- Method: Background lawn condition.

Rationale for test conditions:

Evaluation criteria:

For the test article to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article as specified below:
Strains TA1535 and TA1537:
Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 3.0-times the mean vehicle control value and above the corresponding acceptable vehicle control range.
Strains TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA:
Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 2.0-times the mean vehicle control value and above the corresponding acceptable vehicle control range.
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 was evaluated as negative if it was neither positive nor equivocal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, MTDID 47403 was negative in the Ames mutagenicity assay with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix).

Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of MTDID 47403 was evaluated in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E. coli strain WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix). The test method was based on OECD 471 and Ames et al. (1973) and was performed in compliance with GLP. The test article was dissolved in DMSO. A dose range-finding test was performed with concentration up to 5000 μg/mL in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. Based on the results of the dose range finding test, the test article was dosed at concentrations of 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 ug/plate. Each culture was run in triplicate. The following procedure was carried out for each strain. One-half (0.5) milliliter of S9 or Sham mix, 100 μL of tester strain (cells seeded) and 50.0 μL of vehicle or test article dilution were added to 2.0 mL of molten selective top agar at 45°C. When plating the positive controls, the test article aliquot was replaced by a 50.0 μL aliquot of appropriate positive control. After vortexing, the mixture was overlaid onto the surface of 25 mL of minimal bottom agar. After the overlay had solidified, the plates were inverted and incubated for 48-72 hours at 37°C. Plates that were not counted immediately following the incubation period were stored at 2-8°C until colony counting could be conducted. The condition of the bacterial background lawn was evaluated for evidence of test article toxicity by using a dissecting microscope. Precipitate was evaluated after the incubation period by visual examination without magnification. Toxicity and degree of precipitation were scored relative to the vehicle control plate using codes ranging from normal (1 or no code) to absent (6; complete lack of any microcolony lawn over greater than or equal to 90% of the plate). As appropriate, colonies were enumerated either by hand or by machine. No substantial increases in the revertant colony numbers of any of the tester strains were observed following treatment with the test article at any dose level with and without metabolic activation. Vehicle and positive controls responded as expected. Based on the results of the study, MTDID 47403 was negative in the Ames mutagenicity assay with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix).
