S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

Species / strain 2

Species / strain / cell type:

Metabolic activation:

with and without

Metabolic activation system:

cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male SD rats treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

19.5, 78.1, 313, 1250 and 5000 µg/plate (Dose-finding test)

313, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate (Main test: TA 100 and WP2 uvra +/-S9, TA 98 +S9)
2.44, 4.88, 9.77, 19.5, 39.1 and 78.1 (Main test: 1535 -S9)
9.77, 19.5, 39.1, 78.1, 156 and 313 (Main test: 1537 +/- S9, TA 98 -S9, TA 1535 +S9

Justification for top dose: In the dose-finding experiment growth inhibition was observed at 78.1 µg/plate and above for S. typhimurium TA1535 without metabolic activation, and at 313 µg/plate and above for S. typhimurium TA98 and TA1537 without metabolic activation and for S. typhimurium TA1535 and TA1537 with metabolic activation. The maximum dose level was set at 78.1 µg/plate for S. typhimurium TA1535 without metabolic activation and at 313 µg/plate for S. typhimurium TA98 and TA1537 without metabolic activation and for S. typhimurium TA1535 and TA1537 with metabolic activation and a total of 6 dose levels were selected by diluting five times at a common ratio of two. For S. typhimurium TA100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA without metabolic activation and S. typhimurium TA100, TA98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA with metabolic activation, the maximum dose level was set at 5000 µg/plate and a total of five dose levels obtained by diluting four times at a common ratio of two because no growth inhibition was observed. Precipitates were observed at 1250 µg/plate and above without metabolic activation.

Vehicle / solvent:

- Vehicle used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Since the test article is insoluble in water, a solubility test in DMSO was performed at the test facility. Based on these results, DMSO was used as the vehicle in this study because the test article was dissolved in DMSO at 50 mg/mL and there were no reactions such as exothermic reaction or generation of gasses.

Controls

Untreated negative controls:

no

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

True negative controls:

no

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

sodium azide

benzo(a)pyrene

other: 2-(2-Furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (AF-2) , 2-Methoxy-6-chloro-9-[3-(2-chloroethyl)- aminopropylamino]acridine.2HCl (ICR-191) and 2-Aminoanthracene (2AA) solved in DMSO

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation method

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 50 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: growth inhibition

Rationale for test conditions:

based on dose-range finding study.

Evaluation criteria:

If a twofold or more increase in the number of revertant colonies to that of natural revertant colonies (the negative control) was observed on paralle to a dose-response and reproducibility was noted, or even if no clear dose-response was observed but there was at least twofold increase in comparison with the number of natural revertant colonies and reproducibility was observed in the two main tests, the test article was judged to be positive.

Statistics:

Mean numbers and standard deviations of the revertant colonies of each concentration of each test system was calculated and compared to that of the solvent control.
