Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

5 µL/plate, 1.5 µL/plate, 0.5 µL/plate, 0.15 µL/plate and 0.05 µL/plate

Vehicle / solvent:

In a non-GLP pre-test, the solubility of the test item was determined in demineralised water, acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The test item is soluble in a concentration of 50 mL/L in DMSO.
Based on these results, DMSO will be used as solvent in the experiments.
Therefore, a test item solution containing 50 ± 5 mL/L in DMSO will be prepared in the initial experiment.

VALIDITY
Genotype
Each strain must fulfil the requirements concerning the presence (or absence) of specific mutations. The following genotype specifications of the test system were tested for each batch (procedure is laid down in corresponding SOP):
• histidine deficiency
• Ampicillin-/Tetracycline-resistance (pKM101 and pAQ1; for TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102; control : TA1535)
• Sensitivity against crystal violet (deep rough/rfa, for TA 97a, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535)
• UV-sensitivity (uvrB, only TA102 may show growth)

Spontaneous Revertants
If the spontaneous revertants of the negative control were in the range of the historical data of the laboratory.

Positive Controls
Mutagenicity of all positive controls must be detected. The revertant numbers was compared with the history of revertants based on the tests performed in the test facility.

Titre Determination
The titre determination showed a density of at least 109 bacteria/mL. If the detected number is lower but the spontaneous revertants lie within the normal range, the test may be stated as valid.

Sterility Control
No growth of bacteria should be detected.

Rationale for test conditions:

The study is implemented with the following guidelines:
• OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Part 471, adopted 21. Jul. 1997
“Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test“
• Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, EU-Method B.13/14 adopted 30. May 2008 “Mutagenicity –Reverse mutation test using bacteria”
Additional information was taken from:
• K. Mortelmans, Errol Zeiger: “The Ames Salmonella/microsome mutagenicity assay”, Mutation Research 455 (2000) 29-60, Elsevier Science B.V.
• D.M. Maron, B.N. Ames: “Revised methods for the Salmonella mutagenicity test”, Mutation Research 113 (1983) 173-215, Elsevier Biomedical Press

Evaluation criteria:

The mean values and standard deviations of each threefold determination are calculated as well as the increase factor of revertant induction (mean revertants divided by mean spontaneous revertants) of the test item solutions and the positive controls. Additionally, the absolute number of revertants (mean revertants minus mean spontaneous revertants) is given.
A substance is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate exceeding an increase factor of 2 in at least one strain can be observed. A concentration-related increase over the range tested is also taken as a sign of mutagenic activity.
Tables and, if applicable, graphs of the values will be included in the final report. It will be stated, at which concentration (µL or nL/plate) mutagenicity could be observed. The lowest concentration which showed mutagenicity is decisive of the assessment of the test item.

VALIDITY
Genotype
Each strain must fulfil the requirements concerning the presence (or absence) of specific mutations. The following genotype specifications of the test system will be tested for each batch (procedure is laid down in corresponding SOP):
• histidine deficiency
• Ampicillin-/Tetracycline-resistance (pKM101 and pAQ1; for TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102; control : TA1535)
• Sensitivity against crystal violet (deep rough/rfa, for TA 97a, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535)
• UV-sensitivity (uvrB, only TA102 may show growth)

Spontaneous Revertants
If the spontaneous revertants of the negative control are not in the range of the historical data of the laboratory and the mutagenicity of the test item is not clear, the experiment will be repeated.

Positive Controls
Mutagenicity of all positive controls must be detected. The revertant numbers will be com-pared with the history of revertants based on the tests performed in the test facility. If no mutagenicity is detected, the experiment will be repeated with the respective strain.

Titre Determination
The titre determination should show a density of at least 109 bacteria/mL. If the detected number is lower but the spontaneous revertants lie within the normal range, the test may be stated as valid. This decision is responsibility of the study director.

Sterility Control
No growth of bacteria should be detected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

not mutagenic and not cytotoxic

Executive summary:

In in vitro study according to OECD Guideline 471 (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay) and EU B.13/14 the substance was tested with 5 strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535), without and with S-9 mix Aroclor 1254 induced rat liver metabolic activation system, to detect point mutations, which involve substitution, addition or deletion of one or a few DNA base pairs.

In the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test, the test item didn´t show any mutagenic potential.
