DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY

ACCEPTABILITY OF THE ASSAY:
The reverse mutation assay may be considered valid if the following criteria are met: All bacterial strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their respective strain checks according to Ames et al., (1975), Maron and Ames (1983) and Mortelmans and Zeiger (2000). All tester strain cultures should exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls (negative controls). Acceptable ranges are presented as follows: TA1535: 7 to 40, TA100: 60 to 200, TA1537: 2 to 30, TA98: 8 to 60, WP2uvrA: 10 to 60.
All tester strain cultures should be in the range of 0.9 to 9 x 10^9 bacteria per mL. Diagnostic mutagens (positive control chemicals) must be included to demonstrate both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagen exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix. All of the positive control chemicals used in the study should induce marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, which are at least the minimum positive control value over the previous two years, both with or without metabolic activation. There should be a minimum of four non-toxic test item dose levels. There should be no evidence of excessive contamination. - Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).
A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was confirmed by using Dunnetts Regression Analysis (* = p < 0.05) for those values that indicate statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent solvent control.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
The vehicle (dimethyl sulphoxide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies in excess of the minimum positive control values over the previous two years, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
Results for the negative controls (spontaneous mutation rates) were generally considered to be acceptable. These data are for concurrent untreated control plates performed on the same day as the Mutation Test. Two counts for TA1535 (second mutation test) were just below the minimum level. These counts were still considered acceptable as the other vehicle and untreated control counts were within expected range and the tester strain responded very well with the respective positive controls in both the presence and absence of S9 mix.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Experiment 1: In the first mutation test (plate incorporation method), the test item caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all of the Salmonella tester strains, initially from 500 μg/plate in the absence of S9-mix and 1500 μg/plate in the presence of S9-mix. Toxicity was noted to Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA from 1500 μg/plate in both the presence and absence of S9-mix.
Experiment 2: weakened bacterial background lawns noted to all of the tester strains in both the absence and presence of S9-mix from 150 μg/plate.
The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test item varied slightly between exposures with or without S9-mix and experimental methodology.
VALIDITY CRITERIA:
Prior to use, the master strains were checked for characteristics, viability and spontaneous reversion rate (all were found to be satisfactory). The amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9-mix used in both experiments was shown to be sterile. The test item formulation was also shown to be sterile.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON RESULTS:
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 1 (plate incorporation method). Similarly, no toxicologically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 2 (pre incubation method). A small, statistically significant increase in TA1535 revertant colony frequency was observed in the second mutation test at 15 µg/plate in the presence of S9-mix only. This increase was considered to be of no biological relevance because there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility. Furthermore, the individual revertant counts at the statistically significant dose level were within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for the tester strain and the maximum fold increase was only 1.9 times the concurrent vehicle control.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test substance was determined to be not negative in the Ames test.
- Executive summary:
The mutagenic activity of Dimeth Cyclormol was evaluated in accordance with OECD TG 471 and according to GLP principles (Klimisch 1). The test was performed in two independent experiments: the first using the direct plate incorporation method, and the second using the pre-incubation method, both in the absence and presence of S9-mix, with strains TA1535, TA1537, TA 98, TA100 and WP2uvrA. The dose range for experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 μg/plate, in all strains, with or without S9-mix. The dose range for experiment 2 was amended slightly, following the results of Experiment 1, and was 0.5 to 1500 µg/plate, in all strains, with and without S9. In experiment 1 the test item caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all of the Salmonella tester strains, initially from 500 µg/plate in the absence of S9-mix and 1500 µg/plate in the presence of S9-mix. Toxicity was noted to Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA from 1500 µg/plate in both the presence and absence of S9-mix. In experiment 2, cytotoxicity as evidenced by weakened bacterial background lawns was noted to all of the tester strains in both the absence and presence of S9-mix from 150 µg/plate. Adequate negative and positive controls were included. The substance did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies in each of the four S. typhimurium tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and E. coli tester strain (WP2uvrA), both in the absence and presence of S9 -metabolic activation, in experiment 1 and 2. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Dimeth Cyclormol is negative in the Ames test.
