Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: In agar (plate incorporation)
For tests with metabolic activation: Tubes containing 2 mL molten agar supplemented with biotin and trace of histidine were mixed with the test concentrations and 0.5 mL of S9 mix. This mixture was then poured over agar plates and allowed to solidify.

For tests without metabolic activation: Tubes containing 2 mL molten agar supplemented with biotin and trace of histidine were mixed with the test concentrations. This mixture was then poured over agar plates and allowed to solidify.

The plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37°C and then evaluated for mutagenicity.

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 hours


NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: One


NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: Not reported


DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Not reported

Evaluation criteria:
Strains TA 1535, 1537 and 1538:
Provided 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 produce a positive mutagenic response.

Strains TA 98 and 100 and D4:
Provided the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive response over three concentrations with the highest increase equal to twice the solvent control value for TA 100 and 2-3 times the solvent control value for TA 98 and D4, is considered to produce a positive mutagenic response.

Reproducibility:
The results produced by the chemical in one test (replicate) should reproduce the results in other tests (replicates) as well.
Statistics:
Not reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Based on the results, the test material, CP 41820 BIO-77-212, was found to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the mutagenic potential of CP 41820 BIO-77-212 in a bacterial reverse mutation test in a procedure equivalent to OECD Guideline 471 and according to the method of Ames et al. (1975).

A total of five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 98, 100, 1535, 1537 and 1538) and the strain D4 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

were exposed to five different concentrations of the test material (0.1, 1.0, 10.0, 100.0 and 500.0 µg/plate) in a plate incorporation assay, with or without metabolic activation. The plates were then incubated for 48 hours at 37°C and were evaluated for mutagenicity.

None of the test plates with and without metabolic activation produced any positive response.

Based on the results, the test material, CP 41820 BIO-77-212, was found to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
