GENOTOXIC EFFECTS:
- With metabolic activation: None
- Without metabolic activation: Slight effects in TA 98 and TA 1537 in the main test and slight effects in TA 1537 in the pre-incubation test were associated with very low revertant rates in solvent control and not dose-related.
Thus they were not considered to be signs of mutagenicity:
-------------------------------------------------------
Revertant rates in pre-incubation test without metabolic activation:
TA 1537, untreated: 8; solvent: 7; 125 µg: 7; 250 µg: 9; 500 µg: 7; 1000 µg: 15; 2000 µg: 15
-------------------------------------------------------
Revertant rates in main test without metabolic activation:
TA 98, untreated: 11; solvent: 4; 8 µg: 4; 40 µg: 10; 200 µg: 4; 1000 µg: 5; 5000 µg: 15, precipitation
TA 1537, untreated: 7; solvent: 4; 8 µg: 7; 40 µg: 4; 200 µg: 12; 1000 µg: 3; 5000 µg: 0, toxic and precipitation
-------------------------------------------------------
The positive controls were functional.
PRECIPITATION CONCENTRATION: 5000 µg/plate
CYTOTOXIC CONCENTRATION:
TA 98: None (+/- S9)
TA 100: None (+/- S9)
TA 1535: 5000 µg/plate (+/- S9)
TA 1537: 5000 µg/plate (- S9)
TA 1538: None (+/- S9)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Decahydronaphthalene was not genotoxic in both the presence or absence of metabolic activation in a microbial mutagenicity assay.
- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538 of Salmonella typhimurium were exposed to decahydronaphthalene using acetone as a vehicle at concentrations of 8 - 5000 µg/plate, with and without S-9 activation in a preincubation assay according to EEC guidance Dir. 84/449/EEC, B.14.
The test article was tested at six dose levels along with appropriate vehicle and positive controls on the tester strains mentioned above in the presence and absence of S9-mix. All dose levels, vehicle and positive controls were plated in triplicate.
Cytotoxicity was noted at 1000 -5000 µg/plate.
No positive mutagenic responses were observed with any of the strains used, in the presence as well as in the absence of microsomal enzymes.These results were confirmed in an independent assay.
