Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: pre-incubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period for bacterial strains: 20 minutes
- Exposure duration: 48 hrs

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Triplicate plating.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: plates were assessed for numbers of revertant colonies and examined for effects on the growth of the bacterial background lawn.
Evaluation criteria:
Criteria for judgement:
In the two main tests, if the number of revertant colonies on the test plates increased significantly in comparison with that on the control plates (based on twice as many as that of the negative control), and dose-response and reproducibility were also observed, the test substance was to be judged positive. The results at each concentration were demonstrated with the mean and the standard deviation.

Results and discussion:
Preliminary Test:
growth inhibition by the test substance was not observed in any strains either with or without metabolic activation. Precipitate of the test substance was not observed either with or without metabolic activation.

Main Test:
In the two main tests, neither an increase in the number of revertant colonies (more than twice as many as that of the negative control) nor a dose-related response was observed at any doses in any strains of base-pair substitution type or frame-shift type, with or without metabolic activation.

The revertant colonies of the positive controls showed an increase of more than twice that of the negative controls and they were within limit of controls (mean ± 3 SD) in background data, indicating that this study was performed correctly.

From these results, mutagenicity of the test substance was judged negative.

The growth inhibition of the test strains by the test substance was not observed, and the precipitate on the plates was not observed either with or without metabolic activation.

In the sterility test on the test solution and the S9 mix, no growth of bacteria was observed.


Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results:
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

From the results, it is concluded that Magenta T-43 was not mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay carried out under the experimental conditions.
Executive summary:

The mutagenicity potential of Magenta T-43 was assessed with Salmonella typhimurium TAl00, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA.

In this study, neither an increase in the number of revertant colonies more than twice in comparison with that of the negative control nor a dose-related response was observed in any strains of base-pair substitution type or frame-shift type, with or without metabolic activation.

From the above, it is judged that Magenta T-43 has no mutagenicity forward to bacteria under the described study conditions.
