ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In an AMES test, performed according to OECD 471 guideline and GLP principles, Cholesteryl acetate was found not to be mutagenic with or without metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
An AMES test was performed according to OECD 471 guideline and GLP principles.
In the dose-range finding study, the test item was initially tested up to concentrations of 5000 µg/plate in the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA in the direct plate assay. The test item precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 164 μg/plate and upwards. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed. Results of this dose-range finding test were reported as part of the first mutation assay. In the first mutation experiment, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 512 µg/plate in the strains TA1535, TA1537 and TA98. The test item was tested up to or beyond a precipitating dose level. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed.
In the second mutation experiment, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 164 µg/plate in the tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA in the pre-incubation assay. The test item did not precipitate on the plates at any of the dose levels tested. The test item was tested up to or beyond a precipitating dose level. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed. Since in the second mutation assay no toxicity and no precipitate on the plates was observed up to the top dose of 164 µg/plate in all tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix, an additional experiment was performed.
In this third mutation experiment, the test item was tested at a concentration range of 512 to 1600 µg/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix. Precipitate was observed in all tester strains at concentrations 512 µg/plate and upwards and 1600 µg/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix, respectively. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed.
The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Cholesteryl acetate is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with or without metabolic activation.
