Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
Assay 1:in agar (plate incorporation) with and without metabolic activation
A stock solution of the test item was prepared at 100 mg / mL. In a test tube, 0.1 mL of the bacterial suspension containing 1-9E09 bacteria/mL and 0.1 mL of each dilution of the original solution and 0.5 mL of sterile phosphate buffer are successively added to 2 mL of overlay agar maintained super cooled in 45ºC containing 5% (v/v) of a L-Histidine-D-Biotine solution (0.5 mM) for Salmonella Typhimurium strains or containing 5% (v/v) of nutrient broth nº2 to which are added 5 μL of a L-Tryptophane solution at 2 mg/mL for Escherichia coli strain.
In the assay with metabolic activation, either a standard plate incorporation method where the protocol is similar to the described above, except that, 500 μL of S9-mix fraction is quickly added, before pouring the mixture onto the plates.
After a 48-72 hour incubation period at 37ºC, revertant colonies are counted in each plate. Data are presented as the number of revertant colonies (mean ± standard deviation) per plate. The following ratio is calculated:
R= Number of revertant colonies in the presence of the test item / Number of revertant colonies in the absence of the test item

Assay 2: preincubation with and without metabolic activation
A stock solution of the test item was prepared at 100 mg / mL. The assay without metabolic activation was performed as mendioned in assay 1.
In the assay with metabolic activation, the solution of the test item solution with the test strain and 500 μL of S9-mix fraction are preincubated with shaking for 30 min, at 37ºC prior to mixing with the overlay agar and pouring onto the minimal agar plate.
After a 48-72 hour incubation period at 37ºC, revertant colonies are counted in each plate. Data are presented as the number of revertant colonies (mean ± standard deviation) per plate, and the ratio is calculate as mentioned before.
If the first assay is positive, the second one is performed in the same manner.
If the first assay, in presence of the test item, is negative, the pre-incubation test is performed for the second assay.

- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): 1-9E09 bacteria/mL

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 30 min at 37ºC (Assay 2)
- Exposure duration: 48-72 hours at 37ºC

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays):
Salmonella Thyphimuriun strains: lack of Histidine in the media
Escherichia coli: lack of Tryptophane in the media

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: Preliminary cytotoxicity test (Strain TA100): In a test tube 0.1 mL of the bacterial suspension (1-9E03 bacteria /mL) and 0.1 mL of the stock solution of L-Histidine-D-Biotine (2.5 mM). After homogenization, the content of the tube is poured onto a Petri plate (90 mm in diameter) containing minimal agar (20 mL). 3 plates per concentration are incubated for 48-72 h at 37ºC, and the colonies counted. A negative control containing the blank alone is run in parallel. In case of bacteriostatic activity
is detected, the highest concentration to be retined is that exhibiting a bacteriostatic activity of 75% or less. The precipitate, if present, should not interfere with the scoring. The following four dilutions studied are distributed according to a semi-logarithmic progression.

- OTHER:
STERILITY TESTS: Test item and the corresponding dilutions are added to 2 mL of top agar maintained at 45ºC, and poured after homogenization on the bottom agar (20 mL) onto a Petri plate (90 mm in diameter) (n=3). Plates are incubated for 48-72 hours at 37ºC and then examined. There should be no bacterial growth on any plate. S9-mix sterility is checked using the same protocol.

PREPARATION OF THE METABOLIC ACTIVATION SYSTEM:
Obtention of S9 fraction: S9 fraction, microsome fraction prepared from Sprague Dawley rat liver homogenate, is provided by MOLTOX (POB Box 1189 - 157 Industrial Park Dr - Boone, NC 28607 - USA) (S9 Moltox-11101-5-3607 validated on 04.2016 - expiry date: 24.03.2018).
Preparation of S9-mix 10% (v/v): The final concentration of co-factors and salts is as follows: S9 fraction 10%; MgCl2-6H2O 8 mM; KCl 33 mM; Glucose-6-Phophate Na2 5 mM; NADP Na2 4mM; Phosphate buffer pH 7.4 0.1 M.

CONTROL OF STRAINS
- Histidine and tryptophane requirements with cultrues in presence and in absence of L-histidine and L-triptophane for Samonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli strains respectively.
- Loss of cell wall LPS (rfa mutation) measuring crystal violet inhibition for Salmonella typhimurium strains.
- Ampicillin resistance for the strains which have the pKM 101 plasmide.
- Δuvr B mutation i.e. U.V.B. sensitivity for Salmonella typhimurium and Δuvr A mutation i.e. U.V.A. sensitivity for Escherichia coli.
- Spontaneous revertant rate.
- Sensitivity to reference mutagens.
Rationale for test conditions:
Results of sterility controls show the absence of any bacterial growth in the presence of the various concentrations of the test item and in the presence of S9-mix.
Results of the bacteriostatic activity control show toxicity consistent with the maximum tolerated 75% in presence of 5000 µg/plate.
Values and frequency ranges from the laboratory's historical control
Evaluation criteria:
The result of the test is considered as negative if the revertant number is below 3-fold the number of spontaneous reversions for TA 1535 and TA 1537 strains, and below 2-fold the number of spontaneous reversions for TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 (uvrA-) (pKM 101) strains with and without metabolic activation.
The result of the test is considered as positive if a dependent relationship concentration is obtained in one, or several of the 5 strains, without and/or with metabolic activation, a mutagenic effect being taken into account for a given dilution of test item if the number of revertant colonies is at least 2-fold that of spontaneous revertant colonies for TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 (uvrA-) (pKM 101), and 3-fold for TA 1535 and TA 1537.

Conclusions:
The test item do not induce any mutagenic change in Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2 with and without metabolic activation up to 5000 µg/plate.
Executive summary:

The determination of the mutagenic potential of the test item has been assessed by the bacterial reverse mutation test, performed according to OECD 471 method and under GLP conditions. A preliminary study showed no toxicity up to 5000 μg/plate. A stock solution of the test item was prepared at 100 mg/mL and various concentrations of the test item (5000, 1500, 500, 150 and 50 μg/plate) were put in contact with the strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA98, TA100 of Salmonela typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2 (uvrA-) (pKM 101), with and without metabolic activation. Two independent assays were performed. For assay nº1, the different concetrations of the test item were put in contact with the strains in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system S9-mix 10% (v/v) for 48 -72 h at 37ºC . For assay nº2, the different concentrations of the test item were put in contact with the strains in the absence of metabolic activation and with pre-incubation in the presence of metablic activation system. For both assays, negative and positive controls were carried out in parallel. Positive controls induced a signifiacnt increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to negative controls. There is no evidence of any increase in the number of revertant colonies in the presence of the various concentration of the test item, with and without metabolic activation in the strains tested. The different doses prepared from solutions of test item, do not induce any mutagenic change in Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98,

TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2 (uvrA-) (pKM 101) with or without metabolic activation.
