Description of key information
In a Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay according to OECD guideline 471, the test item did not induce gene mutations by frameshift or base-pair substitution in the genome of the tester strains used with and without metabolic activation. Therefore, the test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.

- NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:

METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density (overnight culture): 2.25 x 10^9 CFU/mL (E.coli); approx. 1.15 x 10^9 CFU/mL (S.typhimurium)
- The experiment I (initial mutation test) of the main study the plate incorporation method was used. In the experiment II (confirmatory mutation test) the pre-incubation method was applied and the concentrations examined were the same as investigated in the experiment I.
- Number of cells seeded and method to enumerate numbers of viable and mutants cells: 10^9cells/mL; the viable cell number of the cultures was determined by plating experiments and manual counting.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
The cytotoxicity was indicated by decreased revertant colony counts (revertants below the historical control data ranges and/or corresponding vehicle control data ranges) and/or affected background lawn development (slightly reduced background lawn).
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
Mean revertant numbers
CONDITIONS FOR THE VALIDITY OF THE TEST
The tests (initial and confirmatory mutation experiments) are considered to be valid if:
- All of the Salmonella tester strains demonstrate the presence of the deep rough mutation (rfa) and the deletion in the uvrB gene.
- The Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 tester strains demonstrate the presence of the pKM101 plasmid R-factor.
- The Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA culture demonstrates the deletion in the uvrA gene.
- The bacterial cultures demonstrate the characteristic mean number of spontaneous revertants in the vehicle controls.
- The tester strain culture titer is in the 10^9 cells/mL order.
- The batch of S9 used in this study shows the appropriate biological activity.
- The reference mutagens show the expected increase (at least a 3.0-fold increase) in induced revertant colonies over the mean value of the respective vehicle control.
- There are at least five analysable concentrations (at each tester strain) (a minimum of three non-toxic dose levels is required to evaluate assay data).
A dose level is considered toxic if
- the reduced revertant colony numbers are observed as compared to the mean vehicle control value and the reduction shows a dose-dependent relationship, and / or
- the reduced revertant colony numbers are below the vehicle historical control data range and / or
- pinpoint colonies appear and / or
- reduced background lawn development occurs. - Evaluation criteria:
- The colony numbers on the untreated, vehicle and positive controls and the test item treated plates were determined (counted manually, evaluated by unaided eye), the mean values, standard deviations and the mutation rates were calculated.
Mutation Rate = (Mean number of revertants at the test item (or control*) treatments)/(Mean number of revertants of vehicle control)
* : untreated, vehicle or positive control
A test item is considered mutagenic if:
- a dose-related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or;
- a reproducible biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.
An increase is considered biologically relevant if:
- in strain Salmonella typhimurium TA100 the number of reversions is at least twice as high as the reversion rate of the vehicle control
- in strain Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1535, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA the number of reversions is at least three times higher than the reversion rate of the vehicle control.
According to the guidelines, the biological relevance of the results was the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results was not regarded as necessary.
Criteria for a Negative Response:
A test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay if it produces neither a dose-related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups, with or without metabolic activation. - Statistics:

- Conclusions:

Therefore, the test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
Five bacterial strains were used to investigate the mutagenic potential of the test item in two independent experiments, in a plate incorporation test (experiment I, initial mutation test) and in a preincubation test (experiment II, confirmatory mutation test). Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation (±S9). The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate. In the performed experiments positive and negative (vehicle) controls were run concurrently. In the performed experiments all of the validity criteria, regarding the investigated strains, negative (vehicle) and positive controls, S9 activity and number of investigated analysable concentration levels were fulfilled. No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers were observed in any of the five test strains following treatment with the test item at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 Mix) in the performed experiments. Sporadic increases in revertant colony numbers compared to the vehicle control values were observed in both independently performed main experiments; however, there was no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations beyond the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance in the performed experiments.In the initial mutation test inhibitory effect of the test item (decreased number of revertant colony numbers and/or affected background lawn development) was not observed in any case. However, in the confirmatory mutation test (pre-incubation test) clear inhibitory effect of the test item on bacterial growth was observed in the all Salmonella typhimurium strains, at 5000 µg/plate, in the absence and presence of exogenous metabolic activation (±S9). The cytotoxicity was indicated by decreased revertant colony counts (revertants below the historical control data ranges and/or corresponding vehicle control data ranges) and/or affected background lawn development (slightly reduced background lawn). No precipitation of the test item was observed on the plates in the examined bacterial strains at any examined concentration level (±S9) throughout the study.
The reported data of this mutagenicity assay shows, that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by frameshift or base-pair substitution in the genome of the tester strains used. Therefore, the test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
