Evaluation criteria:
Evaluation Criteria for Ames AssayMost data sets are evaluated using the following criteria:1. Strains TA-1535, TA-1537, and TA-1538If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive dose response over three concentrations with the lowest increase equal to twice the solvent control value is considered to be mutagenic. 2. Strains TA-98, TA-100, and D4If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive dose response over three concentrations with the highest increase equal to twice the solvent control value for TA-100 and two to three times the solvent control value for strains TA-98 and D4 is considered to be mutagenic. For these strains, the dose response increase should start at approximately the solvent control value.3. PatternBecause TA-1535 and TA-100 were both derived from the same parental strain (G-46) and because TA-1538 and TA-98 were both derived from the same parental strain (D3052), there is a built-in redundancy in the microbial assay. In general the two strains of a set respond to the same mutagen and such a pattern is sought. It is also anticipated that if a given strain, e.g. TA-1537, responds to amutagen in nonactivation tests it will generally do so in activation tests. (The converse of this relationship is not expected.) While similar response patterns are not required for all mutagens, they can be used to enhance the reliability of an evaluation decision.4. ReproducibilityIf a chemical produces a response in a single test that cannot be reproduced in one or more additional runs, the initial positive test data loses significance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):negative with metabolic activationnegative without metabolic activationChlorendic anhydride did not demonstrate mutagenic activity under the conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

The test substance was examined for mutagenic activity in a series of in vitro microbial assays emplyoying salmonella and saccharomyces indicator organisms. The compound was tested directly and i nthe presence of liver microsomal enzyme preparation from Aroclor-induced rats. The following results were obtained:

Toxicity test results

The compound was tested over a series of concentrations such that there was either a quantitative or qualitative evidence of some chmically-induced physiological effects at the high dose level. The low dose in all cases was below a concentration that demonstrated any toxic effect. The dose range employed for the evaluation of this compound was from 0.1 ug to 500ug per plate.

Nonactivation test results

The results of the tests conducted on the compound in the absence of a metabolic system were all negative

Activation test results

The results of the tests conducted on the compound in the presence of the rat liver activation system were all negative

Conclusions

The test compound, chlorendic anhydride, did not demonstrate mutagenic activity in any of the assays conducted in this evaluation.
