Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1 Test item concentrations: 5000, 1500, 500, 150, 50 µg/plate
Experiment 1b Test item concentrations: 5000, 1500, 500, 150, 50 µg/plate
Experiment 2 Test item concentrations: 5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 313, 156, 78 µg/plate

On the day of the start of the first experiment, a stock solution containing 50 g/L of the test item in DMSO was prepared.
The stock solution was used to prepare the geometric series of the concentrations to be tested. The following nominal test item concentrations were prepared for experiment 1:
5000, 1500, 500, 150 and 50 µg/plate.

On the day of the start of the second experiment, a stock solution containing 50 g/L of the test item in DMSO was prepared.
The following nominal test item concentrations were prepared for experiment 2:
5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 313,156, 78 µg/plate.

6.2.2 Origin and Culture
All Salmonella typhimurium strains were obtained from Trinova BioChem GmbH (batch: TA98: 5465D, TA100: 5439D, TA102: 5420D, TA1535: 5484D, TA1537: 5450D) and were stored as lyophilizates in the refrigerator at 2 – 8 °C.

On the day before the start of each experiment, a nutrient broth (Oxoid nutrient broth no. 2) was inoculated with one lyophilizate per strain at 3:30 pm (exp. 1) and 3:20 pm (exp. 1b and 2).
These overnight cultures were placed in the heating chamber at 37 ± 1 °C for 16 hours and 30 min. (exp. 1) and 16 hours and 40 min. (exp. 1b and 2).
For the last two hours the overnight cultures were shaken on an orbital shaker (150 rpm) at 37 ± 1 °C.
Afterwards, the overnight cultures were ready for use in the experiment.
During the test, the overnight cultures were stored at room temperature (20 ± 5 °C) to prevent changes in the titre.

Any other information on results incl. tables

For TA102, the experiment 1 was invalid, since the spontaneous revertants were higher than historical control data and the f(I) values of the positive controls were not > 2 in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.

The experiment was repeated for TA102 as experiment 1b and was valid.

The test item showed no precipitates andno signs of toxicity towards the bacteria strainson the plates at any of the concentrationsin boththe presence and the absence of metabolic activation in all evaluated experiments.

The results of all experiments showed that none of the tested concentrations showed a significant increase or dose-related increase in the number of revertants in all tested strains, in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation.

 

Based on the results of this study it is concluded thatGlycerol tribenzoate (GTB)is not mutagenic in theSalmonella typhimuriumstrains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 in the presence and absence of metabolic activation under the experimental conditions in this study.
