- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar plate incorporation; pre-incubation
DURATION:
Preincubation period: 60 Minutes
exposure duration: 72 hours
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates for each concentration including the controls
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: Evident as a reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants (below the induction factor of 0.5) or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants of twofold or above (strains TA 98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA) or threefold or above (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the spontaneous mutation rate of the corresponding solvent control is observed.
A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is reached or exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase of revertant colonies equal or above the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant. - Statistics:
- According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

Effects of pH: none
Water solubility: Not soluble
Precipitation: The test item precipitated in the overlay agar in the test tubes from 100 to 5000 µg/plate in experiment I and from 333 to 5000 µg/plate in experiment II, both with and without S9 mix. Precipitation of the test item in the overlay agar on the incubated agar plates was observed in experiment I from 333 to 5000 µg/plate without S9 mix and from 1000 to 5000 µg/plate with S9 mix and in experiment II from 1000 to 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix. The undissolved particles had no influence on the data recording.
Other confounding effects: None
COMPARISON WIT HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: Performed, no deviations

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used. Therefore, the test material is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
The test material was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100, and the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA.
The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration and the controls were tested in triplicate. The test item was tested at the following concentrations:
Pre-Experiment/Experiment I: 3; 10; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 µg/plate
Experiment II: 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 µg/plate
The test item precipitated in the overlay agar in the test tubes from 100 to 5000 µg/plate in experiment I and from 333 to 5000 µg/plate in experiment II, both with and without S9 mix. Precipitation of the test item in the overlay agar on the incubated agar plates was observed in experiment I from 333 to 5000 µg/plate without S9 mix and from 1000 to 5000 µg/plate with S9 mix and in experiment II from 1000 to 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix. The undissolved particles had no influence on the data recording.
The plates incubated with the test item showed normal background growth up to 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix in all strains used.
No toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in the test groups with and without metabolic activation.
No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains was observed following treatment with the test material at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.
Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls. They showed a distinct increase in induced revertant colonies.
