Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test item L-Tyrosine, N-acetyl-3,5-dinitro-, ethyl ester, dissolved in DMSO was tested in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation test by performing two individual experiments (plate in-corporation and pre-incubation method). Both experiments were performed in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (S9).
The test item showed no precipitation and no toxicity at any of the tested concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate in experiment 1 and 2 (see chapter 8.1.2 and 8.2.2).
In experiment 1 (plate incorporation method), none of the tested concentrations showed a relevant increase (increase factor f(I) ≥ 2 or 3) in the number of revertants in all tested strain.
However, for TA100 (+/-S9) and TA102 (-S9) a dose-related increase over the tested con-centrations could be observed, and therefore, the test item is stated as likely mutagenic under the conditions of this experiment.
To verify this result, a further experiment (exp. 2) was performed with the pre-incubation method and adapted test item concentrations.
In experiment 2, the test item again caused no relevant increase (increase factor f(I) ≥ 2 or 3) in the number of revertants in all bacteria strains compared to the solvent control, in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation and for TA100 (+/-S9) a dose-related increase over the tested concentrations could be observed.
In the lower concentrations (Exp. 1: 150 and 50 µg/plate, Exp.2: 313, 156, 78 µg/plate), the number of revertants is not decreasing to lower numbers, because these values are near the number of the spontaneous revertants in DMSO.
According to Dan D.Levy et al. (see Literature in chapter 5) the historical control data of the solvent controls are a further support to evaluate the result together with clear increase and dose-dependency.
In experiment 1 the number of spontaneous revertants of TA100 of the solvent DMSO were higher than the mean of the historical control data (mean -S9: 66, mean +S9: 69), but with-in the control data range (mean ± 3 SD -/+S9: 36-102). The test item concentrations reached no increase with f(I) ≥ 2, but at all concentrations the mean number of revertants was beyond the historical control range (upper limit mean ± 3 SD: 102) with and without metabolic activation. And also, above the 95.5% (mean ± 2 SD) control limits (-S9: 42-90; +S9: 47-91). In combination with the high solvent control values of DMSO, the increase of the test item values is not strong and only slightly higher than an f(I) value of 1.0.
In experiment 2 the number of spontaneous revertants of TA100 of the solvent DMSO were slightly higher than the mean of the historical control data (mean -S9: 66, mean +S9: 69). The test item concentrations reached no increase with f(I) ≥ 2, but at the highest concentra-tion (5000 µg/plate) the number of revertants was beyond the historical control range (up-per limit: 102) with and without metabolic activation. The revertant colony counts at 2500 g/plate were also near the upper limit of the historical control data range and above the 95.5% control limits.
The dose dependency could be verified, but the clear increase over the historical data of the solvent control was not reproducible, resulting in no clearly positive result under the conditions of the study and therefore it is assessed as equivocal, but with a tendency for the test item to show weak mutagenic effects.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that L-Tyrosine, N-acetyl-3,5-dinitro-, ethyl ester tested in the Salmonella typhimurium strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation under the experimental conditions in this study led to an inconclusive outcome.
The study was performed with the plate incorporation (experiment 1) and pre-incubation method (experiment 2) in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (S9). Under these conditions the influence of the test item on bacterial test strains was evaluated in both experiments. The test item L-Tyrosine, N-acetyl-3,5-dinitro-, ethyl ester showed no relevant increase in the number of revertants (f(I) ≥ 2 or 3) in the Salmonella typhimurium test strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 in both evaluated experiments, but for the strain TA100 a dose-related increase was found with and without metabolic activa-tion in experiment 1 and 2.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that L-Tyrosine, N-acetyl-3,5-dinitro-, ethyl ester tested in the Salmonella typhimurium strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation under the experimental conditions in this study led to an inconclusive outcome (see discussion in chapter 10) - Executive summary:
Findings and Results:
The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent Guideline OECD 471 (2020) and EU Method B.13/14 (2008).
The test item L-Tyrosine, N-acetyl-3,5-dinitro-, ethyl ester was tested in the Bacterial reverse mutation assay with five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537).
The test was performed in two experiments in the presence and absence of metabolic activation, with +S9 standing for the presence of a metabolic activation, and -S9 standing for absence of metabolic activation.
Experiment 1:
In the first experiment, the test item (dissolved in Dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO) was tested up to concentrations of 5000 µg/plate in the absence and presence of S9 mix in the strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 using the plate incorporation method.
The test item showed no precipitates and no signs of toxicity on the plates at any of the concentrations in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation (for details see chapter 8.1.2, page 22).
The results of this experiment showed that none of the tested concentrations showed a relevant increase (increase factor f(I) ≥ 2 or 3) in the number of revertants in all tested strains, in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation.
For TA100 (+/-S9) and TA102 (-S9) a tendency of a dose-related increase over the tested concentrations could be observed.
Experiment 2:
Based on the results of the first experiment, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of S9 mix in all bacteria strains using the pre-incubation method.
The test item showed no precipitates on the plates at any of the test item concentrations.
For TA1537 (-S9) a slight decrease in the number of revertants was observed in all tested concentrations, but no further signs of toxicity could be observed (for detail see chapter 8.2.2, page 24).
The results of this experiment showed that the test item caused no relevant increase (increase factor f(I) ≥ 2 or 3) in the number of revertants in all bacteria strains compared to the solvent control, in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation. For TA100 (+/-S9) a dose-related increase over the tested concentrations could be observed.
Conclusion:
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that L-Tyrosine, N-acetyl-3,5-dinitro-, ethyl ester tested in the Salmonella typhimurium strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation under the experimental conditions in this study led to an inconclusive outcome (see discussion in chapter 10 for further details)
