- Evaluation criteria:
- A test substance producing no biologically relevant positive response in any one of the bacterial strains tested is considered to be non-mutagenic in this system.Test materials are considered to be mutagenic if at least one tester strain of Salmonella typhimurium shows at least a doubling in the mean number of revertans per plate over the appropriate control in tester strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, and TA102; in TA1535, a positive response is a threefold increase in revertant. A dose respons effect must also be observed over at least three concentrations of the test material in any tester strain.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:range finding study: Although the spontaneous mutation frequency of the medium control for tester strain TA98 was lower than the minimal acceptable level of 15 revertants/plate, the S9 control was in the acceptable range. All other positive and negative controls were within the acceptable ranges for tester strains TA98 and TAl00.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:Toxicity was observed in tester strains TA98 and TA100 at 0.01 mg/plate in the absence of S9, and at 0.05 mg/plate in the presence of S9. Because of the variability in toxicity with S9, 0.01 mg/plate was selected as the highest dose level of test substance for definitive testing in the absence of S9, and 0.05 mg/plate was selected as the highest dose level for definitive testing in the presence of S9.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- C16 Alkylamidopropyltrimethylammonium Chloride was evaluated in the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA1535 in the presence and absence of rat liver S9 mix. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance was negative for mutagenic potential.
- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria according to OECD guideline 471 (adopted 21 July 1997), Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535 were exposed to C16 Alkylamidopropyltrimethylammonium Chloride in DMSO in concentrations of 0 (control), 0.1, 0.3, 0.8, 1, 3, 8, and 10 µg/plate in all strains in the absence of mammalian metabolic activation (rat liver S9 mix) and in concentrations of 0 (control), 0.8, 1, 3, 8, 10, 30, and 50 µg/plate in all strains in the presence of mammalian metabolic activation (rat liver S9 mix). The assay was performed using the plate incorporation method.
The test substance was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations. Cytotoxic effects were noted in strains TA98 and TA100 starting at 10 µg/plate without metabolic activation, and at 50 µg/plate in with metabolic activation. Precipitation was not observed.The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. The mean numbers of revertant colonies in the negative controls were within the ranges of the historical control data.
There was no evidence of an increase in the number of revertant colonies that exceeded twice background in any of the five tester strains (TA97a, TA98, TA 100, TA102, or TA1 535) examined at dose levels up to 10 µg/plate in the absence of a metabolic activation source (S9) or at dose levels up to 50 µg/plate in the presence of S9. Therefore, test substance was considered to be non-genotoxic (non-mutagenic) in Salmonella tester strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA 1535 under the conditions employed (plate incorporation assay).
There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.
Under the conditions of the study, the test substance was negative for mutagenic potential.
