Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium; in agar (plate incorporation)DURATION:- Exposure duration: 48 hoursNUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:- Doses of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain. Two independent experiments were conducted.NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 10E8 per plateDETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY- Method: Reduction of the bacterial background lawn, increase in the size of the microcolonies and reduction of the revertant colonies.OTHER EXAMINATIONS:- The presence of precipitation of the test substance on the plates was determined.

Evaluation criteria:

A test substance was considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:- The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 was not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA 1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA was not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.- The negative response should have been reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.A test substance was considered positive if:- A two-fold (TA100) or more or a three-fold (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, WP2uvrA) or more increase above solvent control in the mean number of revertant colonies was observed in the test substance group.- When a positive response was observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should have been reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the mutagenic potential of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 471 and EU Method B.13/14.

Tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 of Salmonella typhimurium strain and WP2uvrA of Escherichia coli in the presence and absence of S9 were exposed to the test substance. The assay was performed in two phases, using the plate incorporation method. The first phase, the initial toxicity-mutation assay, was used to established the dose-range for the confirmatory mutagenicity assay and to provide a preliminary mutagenicity evaluation. The second phase, the confirmatory mutagenicity assay, was used to evaluated and confirm the mutagenic potential of the test substance.

DMSO was selected as the solvent based on its solubility of the test substance and compatibility with the target cells. In the initial toxicity-mutation assay, the dose levels tested were 3; 10; 33; 100; 333; 1,000; 3,330 and 5,000 µg/plate. In the main study, the dose levels tested were 100; 333; 1,000; 3,330 and 5,000 µg/plate.

The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

Under the test conditions, the test substance was found to be non-mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
