aMean and standard deviation. bin assays without metabofic activation, the positive controls were sodium azide for TA1535 and TA100, 1.0 µg/plate, 9-aminoacridine for TA1537, 50.0 µg/plate; 2-nitrofluorene for TA1538, 1.0 or 5.0 µg/plate, and for TA98, 2.0 or 5.0 µg/plate. In those assays in which the lower dose of 2-nitrofluorene was used, the positive control value is followed by a superscript indicating the dose level used (either1or2). In assays with rat-liver S9, the positive control for all strains was 2-aminoanthracene, 2.5 µg/plate except for those positive control values, followed by a numerical superscript. This number is the dose used as a positive control. In assays with hamster-fiver S9, the positive control for all strains was 2-aminoanthracene, 1.0 µg/plate, except for those positive controls followed by the superscript "c". In these cases 2.5µg/plate was used. 1 Dose level was 1.0 µg/plate. 2 Dose level was 2.0 µg/plate. 5 Dose level was 5.0 µg/plate. c Dose level was 2.5 µg/plate. d Only 2 plates

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test chemical was negative in the Salmonella mutagenicity assays conducted.
- Executive summary:
Mutagenicity testing was performed by the standard plate-incorporation assay for the test chemical on Salmonella typhimurium by using TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100 strains. These strains were kindly supplied by Dr. Bruce Ames, University of California at Berkeley. Strain checks were performed immediately after receipt of the cultures and on a routine basis thereafter. The test chemical was tested without metabolic activation and with S9 mix from Aroclor 1254-induced male Fischer 344 rats and Syrian golden hamsters. The S9 mix was prepared according to the procedure described by Ames et al. (1975) and contained 0.1 ml S9 per ml of S9 mix; an aliquot of 0.5 ml of S9 mix was added per plate. The test chemical was either dissolved in water, DMSO or acetone and tested at concentrations of 33.0µg/plate, 100.0µg/plate, 333.0µg/plate, 1000.0µg/plate, 3333.0µg/plate in triplicates. The range of concentrations for testing was based on preliminary toxicity tests in which the viability of the bacterial cells on complete medium was measured at concentrations up to 10 mg/plate or to the limit of solubility. When solubility and toxicity were not limiting factors, the maximum concentration tested was 10 mg/plate.In tests without metabolic activation the positive controls were sodium azide for strains TA1535 and TA100 (1.0 µg/plate), 9-aminoacridine for TA1537 (50.0 µg/plate), and 2-nitrofluorene for TA1538 and TA98 (1.0, 2.0 or 5.0 µg/plate). The positive control for all strains with metabolic activation was 2-aminoanthracene (2.5µg/plate for TA1535 and TA1537, 1.0µg/plate for TA1538 and TA98, and 5.0 µg/plate for TA100). A response was considered positive if there was a dose-related increase in the number of revertants above spontaneous solvent controls, with a 2-fold increase for strains TA1535, TA1538, TA98 and TA100, and a 3-fold increase for TA1537. The test chemical was negative in the Salmonella mutagenicity assays conducted.
