Details on test system and experimental conditions:

The test was conducted with triplicate replications. Positive and negative controls were tested concurrently.
Positive controls (without metabolic activation): Daunorubicin-HCl at 5 and 10 ug/0.1 ml phosphate buffer for TA98. 4-Nitroquinoline-n-oxide at 0.125 and 0.25 ug/0.1 ml phosphate buffer for TA100. n-Methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine at 3 and 5 ug/0.1 ml phosphate buffer for TA1535. 9(5)aminoacridine hydrochloride monohydrate at 50 and 100 ug/0.1 ml DMSO for TA1537.
Positive control (with metabolic activation): Cyclophosphamide at 250 ug/0.1 ml phosphate buffer for TA1535.
Negative (vehicle) control (with and without activation): Acetone
The plates were incubated at 37 +/- 1.5 deg. C in the absence of light for 48 hours.

Evaluation criteria:

The test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic if the colony count in relation to the negative control was not doubled in any 
concentration.

Statistics:

The colonies were counted and the arithmetic mean was calculated.

Additional information on results:

The test substance precipitated in the soft agar at 1215 ug/0.1 ml. Solvent and positive controls produced the expected mutant colony counts. Under the experimental conditions, a mixture of 70% dioctyltin bis(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) and 30% mono-octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) displayed no mutagenic activity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the experimental conditions, a mixture of 70% dioctyltin bis(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) and 30% mono-octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) displayed no mutagenic activity.

Executive summary:

An Ames test was carried out with a mixture of 70% dioctyltin bis(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) and 30% mono-octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate). The relatively old test was considered less reliable, because the test was not conducted using an E. coli strain and no positive controls for strains TA98, TA100, and TA1537 were included in the test with metabolic activation. No mutagenic activity was observed.
