Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test material

Method

Target gene:
his operon (for S. typhimurium) and trp operon (for E. coli)
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A pKM 101
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male SD rats treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
First experiment: 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation
Second experiment: 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test material was not sufficiently soluble in distilled water
Controls

yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
no
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
9-aminoacridine
2-nitrofluorene
sodium azide
benzo(a)pyrene
other: 2-Aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation assay); pre-incubation.

DURATION
- Preincubation period: when used during the second test: at 37 °C for 30 mins with shaking
- Exposure duration: 37 °C for 72 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Method inspection of the background bacterial lawn
Rationale for test conditions:
The test material caused no reduction in the growth of the background bacterial lawn at any dose level. The test material therefore, was tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate
Evaluation criteria:
If exposure to a test substance produces a reproducible increase in revertant colony numbers of at least twice (three times in the case of strains TA1535 and TA1537) the concurrent vehicle controls, with some evidence of a positive dose-response relationship, it is considered to exhibit mutagenic activity in this system. No statistical analysis is performed.
If exposure to a test substance does not produce a reproducible increase in revertant colony numbers, it is considered to show no evidence of mutagenic activity in this system. No statistical analysis is performed.
If the results obtained fail to satisfy the criteria for a clear "positive" or "negative' response, even after the additional testing, the test data may be subjected to analysis to determine the statistical significance of any increases in revertant colony numbers. The statistical analyses used are those described by Mahon et al (1989) and are usually followed by Dunnett's test, then if appropriate, by trend analysis. Biological importance should always be considered along with statistical significance. In general, treatment-associated increases in revertant colony numbers below two or three times the vehicle controls (as described above) are not considered biologically important.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviation were calculated.
