- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Sample Preparation: The test substance was dissolved in absolute ethanol to a concentration of 6 ul/ml; all dilutions were made in the same solvent. Dilutions of the test substance were made fresh each day of testing.
Dose Selection: A preliminary toxicity test was performed using strain TA100 to determine the level of toxicity of the test substance. Ten doses were tested for toxicity with a plate assay performed in the manner used for mutagenicity determinations. Toxicity was assessed at 24 to 48 hours after treatment by either growth inhibition of the background lawn or a reduction in the number of spontaneous mutants.
Testing: The test chemical was tested in triplicate at five doses chosen to span a range which included moderately toxic to relatively nontoxic concentrations. If the substance was nontoxic in the preliminary toxicity test, 50 ul of liquid or 5000 ug of solid (or up to the limit of solubility) was used as the maximum dose. Testing was performed both with and without metabolic activation. Concurrent solvent and positive controls were run in each test. - Evaluation criteria:
- The spontaneous reversion for the solvent controls must be within this laboratory's historical range. The positive controls must demonstrate that the test systems are responsive with know mutagens. A test chemical is considered a bacterial mutagen if the number of revertant colonies is at least twice the solvent control for at least one dose level and there is evidence of a dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies. If a test chemical produces a marginal or weak response that cannot be reproduced, the initial positive results loses significance. If there is no evidence of a dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies and the number of revertant colonies is not twice the solvent control, then the test chemical is not considered to be a bacterial mutagen.
- Statistics:
- Mean and standard deviations were calculated.

- Additional information on results:
- Primary amyl acetate was tested in a preliminary toxicity screen at 50, 10, 3, 1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, 0.003 and 0.001 ul per plate with strain TA100 only. Because 100 ul of the solvent ethanol was toxic in a preliminary test, the test chemical was diluted so that 50 ul of the dilution would deliver the required dose. Phosphate-buffered saline was used to bring the total volume added per tube to 100 ul. The top four doses of 50, 10, 3 and 1 ul per plate inhibited all growth of the background lawn, while the 0.3 ul dose allowed some sparse growth of the background lawn. Based on these results, mutagenicity testing was done with 5 doses of 1.0, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03 and 0.01 ul per plate in triplicate.
No evidence of mutagenicity was observed at any of the tested doses, either by evidence of a dose-response relationship or a doubling of the number of colonies over the solvent control value.
Dose selection appeared to be in a suitable range in the mutagenicity tests because some toxicity was evident in both tests. In the tests with and without metabolic activation, toxicity was observed at 1 ul/plate with all strains as a slight reduction in the number of colonies per plate.
All strains exhibited a positive mutagenic response with the positive controls tested both with and without S9 metabolic activation. Negative (solvent) controls were also tested with each strain, and the average spontaneous reversion rates were within the historical range at this laboratory. All positive and negative controls were run concurrently with the test chemical. Concurrently run sterility checks showed that the S9 mix, PBS, the test chemical and all solvents and controls were sterile - Remarks on result:

- Migrated from field 'Test system'.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
Primary Amyl Acetate was tested for potential mutagenic activity using the Salmonella/microsome bacterial mutagenicity assay (Ames test). Primary Amyl Acetate was tested in triplicate at five dose levels, ranging from 0.01 microliters to 1.0 microliter per plate. Mutagenic activity was not observed with any of the five bacterial strains tested with or without metabolic activation. Primary Amyl Acetate was not mutagenic in this screening test.
