-a reproducible three times higher mutation frequency than the solvent control for at least one of the concentrations;
-a concentration related increase of the mutation frequency; such an evaluation may be considered also in the case that a three-fold increase of the mutant frequency is not observed;
-if there is by chance a low spontaneous mutation rate in the corresponding negative and solvent controls a concentration related increase of the mutations within their range has to be discussed. - Statistics:

- Executive summary:
The study was conducted according to OECD guideline no. 476 and in accordance with GLP. In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT locus), V79 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to FAT 36014/Z TE dissolved in DMSO at concentrations of
- 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.5, 14.0, 15.5, 17.0 µM (without metabolic activation, Experiment I)
- 10, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 µM (with metabolic activation, Experiment I)
- 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 µM (without metabolic activation, Experiment II)
- 8, 16, 22, 30, 38, 46, 52, 58, 60 µM (with metabolic activation, Experiment II).
FAT 36014/Z was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.
Biologically relevant growth inhibition was observed in experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation. In experiment I without metabolic activation the relative growth was 23.6 % for the highest concentration (17 µM) evaluated. The highest biologically relevant concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 70 µM with a relative growth of 12.1 %. In experiment II without metabolic activation the relative growth was 12.6 % for the highest concentration (70 µM) evaluated. The highest concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 60 µM with a relative growth of 11.7 %.
In experiment I without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 1.59 was found at a concentration of 17 µM with a relative growth of 23.6 %.
In experiment I with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 1.60 was found at a concentration of 70 µM with a relative growth of 12.1 %.
In experiment II without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 1.64 was found at a concentration of 65 µM with a relative growth of 16.6 %.
In experiment II with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 2.03 was found at a concentration of 52 µM with a relative growth of 15.7 %.
In experiment I without metabolic activation the requirements of testing one concentration with relative growth between 10 % and 20 % could not be fulfilled.
The highest concentration of 17 µM resulted in a relative growth of 23.6 %. Due to the fact that in this experiment the gradient of toxicity is very steep and that all stages of toxicity have been detected without any hint at mutagenicity, this deficiency is considered to be not biologically relevant. The positive controls did induce the appropriate response. There was no evidence of a concentration related positive response of induced mutant colonies over background. This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5300, OECD 476 for in vitro mutagenicity (mammalian forward gene mutation) data. In conclusion, in the described in vitro cell gene mutagenicity test under the experimental conditions reported, the test item FAT 36014/Z is considered to be non-mutagenic in the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster.

Batch No: 292347.26
Aggregate State at RT: Solid
Colour: yellow to brown
Purity: 90.7 % (active ingredient)
Analysis: cf. information in sponsor's file
Stability: Pure: until April, 1998. In solvent: if necassary it will be performed by the sponsor at a later date
Storage: Room temperature
Expiration Date: April, 1998 - Target gene:
- Histidine gene
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- The strains are derived from S. typhimurium strain LT2 and due to a mutation in the histidine locus are histidine dependent. Additionally, due to the "deep rough" (rfa-minus) mutation they possess a faulty lipopolysaccharide envelope which enables substances to penetrate the cell wall more easily. A further mutation causes a reduction in the activity of an excision repair system. The latter alteration includes mutational processes in the nitrate reductase and biotin genes produced in a UV-sensitive area of the gene named "uvrB-minus". In the strains TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 the R-factor plasmid pKM 101 carries the ampicillin resistance marker. The strain TA 102 does not contain the uvrB"-mutation. Additionally, TA 102 contains the multicopy plasmid pAQ1, which carries the hisG428 mutation and a tetracycline resistance gene. TA 102 contains the ochre mutation in hisG gene.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II)
For each strain and dose level, including the controls, a minimum of three plates were used.
Experiment 1: The following materials were mixed in a test tube and poured onto the selective agar plates:
- 100 µL: Test solution at each dose level, solvent control, negative control, or reference mutagen solution (positive control),
- 500 µL: S9 mix (for test with metabolic activation) or S9 mix substitution-buffer (for test without metabolic activation),
- 100 µL: Bacteria suspension (cf. test system, pre-culture of the strains),
- 2000 µL: Overlay agar
Experiment 2: In the pre-incubation assay 100 µL test solution, 500 µL S9 mix/S9 mix substitution buffer and 100 µL bacteria suspension were mixed in a test tube and incubated at 37 °C for 60 minutes. After pre-incubation 2 mL overlay agar (45°) was added to each tube. The mixture was poured on minimal agar plates. After solidification the plates were incubated upside down for at least 48 h at 37 °C in the dark.
Number of replication: Triplicate
Number of independent experiments: Two - Evaluation criteria:
- The generally accepted conditions for the evaluation of the results are: corresponding background growth on both negative control and test plates as well as normal range of spontaneous reversion rates. Due to international guidelines a statistical evaluation of the results is recommended. However, no evaluated statistical procedure can be recommended for analysis of data from the bacterial assays at this time. A test substance is considered as positive if either a dose related or reproducible increase in the number of revertants or a significant and reproducible increase for at least one test concentration is induced. A test substance producing neither a dose related and reproducible increase in the number of revertants nor a significant and reproducible positive response at any one of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system. A significant response is described as follows: A test substance is considered as mutagenic if in strain TA 100 and TA 102 the number of reversions is at least twice as high and in strains TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 98 it is at least three times higher as compared to the spontaneous reversion rate. Also, a dose-dependent and reproducible increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential of the test substance regardless whether the highest dose induced the above described enhancement factors or not.
- Statistics:
- A statistical analysis of the test data was not performed. At present the use of statistical methods concerning this particular test system is not generally recommended.

- Executive summary:
A bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed to investigate the potential of FAT 36014/F, Terasil Gelb GWL roh feucht (laborgetrocknet) to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100, and TA 102. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate. The test article was tested at the following concentrations: 33.3; 100 ; 333.3; 1000 ; 2500 ; and 5000 µg/plate (of active ingredient). In experiment II toxic effects, evidenced by a reduction in the number of revertants, occurred in strain TA 1537 at 2500.0 and 5000 µg/plate and in strain TA 98 at 5000 µg/plate without metabolic activation, as well as at 2500 and 5000 µg/plate with metabolic activation. The plates incubated with the test article showed normal background growth up to 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix in all strains used. No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with FAT 36014/F, Terasil Gelb GWL roh feucht (laborgetrocknet) at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of significance. Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase of induced revertant colonies. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce point mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used. Therefore, FAT 36014/F, Terasil Gelb GWL roh feucht (laborgetrocknet) is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay.

- Executive summary:
To investigate the potential of FAT 36014/Z to induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells, an in vitro chromosome aberration assay was conducted according to OECD TG 473, EC No 440/2008 B10 and OPPTS 870.5375. The metaphases were prepared 20 h after start of treatment with the test item. The treatment interval was 4 h without and with metabolic activation in experiment I. In experiment II, the treatment interval was 20 h without and 4 h with metabolic activation. Duplicate cultures were treated at each concentration. 100 metaphases per culture were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations. Based on the results of the solubility test DMSO was used as solvent (1 % DMSO final concentration). The solvent was compatible with the survival of the cells and the S9 activity.
The following concentrations were evaluated for the microscopic analysis of chromosomal aberrations:
Experiment I:
without metabolic activation: 10, 25 and 50 µM
with metabolic activation: 30, 60 and 90 µM
Experiment II:
without metabolic activation: 2.5, 7.5 and 15 µM
with metabolic activation: 20, 40 and 50 µM
No precipitation effects of the test item were noted without and with metabolic activation in all dose groups evaluated in experiment I and II. In experiment I without metabolic activation, cytotoxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of 25 µM and higher considering the relative mitotic index and the relative cell count. With metabolic activation cytotoxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of 90 µM and higher considering the relative mitotic index and the relative cell count. In experiment II without metabolic activation, cytotoxic effects of the test item were observed at concentrations of 15 µM and higher considering the relative mitotic index the relative cell count. With metabolic activation no cytotoxic effects of the test item were noted considering the relative mitotic index. However, considering the relative cell count cytotoxic effects were observed not until 40 µM. In both experiments, no biologically relevant increase of the aberration rates was noted after treatment with the test item without and with metabolic activation. The aberration rates of all dose groups treated with the test item were within the historical control data of the negative control. In the experiments I and II without and with metabolic activation no biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was found after treatment with the test item as compared to the solvent controls. EMS (600 µg/mL) and CPA (1.11 µg/mL) were used as positive controls and induced distinct and biologically relevant increases in cells with structural chromosomal aberrations, thus proving the efficiency of the test system to indicate potential clastogenic effects. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described in vitro chromosome aberration test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item FAT 36014/Z did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line. Therefore, the test item FAT 36014/Z is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test.

The highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 1.59 was found at a concentration of 17 μM with a relative growth of 23.6 %. With metabolic activation most mutant values of the negative controls, the solvent controls and test item concentrations found were within the historical control data of the test facility BSL BIOSERVICE (about 5-44 mutants per 10E6 cells). No dose-response relationship could be observed. The mutation frequencies found in the groups treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase as compared to the solvent controls. Mutation frequencies with the negative control were found to be 26.59 and 24.79, of the solvent control 33.53 and 24.71 mutants/106 cells and in the range of 11.18 to 46.63 mutants/10E6 cells with the test item, respectively. The highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 1.60 was found at a concentration of 70 μM with a relative growth of 12.1 %. In experiment II without metabolic activation most mutant values of the negative controls, the solvent controls and test item concentrations found were within the historical control data of the test facility BSL BIOSERVICE (about 5-43 mutants per 106 cells). No dose-response relationship couldbe observed. The mutation frequencies found in the groups treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase as compared to the solvent controls. Mutation frequencies with the negative control were found to be 21.50 and 24.26, of the solvent control 38.06 and 40.96 mutants/106 cells and in the range of 19.44 to 64.86 mutants/106 cells with the test item, respectively. The highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 1.64 was found at a concentration of 65 μM with a relative growth of 16.6 %. In experiment II with metabolic activation all mutant values of the negative controls, the solvent controls and test item concentrations found were within the historical control data of the test facility BSL BIOSERVICE (about 5-44 mutants per 10E6 cells). No dose-response relationship could be observed. The mutation frequencies found in the groups treated with the test item did not show a biologically relevant increase as compared to the solvent controls. Mutation frequencies with the negative control were found to be 41.21 and 24.93, of the solvent control 17.37 and 22.05 mutants/106 cells and in the range of 12.56 to 40.00 mutants/10E6 cells with the test item, respectively. The highest mutation rate (compared to the solvent control values) of 2.03 was found at a concentration of 52 μM with a relative growth of 15.7 %. DMBA (0.8 and 1 μg/mL) and EMS (300 μg/mL) were used as positive controls and showed distinct and biologically relevant effects in mutation frequency.

Additional information
Bacterial reverse mutation assay:
An in vitro study was performed to investigate the potential of the test substance (of ca. >90.7 % purity) to induce gene mutations according to OECD Guideline 471 and EU Method B.14 in compliance with GLP. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver metabolic activation. Experiment I was performed as a plate incorporation assay and Experiment II as a pre-incubation assay using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate at up to 5000 µg/plate. Under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay.
In a supporting study, FAT 36014/C was found to be not mutagenic when tested in the bacterial reverse mutation assay.
In vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay:
FAT 36014/Z was assessed for potential to induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells, in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay. The findings of the study suggest that, FAT 36014/Z did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line. Therefore, FAT 36014/Z is considered to be non-clastogenic.
In vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay:
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT locus), V79 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to FAT 36014/Z dissolved in DMSO at various concentrations. In the described in vitro cell gene mutagenicity test under the experimental conditions reported, FAT 36014/Z is considered to be non-mutagenic in the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster.
Disperse Yellow 042 was neither mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay and/or in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT) nor clastogenic in the in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay, hence can be considered to be not genotoxic.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Disperse Yellow 042 was found to be not genotoxic, hence it does not warrant classification for mutagenicity accordingto Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
