DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants; reduction of the bacterial background lawn - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed.A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant. - Statistics:

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: To evaluate the toxicity of the test item a pre-experiment was performed with all strains used. Eight concentrations were tested for toxicity and mutation induction with each 3 plates. The pre-experiment is reported as main experiment I, since the following criteria are met: Evaluable plates (>0 colonies) at five concentrations or more in all strains used.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: In experiment I the number of colonies did not quite reach the lower limit of the laboratory's historical control data in the negative control of strain TA 1535 with metabolic activation. Since this deviation is rather small, this effect is judged to be based upon statistical fluctuations and has no detrimental impact on the outcome of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- During the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, no substantial increase in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains was observed at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance. Therefore, Amphopropionate C12-18 is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria according to OECD guideline 471 (July, 1997) and EU Method B. 13/14 (2008) strains of S. typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100) and E. coli (WP2 uvr A) were exposed in two independent experiments to Amphopropionate C12 -18 (ca. 40% a.i.) at concentrations of 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate using the plate incorporation method and at concentrations of 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000 and 2500 µg/plate using the reincubation method both in the absence and presence of mammalian metabolic activation.
The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains and metabolic activation was confirmed. Precipitation of Amphopropionate C12 -18 did not occur up to the highest investigated dose. Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in all strains with and without metabolic activation.
In both mutation assays, no increase in the number of revertants over background was observed upon treatment with Amphopropinate C12 -18 under all conditions tested.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Amphopropionate C12 -18 is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay. This study is classified as acceptable. It satisfies the requirements for Test Guideline OECD 471 for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.
