DURATION

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 72 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates for each test concentration

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Background lawn assessment, revertant colony counts

Metabolic activation: Male Wistar rats recieved single i.p. injection of Aroclor 1254 ( 500 mg/kg body weight) in olive oil 5 days prior to the preparation of the S9 fraction. One part of S9 fraction was mixed with 9 parts of a cofactor solution resulting in the following mixture:
-10 % S9 fraction
-33 mM KCl
-8 mM MgCl2
-5 mM glucose-6-phosphate
-4 mM NADP, 100 mM Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4, pH 7.4.
0.5 ml of S9 mix were added to a total volume of 2.7 ml, giving a final concentration of approximately 1%
Evaluation criteria:
Solvent control data must be within range of historical data.

The mean of each positive control must exhibit at least a three fold increase in the number of revertants over the mean value of the respective vehicle control.

A minimum of four non-toxic dose levels are required to evaluate assay data.

For a test substance to be considered positive, it must cause at least a doubling in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain.
The increase must be accompanied by a dose response towards increasing concentrations of the test article.

Cytotoxicity is defined by a reduction in the number of revertant colonies and / or a clearing of the background lawn.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
positive with and without metabolic activation

In a bacterial reverse mutation assay according to OECD 471 and to GLP, (3-chloropropyl)diethoxymethylsilane induced a mutagenic effect in Salmonella typhimurium strains: TA 1535 with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were used and gave expected results. The test substance is considered to be a direct-acting mutagen, inducing base pair mutations.
