METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
- OTHER: No data - Rationale for test conditions:
- No data available.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test item was considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding vehicle/solvent control was observed.
A dose-dependent increase was considered biologically relevant if the threshold exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase exceeding the threshold of biological significance at only one concentration was judged as biologically relevant if it was reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose-dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold was regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative control such an increase was not considered biologically relevant. - Statistics:
- Microsoft Office Excel based calculations were used for descriptive statistical analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test chemical did not induce gene mutations either by base pair changes or frameshift in the genome of the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100, TA 102 both in presence or in absence of metabolic activation system. Hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to investigate the potential of the test chemical to induce gene mutations in comparison to negative control according to plate incorporation test (Trial I) and the pre-incubation test (Trial II) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100, TA102. The study was conducted as per OECD 471, Adopted July 21, 1997. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation, each concentration, including the negative and positive controls was tested in triplicates. Based on the solubility and precipitation test result eight different concentrations 0.0 (NC), 0.002, 0.005, 0.016, 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate were selected for pre-experiment. The pre-experiment was performed with TA100 and TA98 strain of salmonella typhimurium. In TA98 and TA100 there was no reduction in colony count but reduction in background lawn was observed in treated concentrations 5 (T8) and 1.582 (T7) mg/plate and no reduction in colony count as well as in background lawn in treated concentration 0.501 (T6) mg/plate – 0.002 (T1) mg/plate both in absence and in presence of metabolic activation. Based on the results, 0.501 mg/plate was selected as the highest dose for the main study trials both in the absence as well as in the presence of metabolic activation. Trial-I was performed with five concentration of test item along with the negative and concurrent positive control with the remaining three strains i.e. TA 1537, TA1535, TA 102 by plate incorporation method. For TA 98 and TA 100 revertant colony count were directly incorporated in the Trial-I from the pre-experiment up to the five concentrations [T2 (0.005 mg/plate) to T6 (0.501 mg/plate)]. Test item concentration 0.0 (NC), 0.005, 0.016, 0.050, 0.158 and 0.501mg/plate, were prepared with half log interval both in presence and in absence of metabolic activation. The plates were treated and incubated at 37±20C for 48 hours. No increase in the revertant count in any of the five strains was reported at any of the test concentrations. Positive controls resulted in an unequivocal response in all the five tester strains compared to respective control used. Trial II was performed independently with all the five tester strains along with the negative and positive controls by pre-incubation method for the confirmation of the Trial-I results. The concentration 0.0 (NC), 0.005, 0.016, 0.050, 0.158 and 0.501 mg/plate were used both in the absence (-S9) as well as in the presence of metabolic activation (+S9). The concentration of positive controls used was same as used in the plate incorporation assay. In Trial II, the test item, negative and positive controls were pre-incubated along with 500µl of metabolic activation mix (+S9)/Buffer (-S9) and 100µl of bacterial culture for 60 minutes at 37±2oC in an incubator. After pre-incubation, 2 mL of top agar was mixed with the pre-incubation mixture and poured on minimal glucose agar plates. The treaed plates were incubated for 48 hours in an incubator. No substantial increase in the revertant count was observed in any of the five tester strains pre-incubated with the test item. The positive controls showed an unequivocal increase in revertant counts with all the five tester strains and the respective controls used, hence confirming the non-mutagenic activity of the test item. Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that the test chemical was found to be non-mutagenic as it did not induce (point) gene mutations in the histidine operon by base-pair changes or frameshifts, in the presence or the absence of metabolic activation system, in any of the five tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 and TA102). Hence, the test chemical is not likely to be classified as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in the CLP regulation.
