DURATION

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: number of revertant colonies and the background lawn of auxotrophic cells - Evaluation criteria:
- The colony numbers on the untreated, vehicle and positive controls and the test item treated plates were determined (counted manually, evaluated by unaided eye), the mean values, standard deviations and the mutation rates were calculated.
Mutation Rate = mena revertants at the test item (or control) treatments / mean revertants of vehicle control
A test item is considered mutagenic if:
- a dose-related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or;
- a reproducible biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.
An increase is considered biologically relevant if:
- in strain Salmonella typhimurium TA100 the number of reversions is at least twice as high as the reversion rate of the vehicle control
- in strain Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1535, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA the number of reversions is at least three times higher than the reversion rate of the vehicle control.
According to the guidelines, the biological relevance of the results was the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results was not regarded as necessary.
Criteria for a Negative Response:
A test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay if it produces neither a dose-related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups, with or without metabolic activation. - Key result

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Precipitate was noticed on the plates in the concentration range of 5000-500 μg/plate (±S9 Mix) following plate incorporation and pre-incubation procedures in the absence and presence of exogenous metabolic activation (±S9 Mix). The obtained precipitate did not disturb the scoring in any case. - Conclusions:
- In the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames) according to OECD guideline 471, the test item did not show mutagenic properties.
- Executive summary:
The mutagenic potential of the test item was assessed in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames) according to OECD guideline 471. Five bacterial strains were used to investigate the mutagenic potential of the test item in two independent experiments, in a plate incorporation test (experiment I, initial mutation test) and in a pre-incubation test (experiment II, confirmatory mutation test). In the initial and confirmatory mutation tests Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1537, TA1535 and TA100 strains and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA were investigated. The test item was suspended in ethanol. In the initial and confirmatory mutation tests the following concentrations were examined: ±S9 Mix: 5000, 1600, 500, 160, 50, 16 and 5 μg/plate. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation (±S9 Mix). The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicates. In the performed experiments positive and negative (vehicle) controls were run concurrently. In the performed experiments all of the validity criteria, regarding the investigated strains, negative (vehicle) and positive controls, S9 activity and number of investigated analysable concentration levels were fulfilled. No substantial increases were observed in revertant colony numbers of any of the five test strains following treatment with the test item at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 Mix) in the performed experiments. Sporadic increases in revertant colony numbers compared to the vehicle control values mostly within the actual historical control data ranges were observed in both independently performed main experiments. However, there was no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations beyond the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance in the performed experiments. In the Initial and Confirmatory Mutation Tests unequivocal inhibitory effects of the test item were not observed. The colony and background lawn development were not affected in any case. All of the obtained slight revertant colony number decreases or increases (compared to the revertant colony numbers of the vehicle control) remained within the biological variability range of the applied test system. Precipitate was noticed on the plates in the concentration range of 5000-500 μg/plate (±S9 Mix) following plate incorporation and pre-incubation procedures in the absence and presence of exogenous metabolic activation (±S9 Mix). The obtained precipitate did not disturb the scoring in any case. In the present study, apart from three precipitated concentration levels- because of the very low water solubility of the test item - it was decided to test up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate in order to confirm the absence of mutagenic potential.
The data of this mutagenicity assay show, that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by frameshift or base-pair substitution in the genome of the tester strains used. Therefore, the test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.

Additional information
In vitro (Ames test)
The mutagenic potential of the test item was assessed in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames) according to OECD guideline 471. Five bacterial strains were used to investigate the mutagenic potential of the test item in two independent experiments, in a plate incorporation test (experiment I, initial mutation test) and in a pre-incubation test (experiment II, confirmatory mutation test). In the initial and confirmatory mutation tests Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1537, TA1535 and TA100 strains and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA were investigated. The test item was suspended in ethanol. In the initial and confirmatory mutation tests the following concentrations were examined: ±S9 Mix: 5000, 1600, 500, 160, 50, 16 and 5 μg/plate. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation (±S9 Mix). The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicates. In the performed experiments positive and negative (vehicle) controls were run concurrently. In the performed experiments all of the validity criteria, regarding the investigated strains, negative (vehicle) and positive controls, S9 activity and number of investigated analysable concentration levels were fulfilled. No substantial increases were observed in revertant colony numbers of any of the five test strains following treatment with the test item at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 Mix) in the performed experiments. Sporadic increases in revertant colony numbers compared to the vehicle control values mostly within the actual historical control data ranges were observed in both independently performed main experiments. However, there was no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations beyond the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance in the performed experiments. In the Initial and Confirmatory Mutation Tests unequivocal inhibitory effects of the test item were not observed. The colony and background lawn development were not affected in any case. All of the obtained slight revertant colony number decreases or increases (compared to the revertant colony numbers of the vehicle control) remained within the biological variability range of the applied test system. Precipitate was noticed on the plates in the concentration range of 5000-500 μg/plate (±S9 Mix) following plate incorporation and pre-incubation procedures in the absence and presence of exogenous metabolic activation (±S9 Mix). The obtained precipitate did not disturb the scoring in any case. In the present study, apart from three precipitated concentration levels- because of the very low water solubility of the test item - it was decided to test up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate in order to confirm the absence of mutagenic potential.
The data of this mutagenicity assay show, that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by frameshift or base-pair substitution in the genome of the tester strains used. Therefore, the test item is considered non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. In vitro results with the test item were negative. As a result the test substance is considered not to be classified for genetic toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) No 2019/521.
