Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor-supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Following concentrations were used in the main experiments:

First experiment (plate ioncorporation, all strains): 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 μg/plate with and without metabolic activation (tested up to the limit concentration)
Second experiment (pre-incubation, all strains): 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 μg/plate with and without metabolic activation (based on results of first experiment, tested up to the limit concentration)
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: acetone
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in ditilled water and DMSO, acetone was selected as the vehicle.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium; in agar (plate incorporation) (first experiment); preincubation (second experiment)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: approx. 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: inspection of bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance criteria

The study was considered valid if:
- the bacterial strains demonstrate the required strain characteristics
- the number of revertant colonies of the negative (solvent) and positive controls are in the historical control range in all strains of the main tests
- all tester strain cultures should be in the range of 0.9 - 9 x 10^9 bacteria/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
- a minimum of four non-toxic test item dose levels
- no evidence of excessive contamination

Evaluation criteria

A positive result is determined by any, one or all of the following:
- dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested
- a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations
- biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges
- statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS
- at least 2-fold increase compared to the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response)

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.

In some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgment about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal.
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.
