- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
MUTATION ASSAY:
Five different doses of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain.
The test substance was tested both in the absence and presence of S9-mix in each strain.
Top agar in top agar tubes is melted and heated to 45 °C. The following solutions are successively added to 3 mL of top agar: 0.1 mL of a fresh bacterial culture (109 cells/mL) of one of the tester strains, 0.1 mL of a dilution of the test substance in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) of spectroscopic quality (Merck), and in the case of activation assays 0.5 mL of S9-mix. The ingredients are mixed on a Vortex and the contents of the top agar tube are poured onto a selective agar plate. After solidification of the top agar, the plates are turned and incubated in the dark at 37 °C for 48h. After this period revertant colonies (histidine independent) are counted automatically with an Artek model 880 colony counter or manually.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The percentage survival of the TA 100 culture is determined by comparing the number of colonies on the solvent control plate with those on the plates containing the test substance. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the Ames test if:
a) The total number of revertants in any tester strain at any concentration is not greater than two times the solvent control value, with or without metabolic activation.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the Ames test if:
a) It induces at least a 2-fold, dose related increase in the number of revertants with respect to the number induced by the solvent control in any of the tester strains, either with or without metabolic activation. However, any mean plate count of less than 20 is considered to be not significant. If the test substance shows in the first test only a positive response at one or two concentrations, the assay is repeated with doses just below and exceeding those showing positive effects in the first test.
b) The positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study, the test substance can be considered as non mutagenic in the Ames Salmonella/microsome assay.
- Executive summary:
The test item was tested in the Ames Salmonella/microsome test up to 5000 µg/plate. The test substance induced no dose-related increase in the numbers of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the five tester strains (TA1535; TA1537; TA1538; TA98 and TA100). These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment. The test substance can, therefore, be considered as nonmutagenic in this test system.
