- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) and preincubation; in suspension
Treatment:
- direct plate incorporation method (preliminary toxicity test, both experiments without S9 mix, first experiment with S9 mix): test substance solution (0.05 to 0.1 mL), S9 mix (0.5 mL) when required and bacterial suspension (0.1 mL) were mixed with 2 mL of overlay agar (containing traces of the relevant aminoacid and biotin and maintained at 45°C). After rapid homogenization, the mixture was overlaid onto a Petri plate containing minimum medium
- preincubation method (second experiment with S9 mix): test substance solution (0.05 to 0.1 mL), S9 mix (0.5 mL) and bacterial suspension (0.1 mL) were incubated for 60 minutes at 37°C before adding the overlay agar and pouring onto the surface of a minimum agar plate.
After 48 to 72 hours of incubation at 37°C, revertants were scored with an automatic counter.
Preliminary toxicity test:
To assess the toxicity of the test substance to the bacteria, six dose-levels (one plate/ dose-level) were tested in the TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 strains, with or without S9 mix. The sterility of the test substance was checked during this test and was found to be satisfactory.
Mutagenicity experiments:
In two independent experiments, five dose-levels of the test substance (three plates/dose-level) were tested on each strain, with or without S9 mix.
In each experiment, the following controls were included using triplicate plates:
. vehicle controls: each bacterial tester strain treated with the vehicle,
. positive controls: each bacterial tester strain treated with appropriate reference mutagens.
The sterility of the S9 mix was checked before the beginning and at the end of each experiment and was found to be satisfactory.
In each experiment, for each strain and for each experimental point, the number of revertants per plate was scored. The mean number of revertants, with the corresponding standard deviation and ratio (mutants obtained in the presence of the test substance/mutants obtained in the presence of the vehicle) were calculated. - Evaluation criteria:
- A reproducible two-fold increase in the number of revertants compared with the vehicle controls, in any strain at any dose-level and/or evidence of a dose-relationship was considered as a positive result. Reference to historical data, or other considerations of biological relevance may also be taken into account in the evaluation of the data obtained.

- RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The test substance was freely soluble in the vehicle (acetone) at 50 mg/mL, whereas it was not soluble in distilled water or in dimethylsulfoxyde.
Consequently, with a maximum dose-volume of 100 µL/plate, the dose-levels were: 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate. No precipitate was observed in the Petri plate when scoring the revertants. Without S9 mix, slight to considerable toxicity was noted at 5000 µg/plate in the TA 98 and TA 100 strains whereas with S9 mix toxicity was noted at dose-levels higher than 150 µg/plate: clearing of the bacterial lawn and/or reduction of the number of revertants.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions, the test substance showed mutagenic activity in this bacterial reverse mutation test on Salmonella typhimurium.
- Executive summary:
The test substance (in acetone as vehicle) was examined for its potential to induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium according to OECD No. 471 guideline and EC method B.14. Selection of concentrations was based on a preliminary toxicity test, thus, the selected treatment-levels were: without S9 mix: 30, 100, 300, 1000, 3000 µg/plate, with S9 mix: 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 µg/plate except for the TA 102: 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 µg/plate.
The test substance induced significant and reproducible increases in the number of revertants, with and without S9 mix, in any of the five strains, except in the TA 1535 strain with S9 mix. Under the experimental conditions, the test substance showed mutagenic activity in this bacterial reverse mutation test on Salmonella typhimurium.
