NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED:
- The presence of revertant colonies were scored using an automated colony counting system.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity) - Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any one or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested.
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response)
A test substance is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Although most experiments give clear positive or negative results, in some instances, the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgement about test substance activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was confirmed by using Dunnetts Regression Analysis (* = p < 0.05) for those values that indicate statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent solvent control.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Preliminary toxicity test
- The test substance was non-toxic to the strains of bacteria used (TA100 and WP2uvrA).
- Salmonella strain TA100 (absence of S9 -mix) plate counts were slightly below expected levels, but were still considered valid, since the test was performed only to assess test substance toxicity in order to evaluate dose levels for the main phase of testing.
Mutation test
- The characteristics, viability and spontaneous reversion rate of the master strains were found to be satisfactory and the amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9 -mix used in both experiments were shown to be sterile.
- The spontaneous mutation rates for the negative (untreated) controls were considered to be acceptable.
- The maximum dose level of the test substance in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 50% in air.
- There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any test substance concentration, either in the presence of absence of metabolic activation (S9 -mix) in the first or second mutation test and no visible reduction in the presence of absence of the S9 -mix at any test concentration in the second mutation test.
- There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test substance concentration, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 1 or 2.
- A small statistically significant increase in revertant colony frequency was observed in the first mutation test at 25% per plate (TA1537 in the presence of the S9 -mix), but it was considered to be of no biological relevance as there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility.
- Individual revertant counts at the statistically significant dose level was within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for the tester strain and the maximum fold increase was 1.9 times the concurrent vehicle controls.
- The vehicle (air) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range.
- All of the positive control chemicals used in the test, induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Therefore, the sensitivity of the assay and efficacy of the S9 -mix were validated.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test substance, 3,3,4,4,4-pentafluorobut-1-ene (CAS No 374-27-6) was considered to be non-mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA1537, TA98, TA1535, TA100) and the Escherichia coli WP2uvrA strain.
- Executive summary:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of the test substance, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4 -pentafluorobut-1 -ene, to induce reverse mutations, either directly or after metabolic activation, at the histidine or tryptophan locus in the genome of five strains of bacteria (Salmonella typhimurium TA1537, TA98, TA1535 and TA100, and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA). The test method conducted was designed to be compatible with the following guidelines: OECD 471, EU Method B13/14, EPA OPPTS 870 .5100 and the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
The five bacterial strains were tested again atmospheres of the test substance using the Ames bacterial/microsome test system, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolising system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 3.125 -50% (air mixtures) in the first experiment. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using the same dose range as Experiment 1, fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test material atmospheres.
A preliminary toxicity test was conducted in order to select appropriate dose levels for the main phase of testing and evaluate test substance toxicity. The test substance was shown to be non-toxic to the bacterial strains used (TA100 and WP2uvrA). TA100 strain plate counts in the absence of the S9 -mix were slightly below expected levels, however the results were still considered valid. The test concentrations chosen were 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25 and 50%, which were employed for both Experiment 1 and 2.
The maximum dose level of the test substance in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 50% in air. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any test substance concentration, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 -mix) in the first mutation test, and the same maximum dose level was used in the second mutation test. There was also no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any test substance concentration with or without the S9 -mix in the second mutation test. There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies seen for any of the bacterial strains with any dose of test material with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 1 or 2, except a small statistically significant increase in revertant colony frequency seen in the first mutation test at 25% per plate (TA1537 in the presence of S9 -mix). However, this increase was considered not to be biologically relevant, as there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility. Also, the individual revertant counts at the statistically significant dose level was within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for the tester strain and the maximum fold increase was only 1.9 times the concurrent vehicle controls.
The vehicle (air control) gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range and all of the positive control chemicals induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Therefore, the sensitivity of the assay and efficacy of the S9 -mix were validated.
Under the conditions of this study, the test substance, 3,3,4,4,4-pentafluorobut-1-ene (CAS No 374-27-6) was considered to be non-mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA1537, TA98, TA1535, TA100) and the Escherichia coli WP2uvrA strain.
