METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
: Dose related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of the test item either in the presence or absence of the metabolic activation system. - Evaluation criteria:
- EVALUATION AND INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS
To determine a positive result, there should be a dose related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of the test item either in the presence or absence of the metabolic activation system. The test will be judged positive, if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response is equal to or greater than 2 times the mean vehicle control value for strains TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA (pKM101) or equal to or greater than 3 times the mean vehicle control value for strains TA1535 and TA1537.
An equivocal response is a biologically relevant increase in a revertant count that partially meets the criteria for evaluation as positive. This could be a dose responsive increase that does not achieve the respective threshold cited above or a non-dose responsive increase that is equal to or greater than the respective threshold cited. A response will be evaluated as negative, if it is neither positive nor equivocal. - Key result

- Executive summary:
The test item, FAT 75637/B was tested for its mutagenic potential in the bacterial reverse mutation assay in a study conducted according to OECD test guideline 471 in a GLP certified laboratory. The study was conducted using TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 strains of Salmonella typhimurium and WP2uvrA (pKM101) strain of Escherichia coli in three phases, a preliminary toxicity test, an initial mutation assay and a confirmatory mutation assay. The bacterial tester strains were exposed to the test item in the presence and absence of hamster uninduced liver S9. FAT 75637/B formed a free-flowing suspension in DMSO at 50 mg/mL. In a preliminary toxicity test for the selection of test doses for the mutation assay, the test item did not precipitate on the basal agar plates up to 3200 µg/plate. However, at 5000 µg/plate, test item showed non interfering precipitate, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system. The test item did not cause toxicity to the strain at any of the tested doses as the intensity of the bacterial background lawn as well as the mean number of revertant colonies were comparable to the vehicle control plates. Based on these observations, the OECD 471-recommended top dose of 5000 µg/plate was tested in the mutation assay. In the mutation assay the bacterial tester strains were exposed to FAT 75637/B in triplicate at 50, 158, 500, 1581 and 5000 µg/plate. The initial mutation assay was conducted using the direct plate incorporation mode of exposure whereas, the confirmatory mutation assay was carried out using the pre-incubation mode of exposure. The vehicle control (DMSO) and the appropriate positive controls were tested simultaneously. The mean and standard deviation of numbers of revertant colonies were calculated for each test dose and the controls for all the tester strains. The results of the study from both the initial and confirmatory mutation assays showed that, FAT 75637/B did not show any positive mutagenic increase at any of the tested doses either in the presence or in the absence of metabolic activation. Under identical test conditions, there was a more than 3-fold increase in the mean numbers of revertant colonies in the positive controls, demonstrating the sensitivity of the assay procedure used. The study indicated that FAT 75637/B was not mutagenic in this Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay up to the OECD 471-recommended top dose of 5000 µg/plate, under the conditions of testing employed.

RESULTS
Genotypic Characterization
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 demonstrated the requirement of histidine amino acid for their growth. Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA (pKM101) demonstrated the requirement of tryptophan amino acid for its growth. Ampicillin resistance was demonstrated by the strains TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA (pKM101) which carry R-factor plasmids. The presence of characteristic mutations like the rfa mutation was demonstrated by all the Salmonella typhimurium strains by their sensitivity to crystal violet. The uvrA mutation in the Escherichia coli strain and the uvrB mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium strains were demonstrated through their sensitivity to ultraviolet light. Finally, all these tester strains produced spontaneous revertant colonies which were within the frequency ranges of the test facility’s historical control data.
Preliminary Solubility Test for selection of vehicle
The test item was insoluble in sterile water and formed free flowing suspension in DMSO at 50 mg/mL, on sonication. DMSO is one of the vehicles compatible with this test system. Hence, based on the results of the solubility test, DMSO was selected as the vehicle of choice in the mutation assay.
Preliminary Toxicity Test and Justification for the Selection of Target Top Dose
The test item did not cause precipitation on the basal agar plates up to 3200 μg/plate. Test item exhibited non-interfering precipitate at 5000 μg/plate at any of the tested doses. The test item did not show toxicity to the tester strain at any of the tested doses as the intensity of the bacterial background lawn as well as the mean number of revertant colonies were comparable to the vehicle control plates, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Based on these observations, it was decided to test the OECD 471- recommended top dose of 5000 μg/plate in the mutation assay.
Mutation Assay
Viable Counts of the Overnight Tester Strains
Viable counts of all the tester strains were within the required range of 1-2 x 10E9 CFU/mL for the initial toxicity-mutation as well as the confirmatory mutation assay.
Initial Mutation Assay
The test item did not cause precipitation up to 1581 μg/plate. However non-interfering precipitate was observed at 5000 μg/plate on the basal agar plates. The test item did not show toxicity to any of the tester strains up to the top dose of 5000 μg/plate, as the intensity of the bacterial background lawn and the mean number of revertant colonies was comparable to the vehicle control plates both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. The tested doses showed no positive mutagenic increase in the mean number of revertant colonies for any of the tester strains when compared to the respective vehicle control plates, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Positive control chemicals tested simultaneously produced a more than 3-fold increase in the mean numbers of revertant colonies for all the strains when compared to the respective vehicle control plates. No toxicity was observed in the positive controls as the intensity of the bacterial background lawn of all the tester strains was comparable to that of the respective vehicle control plates.
Confirmatory Mutation Assay
The test item did not cause precipitation up to 1581 μg/plate. However non-interfering precipitate was observed at 5000 μg/plate on the basal agar plates. The test item did not show toxicity to any of the tester strains up to the top dose of 5000 μg/plate, as the intensity of the bacterial background lawn and the mean number of revertant colonies was comparable to the vehicle control plates both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. The tested doses showed no positive mutagenic increase in the mean number of revertant colonies for any of the tester strains when compared to the respective vehicle control plates, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Positive control chemicals tested simultaneously produced a more than 3-fold increase in the mean numbers of revertant colonies for all the strains when compared to the respective vehicle control plates. No toxicity was observed in the positive controls as the intensity of the bacterial background lawn of all the tester strains was comparable to that of the respective vehicle control plates.
