml of agar to give a final concentration of approximately 1.5% S9.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: toxicity to background lawn. - Evaluation criteria:
- The test article was considered to be mutagenic if a dose related and reproducible increase in the number of revertants was induced at one or more test concentration. An increase in revertant colonies was at least two times the mean negative control counts in strains TA98, TA100 and TA102, or three times in strains TA1535 and TA1537.
- Statistics:
- Colonies were counted electronically using a Seescan Colony Counter (Seescan plc) and the background lawn inspected for signs of toxicity.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: 8, 40, 200, 1000 and 5000 μg/plate with TA100 without S9 resulted in no evidence of toxicity (results with S9 were not scorable due to contamination). The results were used in the mutagenic assessment and are presented in Table 2.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: Following Experiment 1 treatments of strains TA98 and TA102 in the absence and presence of S-9, Experiment 2 treatments of strain TA98 in the absence and presence of S9 and strain TA100 in the absence of S9, mean revertant colony plate counts for the solvent control treatments were just outside the historical range of this laboratory. The mean solvent control plate counts were however well within other published ranges, and so these strains were considered to have been behaving characteristically, and these data were considered valid.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: In Experiment 1 a slight thinning of the background lawn was observed at the highest concentrations with strain TA1537 with S9. In Experiment 2 cytotoxicity was observed in the form of complete mortality of the bacteria at the maximum concentration of 2500 μg/plate with strain TA102 with S9. - Remarks on result:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexamethyldisilazane (CAS 999-97-3, EC 213-668-5) has been tested according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP. No test substance induced increase in the number of revertants in S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 102 was observed. The results obtained with and without metabolic activation in the initial plate incorporation test and in the repeat pre-incubation assay were in agreement. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. The test material was therefore considered to be negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of this test.
