PRELIMINARY TOXICITY TEST
- A preliminary test was conducted in order to select appropriate dose levels for use in the main test.
- 0.1 mL bacterial culture (TA100 or WP2uvrA), 2 mL of molten, trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented top agar, 0.1 mL of test substance formulation and 0.5 mL S9-mix or phosphate buffer and overlaying onto sterile plates of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar (30mL/plate).
- 10 concentrations of the test substance formulation and a vehicle control (acetone) were tested.
- 0.1 mL of the maximum concentration of the test substance and 2 mL molten trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented top agar were overlaid onto a sterile nutrient agar plate in order to assess the sterility of the test substance.
MUTATION TEST 1
- 0.1 mL of one of the bacterial cultures were dispensed into sets of test tubes with 2mL molten, trace histidine or tryptophane supplemented top agar, 0.1 mL vehicle, test material formulation or postiive control and 0.5 mL of S9-mix or phosphate buffer.
- The test tubes were mixed and equally distributed onto the surface of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plates (one tube per plate)
- The procedure was repeated in triplicate for each bacterial strain and for each concentration of test material both with and without S9-mix.
MUTATION TEST 2
- Performed using fresh bacterial cultures, test substance and control solutions.
- Based on results from Experiment 1 and the change in test methodology led to a change in the test substance dose range.

- The test substance formulation and S9-mix used in this experiment were both shown to be sterile.
Controls:
- The results for the negative controls (spontaneous mutation rates) were considered to be acceptable.
- All positive control chemicals induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies thus confirming the activity of the S0-mix and the sensitivity of the bacterial strains.
Mutation test 1:
- The test substance (from the 15 µg/plate) caused a visible reduction in the growth of the Salmonella bacterial background lawns (except for TA98 in the presence of the S9-mix)
- No toxicity was seen to E.coli WP2uvrA

- The test substance caused a slightly stronger toxic response with weakened bacterial background lawns initially from 5µg/plate in the absence of S9-mix and 15 µg/plate in the presence of the S9-mix.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Main experiment
- The master strains were checked prior to use for characteristics, viability and spontaneous reversion rate, which were all found to be satisfactory.
- The amino acid supplemented top agar and S9 -mix were shown to be sterile.
- The culture density for each bacterial strain was checked and considered to be acceptable.
- The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test substance varied slightly between strain type, the presence and absence of metabolic activation and the experimental methodology.
- The test substance was tested up to the toxic limit or maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate depending on the bacterial strain type, the presence or absence of the S9 -mix and the experimental methodology.
- A test substance precipitate (oily in appearance) was seen under an inverted microscope on the 5000 µg/plate, but it did not prevent the scoring of the revertant colonies.
Acceptance criteria - the reverse mutation assay may be considered valid if the following criteria are met:
- All bacterial strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their respective strain checks.
- All tester strain cultures should show a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls.
- All tester strain cultures should be in the range of 0.9-9 x10^9 bacterial per mL.
- Diagnostic mutagens (positive control chemicals) must be included to demonstrate both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagen exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix. All of the positive control cehmicals used in the study should induce marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonise, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
- There should be a minimum of four non-toxic test substance dose levels.
- There should be no evidence of excessive contamination.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study and based on the results, the test substance, Ocimene PQ, was considered to be non-mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix).
- Executive summary:
This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of the test substance, Ocimene PQ, to induce reverse mutations, either directly or after metabolic activation, at the histidine or tryptopjhan locus in the genome of five strains of bacteria. The study was performed in accordance with OECD 471, EU Method B.13/14, the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF, and the USA EPA (TSCA) OPPTS harmonised guidelines.
The bacterial strains employed in this study were Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA. The bacterial strains wree treated with the test substance using the Ames plate incorporation (Mutation test 1) and pre-incubation (Mutation test 2) methods at up to seven dose levels, tested in triplicate with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolising system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). A preliminary toxicity assay was initially performed in order to select appropriate dose levels for the main experiment. The test ubstance was found to be toxic to S. typhimuriumTA100 at the 5000 µg/plate and non-toxic to E.coli WP2uvrA.
The dose range for Mutation test 1 was determined by the preliminary test and ranged from 0.15 -5000 µg/plate, depending on the bacterial strain and the presence or absence of the S9 -mix. Mutation test 2 was repeated on a separate dat (pre-incubation), using an amended dose range of 0.05 -5000 µg/plate, fresh cultures of bacterial strains and fresh test substance preparations. Additional dose levels and an expanded dose range were selected where applicable, in order to achieve the four non-toxic dose levels and the toxic limit of the test substance.
In Mutation test 1, the test substance caused a visible reduction in the growth of the Salmonella bacterial background lawns from the 15 µg/plate (except for TA98 in the presence of the S9-mix), but no toxicity was seen to E.coli WP2uvrA. Mutation test 2, the test substance caused a slightly stronger toxic response with weakened bacterial background lawns initially from 5µg/plate in the absence of S9-mix and 15 µg/plate in the presence of the S9-mix. Weakened lawns in the E.coli WP2uvrA strain were noted at 1500 µg/plate only in the absence of metabolic activation. The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test substance varied slightly between strain type, the presence and absence of metabolic activation and the experimental methodology. The test substance was tested up to the toxic limit or maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate depending on the bacterial strain type, the presence or absence of the S9 -mix and the experimental methodology. There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains with any dose of the test material, either in the presence or absence of the S9 -mix or in either exposure method employed.
There was a test substance precipitate (oily in appearance) seen under an inverted microscope on the 5000 µg/plate, but it did not prevent the scoring of the revertant colonies.The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave revertant colony counts within the normal range and all positive chemicals induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. The acceptance criteria were met and therefore the sensitivity of the assay and effiicacy of the S9 -mix were validated.
Under the conditions of the study and based on the results, it can be conluded that the test substance, Ocimene PQ, was considered to be non-mutagenic to Salmonella strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix).
