Histidine requirement No Growth onMinimal plates+Biotin.Growth onMinimal plates+Biotin+Histidine.
Tryptophan requirement No Growth onMinimal agar plates.Growth onMinimal plates+Tryptophan.

- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Preliminary Toxicity test: 2500, 791, 250, 79.1 and 25.0 µg/plate ( based on solubility test).
Main Assay I: +/- S9: 2500, 1250, 625, 313 and 156 µg/plate
Main Assay II: +/- S9: 1250, 625, 313, 156 and 78.1 µg/plate. - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: compatible with the survival of the bacteria and the S9 metabolic activity.
Controls
- Untreated negative controls:
- yes
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- 9-aminoacridine
- 2-nitrofluorene
- sodium azide
- methylmethanesulfonate
- other: 2-aminoanthracene
- Remarks:
- Marked increases in revertant numbers were obtained in these tests following treatment with the positive control items, indicating that the assay system was functioning correctly.
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The preliminary toxicity test and the first experiment were perfomed using a plate-incorporation method. The second experiment was performed using a pre-incubation method.
- Evaluation criteria:
- For the test item to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that the test item Vat Red 32 does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.
- Executive summary:
The test item Vat Red 32 was examined for the ability to induce gene mutations in tester strains of Salmonella typhimuriumand Escherichia coli, as measured by reversion of auxotrophic strains to prototrophy. The five tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrAwere used. Experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, using liver S9 fraction from rats pre-treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone. The test item was used as a suspension/solution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).
Toxicity test:
As limited by solubility, the test item Vat Red 32 was assayed in the toxicity test at a maximum concentration of 2500 µg/plate and at four lower concentrations spaced at approximately half-log intervals: 791, 250, 79.1 and 25.0 µg/plate. Precipitation of the test item was observed with all tester strains at the two highest dose levels, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Slight toxicity was seen with TA1535, TA1537 and TA100 tester strains at the highest dose level, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. No relevant increases in revertant numbers were observed with any tester strain, at any dose level, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism.
Main Assays:
On the basis of toxicity test results, inMain Assay I, using the plate incorporation method, the test item was assayed at a maximun dose level of 2500 µg/plate and at four lower dose levels spaced by a factor of two: 1250, 625, 313, 156 µg/plate. Dose-related precipitation of the test item was seen with all tester strains at the two highest dose levels, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolic activation. A slight toxicity was observed with TA1535, TA1537 and TA100 tester strains at the highest dose level, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. As no relevant increase in revertant numbers was observed at any concentration tested, a Main Assay II was performed and a pre-incubation step was included for all treatments. Due to DMSO toxicity, the volume of vehicle and test item suspensions/solutions that can be used with the pre-incubation method is 50 µL, therefore the maximum practicable concentration was 1250 µg/plate. The test item was assayed at the following dose levels: 1250, 625, 313, 156 and 78.1 µg/plate. No precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration tested, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolic activation. No toxicity was observed with any tester strain at any dose level, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism. The test item did not induce relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies, at any dose level, in any tester strain, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism.
Conclusion:
It is concluded that the test item Vat Red 32 does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions. RTC
