- Version / remarks:
- 1997
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EU Method B.13/14 (Mutagenicity - Reverse Mutation Test Using Bacteria)

- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- EPA OPPTS 870.5100 - Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test (August 1998)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Type of assay:
- bacterial reverse mutation assay
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Batch no. : BXR34BR

- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- S9-mix
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Oxaphthalimid: 50-5000 µg/plate
Sodium-azide: 10 µg/plate (TA 1535)
Nitrofurantoin: 0.2 µg/plate (TA 100)
4-Nitro-1,2-phenylene diamine: 10 µg/plate (TA 1537), 0.5 µg/plate (TA 98)
Mitomycin C: 0.2 µg/plate (TA 102 in plate incorporation trials)

2-Aminoanthracene: 3 µg/plate - Untreated negative controls:
- yes
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- no
- Remarks:
- No solvent control was used since sufficient evidence was available in the literature and from testing laboratory experience, indicating that the solvents used had no influence on the spontaneous mutant counts of the used strains.

- Number of cultures per concentration: triplicate
- Number of independent experiments: 2
METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): E+06 dilution
- Test substance added in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 48 h
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, e.g.: background growth inhibition - Evaluation criteria:
- A reproducible and dose-related increase in mutant counts of at least one strain is considered to be a positive result. For TA 1535, TA 100 and TA 98 this increase should be about twice that of negative controls, whereas for TA 1537, at least a threefold increase should be reached. For TA 102 an increase of about 100 mutants should be reached. Otherwise, the result is evaluated as negative. However, these guidelines may be overruled by good scientific judgment.
In case of questionable results, investigations should continue, possibly with modifications, until a final evaluation is possible. - Key result

- Executive summary:
Oxaphthalimid was initially investigated using the Salmonella/microsome plate incorporation test for point-mutagenic effects in doses up to and including 5000 µg/plate on the five histidine-auxotrophic Salmonella typhimurium LT2 strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 102. The independent repeat was performed as preincubation for 20 minutes at 37°C.
Doses up to and including 5000 µg/plate did not cause any bacteriotoxic effects. No inhibition of growth was noted as well. Substance precipitation occurred at the dose of 1581 µg/plate and above.
No evidence of mutagenic activity of Oxaphthalimid was found without and with S9 mix.
Reference
There was no indication of a bacteriotoxic effect of Oxaphthalimid up to and including 5000 µg/plate. No inhibition of growth was noted as well. At 1581 µg/plate, the substance started to precipitate.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (negative)
Genetic toxicity in vivo
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Additional information
Oxaphthalimid was shown to be not mutagenic with and without metabolic activation in a bacterial reverse mutation assay with the S. typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 102. The study was conducted using the plate incorporation and preincubation method with substance concentrations from 50 to 5000 µg per plate.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is not required.
