Additional information on results:

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Globular precipitation observed at and above 1500ug/plate but this did not prevent scoring of revertant colonies.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: Using E coli and TA100 at 10 doses up to 5000ug/plate. Negative

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: All doses and controls within historic control ranges.

Remarks on result:

other: all strains/cell types tested

Remarks:

Migrated from field 'Test system'.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In experiment 1, the 1500ug/plate dose with TA100 showed statistically significantly raised reversion rates compared to the concurrent solvent control in a single replicate. Since this was not repeated in either of the other two replicates or in experiment 2 and was within historic control ranges, it was regarded as random and not of biological significance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

The substance is not mutagenic in bacteria.

Executive summary:

In a guideline GLP Ames study, the substance did not produce toxicologically significant elevated counts of revertant colonies in any of the five bacterial strains tested (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and WP2uvra-) at doses up to 5000ug/plate, with and without S9 metabolic activation. At levels of 1500ug/plate and above there was evidence that the solubility limit had been exceeded in the system. All positive controls responded as expected.

Synopsis:
