Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance was not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation. - Executive summary:
The test substance was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains (TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98, E.coli WP2 uvrA) in a reverse mutation assay. The mutagenic potential was tested in a dose range of 1.0 o 5000 µg/plate in the SPT and in a range of 1.0 to 333 µg/plate in the PIT. The PIT and the SPT were both performed with and without metabolic activation (liver S9 mix from induced rats). Precipitation of the test substance was found depending on the strain and test conditions from about 100 µg/plate onward. A strong bacteriotoxic effect was observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 100 µg/plate onward. A relevant increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed in the standard plate test or in the preincubation test either without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.

Additional information
Bacterial reverse mutation test
Key study:
The test substance was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains (TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98, E.coli WP2 uvrA) in a reverse mutation assay. The mutagenic potential was tested in a dose range of 1.0 o 5000 µg/plate in the SPT and in a range of 1.0 to 333 µg/plate in the PIT. The PIT and the SPT were both performed with and without metabolic activation (liver S9 mix from induced rats). Precipitation of the test substance was found depending on the strain and test conditions from about 100 µg/plate onward. A strong bacteriotoxic effect was observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 100 µg/plate onward. A relevant increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed in the standard plate test or in the preincubation test either without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance was not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.
Supporting study:
The test item was tested for mutagenic effects on histidine-auxotrophic mutants of Salmonella typhimurium. The investigations were performed on strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 with the following concentrations of the trial substance without and with microsomal activation: 1, 3, 9, 27 and 81 µg/plate. In order to confirm the results, the experiments were repeated with the concentrations of 6, 18, 54, 162 nad 486 µg/plate.
These tests permit the detection of point mutations in bacteria induced by chemical substances. Any mutagenic effects of the substances are demonstrable on comparison of the number of bacteria in the treated and control culures that have undergone back-mutation to histidine-phototrophism. To ensure that mutagenic effects of metabolites of the test substances formed in mammals would also be detected, experiments were performed in which the cultures were additionally treated with an activation mixture (rat liver microsomes and co-factors).
In the experiments performed without and with microsomal activation, comparison of the number of back-mutant colonies in the controls and the cultures treated with the various concentrations of the test item revealed a reduction in the colony count due to a growth-inhibiting effect of the compound at the upper concentrations.
No evidence of the induction of point mutations by the test item or by the metabolites of the substance formed as a result of microsomal activation was detectable in the strains of S. typhimurium used in these experiments.
Mammalian cell gene mutation assay
The substance was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) locus in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in vitro. Two independent experiments were carried out, both with and without the addition of liver S9 mix from phenobarbital- and β-naphthoflavone induced rats (exogenous metabolic activation). According to an initial range-finding cytotoxicity test for the determination of the experimental doses and taking into account the cytotoxicity actually found in the main experiments, the following concentrations were tested. Test groups printed in bold type were evaluated for gene mutations:
1st Experiment:
- without S9 mix: 0; 2.3; 4.7; 9.4; 18.8; 37.5; 75.0; 150.0 μg/mL
- with S9 mix: 0; 2.3; 4.7; 9.4; 18.8; 37.5; 75.0; 150.0 μg/mL
2nd Experiment:
- without S9 mix: 0; 3.1; 6.3; 12.5; 25.0; 50.0; 100.0 μg/mL
- with S9 mix: 0; 3.1; 6.3; 12.5; 25.0; 50.0; 100.0; 150.0 μg/mL
Following attachment of the cells for 20 - 24 hours, cells were treated with the test substance for 4 hours in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. Subsequently, cells were cultured for 6 - 8 days and then selected in 6-thioguanine-containing medium for another week. Finally, the colonies of each test group were fixed with methanol, stained with Giemsa and counted. The vehicle controls gave mutant frequencies within the range expected for the CHO cell line. Both positive control substances, ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]- anthracene (DMBA), led to the expected increase in the frequencies of forward mutations. In this study, in the 1st and 2nd Experiment, the highest concentrations evaluated for gene mutations were clearly cytotoxic in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation. Based on the results of the present study, the test substance did not cause any relevant increase in the mutant frequencies either without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system in two experiments performed independently of each other.
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not mutagenic in the HPRT locus assay under in vitro conditions in CHO cells in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.
In vitro Micronucleus Assay in V79 cells
The test substance was assessed for its potential to induce micronuclei in V79 cells in vitro (clastogenic or aneugenic activity). Two independent experiments were carried out, both with and without the addition of liver S9 mix from induced rats (exogenous metabolic activation). According to an initial range-finding cytotoxicity test for the determination of the experimental doses, the following concentrations were tested. The test groups printed in bold type were evaluated.
1st Experiment
4 hours exposure, 24 hours harvest time, without S9 mix
0; 3.13; 6.25; 12.50; 25.00; 50.00 and 100.00 μg/mL
4 hours exposure, 24 hours harvest time, with S9 mix
0; 6.25; 12.50; 25.00; 50.00; 100.0 and 200.00 μg/mL
2nd Experiment
24 hours exposure, 24 hours harvest time, without S9 mix
0; 1.56; 3.13; 6.25; 12.50; 25.00 and 50.00 μg/mL
4 hours exposure, 44 hours harvest time, with S9 mix
0; 3.13; 6.25; 12.50; 25.00; 50.00 and 100.00 μg/mL μg/mL
A sample of at least 1000 cells for each culture were analyzed for micronuclei, i.e. 2000 cells for each test group. The negative controls gave frequencies of micronucleated cells within our historical negative control data range for V79 cells. Both positive control substances, ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) and cyclophosphamide (CPP), led to the expected increase in the number of cells containing micronuclei. Cytotoxicity indicated by clearly reduced cell count (given as relative population doubling [RPD]) or proliferation index (CBPI) or low slide quality was observed at least at the highest applied test substance concentrations in all experimental parts of this study. On the basis of the results of the present study, the test substance did not cause any biologically relevant increase in the number of cells containing micronuclei either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
