yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
other: water
Positive controls:
yes

other: Aflaxotine B1
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
see attached document on test system (1-3)
Rationale for test conditions:
The study was conducted according to OECD 471. according to Ames (1983) mutationRes. 113, 173-215 the strains TA97 and TA 102 are recommended instead of TA1535 and TA1537 and they give better response to the mutagen spectrum. theses are the strain used in this test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
All positive control groups showed significantly increased mutation frequencies which demonstrates the sensitivity of the test system.
the test substance was not toxic up to 5 mg/plate. all used concentrations could be evaluated.
In none of the tested concentrations and with none of the used strains a statistically significant increase of the mutation frequency was obtained. Metabolic activation did not change these results.
The test substance is therefore non mutagenic in Ames test.
Executive summary:

MEP was tested for mutagenic action with the salmonella thyphimurium reverse mutation assay (Ames test). The study was conducted according to OECD 471.

The test substance was tested at concentrations ranging from 62 µg to 5 mg per plate. with and without external metabolizing system S9 -mix.

The following bacterial strains were used: TA 97, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102, as well as negative (vehicle) and positive control.

All  positive control groups showed significantly increased mutation frequencies which demonstrates the sensitivity of the test system.

the test substance was not toxic up to 5 mg/plate. all used concentrations could be evaluated.

In none of the tested concentrations and with none of the used strains a statistically significant increase of the mutation frequency was obtained. Metabolic activation did not change these results.

The test substance is therefore non mutagenic in Ames test.
