negative
The test substance is not mutagenic in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation. - Executive summary:
This study examined the potential of the test substance to cause mutations in mammalian cells. Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to concentrations of 0, 0.6, 1, 1.8, 3, and 6 ug/ml without S9, and 0, 6, 10, 18, 30, and 60 ug/ml with S9. The cells were then examined for cytogenicity and mutation frequency. Ethyl methane sulfonate and 3-(20-)methylcholanthrene were used as positive control substances. Preliminary tests show the test substance was cytogenic at concentrations of 50 ug/ml or greater with metabolic activation, and 100 ug/ml or above without metabolic activation. There was no biologically significant increase in mutation frequency in the treated groups. The test substance is considered not mutagenic to CHO cells both in the presence and absence of S9.

Additional information
Branched CaDDBS (Phenylsulfonat CA) was tested for mutagenicity in the Ames test using strains TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA 98 of Salmonella typhimurium. Studies were conducted in the presence and absence of S-9 metabolic activity derived from rat liver homogenate. Six doses ranging from 4 to 5000 micrograms/plate were tested in the mutagenicity test. Negative and positive controls showed the expected results and the test is valid. The test substance was toxic to most of the bacterial strains at 500 micrograms/plate and 5000 micrograms/plate was chosen as the top dose level for the mutagenicity study. Phenylsulfonat CA did not result in relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies, either in the presence or absence of a metabolic activation system. Phenylsulfonat CA is not mutagenic in this study.
Supporting studies conducted on LAS are also provided. The first study examined the potential of LAS to cause mutations in mammalian cells. Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to concentrations of 0, 0.6, 1, 1.8, 3, and 6 ug/ml without S9, and 0, 6, 10, 18, 30, and 60 ug/ml with S9. The cells were then examined for cytogenicity and mutation frequency. Preliminary tests show the test substance was cytogenic at concentrations of 50 ug/ml or greater with metabolic activation, and 100 ug/ml or above without metabolic activation. There was no biologically significant increase in mutation frequency in the treated groups. The test substance is considered not mutagenic to CHO cells both in the presence and absence of S9.
In an in vivo study, male and female NMRI mice were exposed to 1122 mg/kg LAS by gavage and assessed after 72 hours for chromosome aberrations. No significant increases in the number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei were observed.
Short description of key information:
Branched CaDDBS (Phenylsulfonat CA) was tested for mutagenicity in the Ames test and did not result in relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies, either in the presence or absence of a metabolic activation system. Therefore, Phenylsulfonat CA is not mutagenic in this study.
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the negative results in an Ames test with Branched CaDDBS and with one in vitro and one in vivo genotoxiicty studies conducted on LAS, Branched CaDDBS is not considered to be mutagenic.
