Conclusions:

Interpretation of results :
negative with and without

The test compound 3'-hydroxyacetophenone is not mutagenic in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 strains TA 98, TA 100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as gene mutant in vitro.

Executive summary:

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of the test compound 3'-hydroxyacetophenone.

 

The test material was dissolved in dimethsulphoxide (vehicle control) and applied at a concentration of 3 µmole/plate in the spot test performed.

 

3'-hydroxyacetophenone did not induce reversion of mutant strains and hence is not mutagenic in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 strains TA 98, TA 100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as gene mutant in vitro.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Gene mutation in vitro:

Various peer reviewed publications for the test chemical 3'-hydroxyacetophenone were reviewed to determine its mutagenic nature and are summarized as below

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Florins et al (1980) to determine the mutagenic nature of the test compound 3'-hydroxyacetophenone. The test material was dissolved in dimethsulphoxide and applied at a concentration of 3 µmole/plate in the spot test performed. 3'-hydroxyacetophenone did not induce reversion of mutant strains and hence is not mutagenic in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 strains TA 98, TA 100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as gene mutant in vitro.

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Rapson et al (1980) to determine the mutagenic nature of the test compound 3'-hydroxyacetophenone at dose levels of 0.1, 1, 10, 100 or 1000 µg/plate. The study was performed as part of mutagenicity produced by aqueous chlorination of organic compounds. 3'-hydroxyacetophenone did not induce reversion of mutant strains without chlorination and hence is not mutagenic in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 and hence is not likely to classify as gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the available data summarized, the test chemical 3'-hydroxyacetophenone is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data summarized, the test chemical 3'-hydroxyacetophenone is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
