Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) (range-finding study (Experiment 1) and main experiment (Experiment 2))

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates (experiment I), duplicate (experiment I)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: revertant colony number and microscopical inspection of the bacterial background lawn

The results of both experiments (exp.1 and 2) were used for determining the mutagenic properties of the test substance.

Evaluation criteria:

Results are judged as positive if the number of colony increases with dose-response and reaches 2 times that of the control, or if there is statistically significant increase in the number of colonies in any of the tester strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test item was mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay.

Executive summary:

The test item was tested for its mutagenic potential in bacterial cells according to OECD 471 with four Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98). The following doses were tested:

experiment I: 0, 8, 40, 200, 1000, 5000 µg/plate

experiment II: 6.9,20.6, 61.7, 185.2, 555.6, 1666.7 µg/plate

In the presence of S9-mix, there was significant increase in the number of revertants in strain TA 1537, which reached up to 8 times that of the control and was reproducible. Therefore the test item was considered to be mutagenic in bacterial cells.
