Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Cis-cyclooctene was not mutagenic when tested on S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538, with or without S9-mix activation.

Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538 of Salmonella typhimurium were exposed to Cis-cyclooctene using acetone as a vehicle at concentrations of 8, 40, 200, 100 and 5000 µg/plate, with and without S-9 activation in a preincubation assay according to EEC guidance Dir. 84/449/EEC, B.14.

The test article was tested at six dose levels along with appropriate vehicle and positive controls on the tester strains mentioned above in the presence and absence of S9-mix. All dose levels, vehicle and positive controls were plated in triplicate.

Cytotoxicity was noted in the absence of S9 mix at the highest concentration for TA 1535 and TA1537.

No positive mutagenic responses were observed with any of the strains used, in the presence as well as in the absence of microsomal enzymes. These results were confirmed in an independent assay.
