STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Room temperature (ambient), in orginial container as supplied by the Sponsor. Stored after a brief sweep with Nitrogen gas in a sealed bottle.
- Stability under test conditions: Assumed stable for the duration of the test.
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: In DMSO, the test item was soluble after 40 minutes sonication with heating (between 35 to 45°C), however this formulation crystalized when at room temperature. The test item was therefore maintained at a temperature between 35 to 45°C so the test item would remain soluble in the vehicle throughout its use in this test system.
- Reactivity of the test substance with the solvent/vehicle of the cell culture medium: The test item in the vehicle (DMSO) crystallised when at room temperature, however as the test item stock was maintained at a temperature between 35 to 45°C within in this test system, the use of the vehicle was considered to have had no adverse affect on the study.
TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: Prepared as a solution in DMSO (after sonication at heating between 35 to 45°C). The formulation was thereafter maintained at a temperature between 35 to 45°C throughout the study.
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
- Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
- not applicable
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Type and composition of metabolic activation system: S9 fraction procured from Dr. G.P Meshram, Nagpur, and (Lot N ° MWR/ARI/S9F/01/18) was used in this study.
Composition of Co-factor Mix and S9 Mix:
Co-factor Mix
D- Glucose –6- phosphate : 0.80 g
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide
Phosphate (NADP) : 1.75 g
Magnesium chloride : 0.90 g
Potassium chloride : 1.35 g
Sodium phosphate, dibasic: 6.40 g
Sodium phosphate, monobasic: 1.40 g
Distilled water : 450 mL
The prepared co-factor mix was dispensed into suitable volumes and stored below 0 °C.
S9 Mix (10 mL)
Constituent 5% v/v S9 mix (10 mL) 10% v/v S9 mix (10 mL)
Co-factor mix 9.5 mL 9.0 mL
S9 fraction 0.5 mL 1.0 mL
The S9 mix was prepared fresh by adding the required quantity of S9 fraction to thawed co-factors and maintained in an ice bath. Any remaining portions of S9 mix were discarded.
- source of S9 : S9 fraction (Aroclor 1254-induced (Analab, USA) 500 mg/kg bw) was procured from Dr. G.P Meshram, Nagpur, and (Lot N ° MWR/ARI/S9F/01/18) was used in this study.
- method of preparation of S9 mix: The S9 fraction is buffered and supplemented with the essential co-factors β-NADP and Glucose-6-phosphate to form “S9 mix”. This mix was then added to the top agar in this activated assay.
- concentration or volume of S9 mix and S9 in the final culture medium: A volume of 0.1 mL of S9 mix (5% v/v S9 mix for the initial toxicity-mutation test and 10% v/v S9 mix for the confirmatory mutation test) was prepared for treatment and added aseptically to 2 mL of top agar, mixed well and poured onto MGA plates.
- quality controls of S9 (e.g., enzymatic activity, sterility, metabolic capability). yes, an efficiency check report (as a CoA) was issued from the vendor for the batch used in this study. This confirmed acceptable metabolic activation of this batch to tester strians prior to use on this study. - Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Initial toxicity mutation test concentrations:
All strains, TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 and TA102 (+/- S9 mix, 5% v/v S9 mix): 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/ plate.
As the test item crystalized at room temperature in DMSO, the test item stock (50000 µg/mL) was maintained at a temperature between 35 to 45°C so the test item would remain soluble. Once treated, cultures were incubated at 37 ± 1°C.
In the initial toxicity mutation test the OECD 471 limit concentration of 5000 µg/plate was acheived based on solubility in DMSO. Normal growth was observed up to the guideline limit concentration of 5000 µg/plate in tester strain TA100 in the absence of metabolic activation, and in tester strain TA102 in the absence and presence of metabolic activation (5% v/v S9 mix); with partial and complete inhibition and up to 50 µg/plate in tester strains TA1537, TA1535 and TA98 in the absence of metabolic activation and up to 150 µg/plate in tester strains TA1537, TA1535, TA98, and TA100 in the presence of metabolic activation (5% v/v S9 mix).
No increase in the number of revertant colonies was observed either in the absence or presence of metabolic activation (5% v/v S9 mix) at any tested concentration, in any tester strain. Results revealed that there was no mutagenic effect in tester strains TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 and TA102.
Based on these observations the below concentrations were selected for the confirmatory mutation test:
TA100 (-S9, 10% v/v S9 mix): 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/ plate.
TA102 (+/-S9, 10% v/v S9 mix): 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 500 µg/ plate.
TA1537, TA1535 and TA98 (-S9, 10% v/v S9 mix): 3.91, 7.81, 15.63, 31.25, 62.5 and 125 µg/ plate.
TA1537, TA1535, TA98 and TA100 (+S9, 10% v/v S9 mix): 15.63, 31.25, 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µg/ plate. - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO for the test item.
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: DMSO was selected as the vehicle for the study. The test item crystalized at room temperature in DMSO, therefore to maintain test item solubility the test item stock was maintained at a temperature between 35 to 45°C. DMSO was therefore selected as the vehicle for the study. Once treated, cultures were incubated at 37 ± 1°C under standard test conditions.
- Justification for percentage of solvent in the final culture medium: 5% v/v (0.1 mL of DMSO, used as vehicle was added aseptically to 2 mL of top agar, mixed well and poured onto MGA plates). - Untreated negative controls:
- no
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- True negative controls:
- not specified
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- 9-aminoacridine
- 2-nitrofluorene
- sodium azide
- mitomycin C
- other: 2-Aminoanthracene
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration: Duplicate in the initial toxicity mutation test, Triplicate in the main confirmatory mutation assay
- Number of independent experiments : Two
METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): Cell densities (OD at 660 nm) of all tester strains were within the required range to produce cultures with approximately 1 - 2 x 109 bacteria/mL, demonstrating that appropriate numbers of bacteria were plated.
- Test substance added in medium; Treatments were performed using the plate incorporation technique.
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Preincubation period, if applicable: None
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: Plates were maintained in triplicate for each test item concentration, negative and positive controls. The numbers of revertant colonies were recorded after 48 h incubation at 37 ± 1 ºC.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, Cytotoxicity is detectable as decrease in the number of revertant colonies per plate and/or by a thinning of the bacterial background lawn (Teo et al., 2003).
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: In the initial toxicity mutation test, partial and complete inhibition in bacterial background lawn pattern with a reduction in the number of revertant colonies was observed at the higher tested concentrations in some tester strains.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY : A result was considered positive if a concentration-related increase over the range tested and/or a reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies per plate at one or more test concentration in at least one strain in the absence or presence of metabolic activation was observed.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A result is considered positive if concentration-related increase over the range tested and/or a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations in the number of revertant colonies per plate in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation system.
- Statistics:
- A simple linear regression analysis was performed for strains: TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 and TA102, separately, to assess the dose dependent nature of any increase in revertant colonies.
