METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
2 mL molten top agar (0.6 % agar, 0.5 % NaCl with 5 mL of 1.0 mM histidine and 1.0mM biotin for Salmonella typhimurium or 1.0 mM tryptophan solution for E. coli), 0.1 mL of culture of the appropriate strain, 0.1 mL of the appropriate test material solution or the vehicle or positive control substance and 0.5 mL S9-mix (for the plates with metabolic activation) or 0.5 mL phosphate buffer (for the plates without metabolic activation) were thoroughly mixed and the mix was immediately poured onto the surface of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plates.
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours at 37 °C
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: The tests were performed in triplicate
- EXPERIMENT 2
METHOD OF APPLICATION: pre-incubation
0.1 mL of the appropriate bacterial culture was dispensed into a test tube followed by 0.5 mL of S9 mix or phosphate buffer and 0.05 mL of the vehicle or test material formulation and incubated for 20 minutes at 37 °C with shaking at approximately 130 rpm prior to the addition of 2 mL of molten, trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented top agar. The contents of the tube were then mixed and equally distributed on the surface of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plates.
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours at 37 °C
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: The tests were performed in triplicate
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Cytotoxicity was assessed as a reduction in the number of revertant colonies and/or a clearing of the background lawn of bacterial growth. - Evaluation criteria:
- The mutagenicity study was considered valid if the mean colony counts of the control plates were within acceptable ranges and if the results of the positive controls met the criteria for a positive response. Furthermore, all tester strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their respective strain checks. There should be a minimum of four non-toxic test material dose levels and no evidence of excessive contamination.
A test material was considered to be positive if the increase in the mean number of revertant colonies on the test plates was concentration-related or if a reproducible two-fold or more increase was observed compared to that of negative control plates.
A test material was considered to be negative in the bacterial gene mutation test if it produced neither a dose-related increase in the mean number of revertant colonies nor a reproducible positive response at any of the test points. - Key result

- PRE-STUDY CHECKS
The amino acid supplemented top agar and S9-mix used in both experiments was shown to be sterile. The culture density for each bacterial strain was also checked and considered acceptable.
PRELIMINARY TOXICITY TEST
The test material was non-toxic to the strains of bacteria used (TA 100 and WP2uvrA). The test material formulation and S9-mix used in the experiment were both shown to be sterile.
MUTATION TEST
The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level and was therefore tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. A precipitate (creamy and particulate in appearance) was noted at and above 1500 µg/plate, this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
No toxicologically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method. Small statistically significant increases in WP2uvrA revertant colony frequency were observed in the presence of S9-mix at 50 and 5000 µg/plate in Experiment 2. These increases were considered to be of no biological relevance because there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility. Furthermore, the individual revertant counts at 50 and 5000 µg/plate were within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for the tester strain and the fold increase was only 1.3 times the concurrent vehicle control.
Results for the negative controls were considered to be acceptable. Furthermore, all of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies thus confirming the activity of the S9-mix and the sensitivity of the bacterial strains. - Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material was not mutagenic to S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and in the E. coli strain WP2uvrA in both the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
The mutagenicity of the test material was assessed in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames Test) in accordance with standardised guidelines OECD guideline 471 and EU Method B.13/14. During the study, Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test material using both the plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without metabolic activation. The dose range for the study was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000 µg/plate. Under the conditions of the study, the vehicle control plates gave counts of revertant colonies generally within the normal range. All positive controls used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.

Additional information
Thompson 2012 (Read-Across Study performed on structurally similar substance DOT bis-(ethylmatelate) (CAS 68109-88-6)
The mutagenicity of the test material was assessed in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames Test) in accordance with standardised guidelines OECD guideline 471 and EU Method B.13/14. During the study, Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test material using both the plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without metabolic activation. The dose range for the study was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000 µg/plate. Under the conditions of the study, the vehicle control plates gave counts of revertant colonies generally within the normal range. All positive controls used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level and was, therefore, tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. A test material precipitate (creamy and particulate in appearance) was noted at and above 1500 µg/plate, though this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies. No toxicologically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method. Small, statistically significant increases in WP2uvrA revertant colony frequency were observed in the presence of S9-mix at 50 and 5000 µg/plate in Experiment 2. These increases were considered to be of no biological relevance because there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility. Furthermore, the individual revertant counts at 50 and 5000 µg/plate were within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for the tester strain and the fold increase was only 1.3 times the concurrent vehicle control.
Therefore, the test material was concluded to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of the test.
Reverse Mutation: Read-across data (mixture DOTE: MOTE. 70:30) (CAS No 15571-58-1 and CAS 27107-89-7)
Read-across from DOTE can be justified by structural analogy (Dioctyltin and two thiogylocolate ligands).
- Anonymous (1979): An Ames test was carried out with a mixture of 70% dioctyltin bis(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) and 30% mono-octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate). The relatively old test was considered less reliable, because the test was not conducted using an E. coli strain and no positive controls for strains TA98, TA100, and TA1537 were included in the test with metabolic activation. No mutagenic activity was observed.
-Anonymous (1978) Two studies:
The mutagenic potential of the test material was investigated in two bacterial reverse mutation assays.
Under the conditions of the first study, no mutagenic effects were seen for all strains tested in the presence of a metabolic activation system. The test material was found to be toxic to the strain TA1537 at 10 and 20 µL/plate and to the strains TA1538 and D4 at 10 µL/plate.
Under the conditions of the second study the test material was positive in strain TA100 without S9.
- Anonmymous (1983): An Ames test was caried out with the test material. The test was considered less reliable due to the fact that the test was not conducted using E. coli strain WP2 uvrA. Positive controls for the strains TA98, TA1537, and TA1538 were not included in the test with metabolic activation. The test material precipitated in the soft agar at concentrations of 8100 and 24,300 µg/0.1 mL.
In the tests conducted without microsomal activation, there was a slight increase in the number of back-mutant colonies of strain TA100 in the 2700 µg/0.1 mL concentration and above. Additionally, a growth-inhibiting effect was reported in the tests without activation for strains TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538 at a concentration of 24,300 µg/0.1 mL. In the first assay with microsomal activation, there was a slight increase in the number of back-mutant colonies of strain TA1537 at 300 and 2700 µg/0.1 mL. The study authors attributed this to fluctuation in the rate of spontaneously occurring back-mutants.
Negative and positive controls produced the expected mutant colony counts.
Under the experimental conditions, the test material displayed weak mutagenic activity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to genetic toxicity.
