Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

The test item concentrations to be applied in the main experiments were chosen according to the results of the pre-experiment (see chapter 12.1 Pre-Experiment). 5000 µg/plate was selected as the maximum concentration. The concentration range
covered two logarithmic decades. Two independent experiments were performed with the following concentrations: Experiment I: 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100,316, 1000,2500 and 5000 µg/plate (all tester strains except TA 100 without metabolic activation)
0.100,0.316, 1.00,3.16, 10.0,31.6, 100,316, 1000and 2500 µg/plate (only TA 100 without metabolic activation) Experiment II: 8, 25, 70, 200, 600, 1000, 1800 and 5000 llg/plate (all tester strains except TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation) 0.25, 0.8, 2.5, 8, 25, 70, 200, 600, 1000 and 1800 µg/plate (only TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation). As the results of the pre-experiment TA 98 with and without metabolic activation and TA 100 with metabolic activation were in accordance with the criteria described above, these were reported as a part of the main experiment I.

The test item was dissolved in EtOH and diluted prior to treatment. The solvent was compatible with the survival ofthe bacteria and the S9 activity.

The test item 1, 1 0-Dichlorodecane was investigated for its potential to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test ( experiment I and II) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 102. In two independent experiments several concentrations of the test item were used. Bach assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation. The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate. The following concentrations of the test item were prepared and used in the experiments: Experiment 1: 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100,316, 1000,2500 and 5000 µg/plate (all tester strains except TA 100 without metabolic activation) 0.100, 0.316, 1.00, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100,316, 1000 and 2500 µg/plate (only TA 100 without metabolic activation) Experiment II: 8, 25, 70, 200, 600, 1000, 1800 and 5000 µg/plate (all tested strains except TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation) 0.25, 0.8, 2.5, 8, 25, 70, 200, 600, 1000 and 1800 µg/plate (only TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation). No precipitation of the test item was observed in any tester strain used in experiment I and II (with and without metabolic activation). Toxic effects of the test item were noted in four of five tester strains evaluated in experiment I and II. In experiment I toxic effects of the test item were observed in tester strain TA 98 at concentrations of 31.6 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation). In tested strain TA 100 toxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of 10 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of 100 µg/plate (with metabolic activation) and higher. In tester strain TA 1535 toxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of 2500 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of 316 µg/plate (with metabolic activation). In tester strain TA 153 7 toxic effects of the test item were observed at concentrations of 316 µg/plate and higher (with and without metabolic activation). In experiment II toxic effects of the test item were noted in tester strain TA 98 at concentrations of 70 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation). In tester strain TA 100 toxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of 25 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of 200 µg/plate and higher (with metabolic activation). In tester strain TA 1535 toxic effects ofthe test item were noted at concentrations of 70 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of 200 µg/plate and higher (with metabolic activation). In tester strain TA 1537 toxic effects of the test item were observed at concentrations of 70 µg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of 600 µg/plate and higher (with metabolic activation). No biologically relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with 1,10-Dichlorodecane at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation in experiment I and II. The reference mutagens induced a distinct increase of revetiant colonies indicating the validity ofthe experiments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the
experimental conditions reported, 1,1 0-Dichlorodecane did not cause gene mutations by
base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the tester strains used.
Therefore, 1,1 0-Dichlorodecane is considered to be non-mutagenic in this bacterial
reverse mutation assay

Executive summary:

Summary Results

In order to investigate the potential of 1,10-Dichlorodecane for its ability to induce gene

mutations the plate incorporation test ( experiment I and II) was performed with the

Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 102.

In two independent experiments several concentrations of the test item were used. Bach

assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation. The concentrations,

including the controls, were tested in triplicate. The following concentrations of the test

item were prepared and used in the experiments:

Experiment 1:

3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000,2500 and 5000 f.tg/plate

(all tester strains except TA 100 without metabolic activation)

0.100, 0.316, 1.00, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000 and 2500 f.tg/plate

( only TA 100 without metabolic activation)

Experiment II:

8, 25, 70, 200, 600, 1000, 1800 and 5000 f.tg/plate

(all tester strains except TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation)

0.25, 0.8, 2.5, 8, 25, 70,200,600, 1000 and 1800 f.tg/plate

( only TA 98 and TA 100 without metabolic activation)

No precipitation of the test item was observed in all tester strains used in experiment I

and II (with and without metabolic activation).

Toxic effects of the test item were noted in four tester strains used in experiment I

and II:

• In experiment I toxic effects of the test item were observed at concentrations of

10.0 f.tg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of

100 f.tg/plate and higher (with metabolic activation), depending on the particular

tester strain.

• In experiment II toxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of

25 f.tg/plate and higher (without metabolic activation) and at concentrations of

200 f.tg/plate and higher (with metabolic activation), depending on the particular

tester strain.

No biologically relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester

strains were observed following treatment with 1,10-Dichlorodecane at any

concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation in

experiment I and II.

The reference mutagens induced a distinct increase of revertant colonies indicating the

validity of the experiments.
