Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
2,6-Dichlorobenzoxazol was tested for mutagenicity in two standard plate incorporation tests and in one preincubation test (each in the absence and in the presence of a metabolizing system) under GLP and according to OECD TG 471. In the main plate incorporation test, the substance was tested in bacteria strains TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 98 of S. thyphimurium and with E. Coli WP2uvrA at concentrations of 50, 160, 500, 1600 and 5000 μg/plate. Because of toxicity in the main plate incorporation test dose levels of 1.6, 5, 16, 50, 160 and 500 μg/plate (S. typhimurium tester strains) and dose levels of 5, 16, 50, 160, 500 and 1600 μg/plate
(E. Coli WP2 uvrA) were chosen for the second plate incorporation test and the main preincubation test. For the repeat preincubation test dose levels from 1.6 to 500 μg/plate were chosen in the absence of metabolic activation with the tester strain WP2 uvrA. Control plates without mutagen showed that the number of spontaneous revertant colonies was within the laboratory’s historical control range. All the positive controls showed the expected increase in the number of revertant colonies. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background. In conclusion it can be stated that 2,6-Dichlorobenzoxazol is not mutagenic in this bacterial mutation test at any dose level either in the absence or presence of an exogenous metabolic activation system.
