Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

negative.

Under these experimental conditions, DMEA is not mutagenic
in S.typhimurium in Ames test.
Executive summary:

The genotoxic activity of Dimethylethylamine DMEA is evaluated in the Ames test on Salmonella typhimurium according to the OECD 471 guideline. Doses of 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 ug/plate are tested on five strains (TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 1538) according to the preincubation method (20 min at 37°C). The number of revertants colonies is evaluated 48 to 72 hours later.

Cytotoxicity was observed for the highest dose (5000µg/plate) with and without metabolic activation in all strain. No genotoxic activity was observed for all doses with and without metabolic activation on the 5 tested strains.

In conclusion, Dimethylethylamine did not induce genotoxicity in the Ames test on Salmonella typhimurium in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
