- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) for the toxicity screen and the final mutation test.
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 hours
- Incubation: 37 ± 2°C
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates/dose/strain. Positive and vehicle controls were run concurrently for all five strains, on six plates per strain.
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: all revertants per plates are counted using an Alphalmager 2200 fluorescence imager.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Other: Routine examination (under a light microscope) of the bacterial background lawn was used to determine cytoxicity of the test article. The plates were also examined visually for test article precipitation. - Evaluation criteria:
- A 2-fold increase of the mean number of revertant colonies with or without metabolic activation is considered a positive response. Dose-related increases approaching a 2-fold increase are deemed equivocal.
A negative result is determined by the absence of a dose-related increase in all five tester strains, taking into account cytoxicity of the test article as well as the quality checks of the assay. - Statistics:
- Statistical methods were not used in the determination of test results.

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: No precipitate was observed on the plates in the cytotoxicity screen or the main assay.
RANGE-FINDING: yes
There was no diminuation and clearing of the background lawn observed at any dosage, indicating that the test article was not cytotoxic to baceterial strain TA-100 at 0.001 to 5 µl/plate.
QUALITY CHECKS:
- Sterility Test: Solutions and reagents used in the assay were tested for sterility in the main assay. Samples were added to minimal glucose agar plates and incubated at 37 ± 2°C for 48-72 hours. No contaminating organisms were detected in any of the reagents used in the assay.
- Vehicle controls: The spontaneous reversion rate, as presented by the mean colony forming units (CFU), for each strain of baceteria was measured and compared to in-house historical ranges. All vehicle controls passed the quality checks.
- Positive controls: The increase in revertants due to positive control treatment for each tester strain of bacteria was calculated (see Table 1 below). All positive controls passed the quality check.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions of this study, Tributyl(ethyl) phosphonium diethylphosphate is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
Tributyl(ethyl) phosphonium diethylphosphate was tested for potential mutagenic activity using the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay according to the OECD 471 Guideline and under GLP. The experiments
were carried out using four histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 97, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1535) and a tryptophan-requiring strain of Escherichia coli WP2uvrA in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9-mix), using the plate incorporation method.
Based on the results of a solubility test, the test item was formulated in Tissue culture water. ln a cytotoxicity screen, the test item was tested at 0.001 to 5 µl/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix in the strain TA100. The main assay was run in all five strains on triplicate plates at concentrations of 5, 1.0, 0.5, 0.1 and 0.05 μl/plate in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9). No reduced or clearing bacterial background lawn was observed, indicating no or minimal cytotoxicity of the test article under the test conditions. There was no significant increase or dose-dependent increase of the number of revertants in any bacterial strain treated with the test article in the presence or absence of S9. All positive and negative controls values were within acceptable ranges, and all criteria for a valid study were met.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Tributyl(ethyl) phosphonium diethylphosphate does not have mutagenicity potential in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay.
