OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- The presence of precipitation of the test compound on the plates was determined.
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent vehicle control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains T1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In accordance with OECD 471 (1997) and according to GLP principles, the mutagenic activity of the substance was investigated in vitro. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

In accordance with OECD 471 (1997) and according to GLP principles, the mutagenic activity of the substance was investigated in vitro. As no cytotoxicity and no precipitation of the test substance was observed, the substance was tested up to and including 5000 µg/plate in all tester strains, in the absence and presence of S9-mix. Adequate solvent and positive controls were included. The substance did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four S. typhimurium tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA, both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in independently repeated experiments. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with and without metabolic activation.
