- METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Test substance added to a 10-hour bacterial culture (at least 10E9 cells/ml) prior to plating (preincubation procedure)
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Preincubation period, if applicable: 30 min at 37°C
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: plates incubated for 72 hours at 37°C
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background growth inhibition
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICITY
- revertant colonies per plate, triplicates.
METHOD OF APPLICATION: pre-incubation procedure in both assays
0.1 ml of the test article or solvent control solutions was placed into sterile test tubes containing an aliquot of 0.1 ml of a 10 hour bacterial culture and 0.5 ml S9 mix, or 0.5 ml sodium orthophosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The vial caps were sealed tightly. The vials were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes with shaking. An aliquot of 2 ml molten agar containing 0.5 mM histidine/biotin/tryptophan was added to each vial. The mixture was thoroughly shaken and poured onto plates containing 25 ml minimal agar.
Three plates were prepared per test concentration, with or without metabolic activation.
Plates were also prepared without the addition of bacteria, in order to assess the sterility of the test substance, S9 mix and sodium orthophosphate buffer.
The test plates were incubated at 37 °C for ca. 72 hours.
The tubes and plates were suitably identified.
After the incubation period, the appearance of the background bacterial lawn was examined and the revertant colonies per plate were counted using a Domino automated colony counter.
A second test was conducted with modification of the S9 fraction content of the S9 mix, increased to 30%. - Evaluation criteria:
- The test article is considered positive:
- if the increase in the number of revertant colonies is at least twice the concurrent solvent controls, with some evidence of positive dose-relationship, in 2 separate experiments, with any bacterial strain, either with or without S9 mix.
The test article is considered to produce no evidence of mutagenic activity:
- if treatment with the test substance does not produce reproducible increases of at least 1.5-times the concurrent solvent controls in either mutation test.
If the results obtained failed to satisfy the criteria for a clear "positive" or "negative" response as stated above, additional testing may be performed. Should an increase in revertant colony numbers then be observed which satisfy "positive" response, the substance is considered to show evidence of mutagenic activity in this test system.
If no clear "positive" response can be obtained, the test data may be subject to analysis to determine the statistical significance of any increases in revertant colony numbers, using usually the analysis of varia,ce followed by the Dunett's test. - Statistics:
- The mean and the standard deviation were calculated for numbers of revertants at each concentration.
No statistical analysis was conducted in this study.

- Additional information on results:
- In both tests, there was no substantial increase in the number of revertant colonies in comparison with the negative controls in any of the tester strains following exposure to the test substance at any concentration up to the limit concentration of 5000 g/plate, in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
No visible thinning of the background lawn of non-revertant cells was obtained following exposure to the test substance.
The sterility controls confirmed the absence of microbial contamination.
The mean revertants colony counts for the solvent controls were within the expected ranges.
The positive control substances induced substantial increases in the number of revertant colonies, confirming the sensitivity of the system and activity of the metabolic activation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, the test substance H GALDEN did not show any mutagenic activity in the reverse mutation assay up to the standard limit concentration of 5000 g/plate in Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 strains) and in Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA pKM101 strain), both with and without metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
To assess the potential mutagenic activity of Ethene, tetrafluoro-, oxidized, polymd., reduced, decarboxylated a reverse mutation assay was performed according to the OECD test guideline No. 471, EU Method B.13/14 and in compliance with GLP. Bacterial strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537) and Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA pKM101) were exposed to the test substance dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, at the following concentrations both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system (S9-mix).
- test 1 (which served as range finding assay): 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500, 5000 µg/plate, with and without S9.
- test 2 (repeat assay): 50, 150, 500, 1500, 5000 µg/plate with and without S9.
Both assays were conducted using the pre-incubation method. The conditions of the test procedure were modified in the confirmation assay using 30% (v/v) S9 (test 2), instead of 10% (v/v) (test 1).
There was no precipitate or visible thinning of the background lawn.
The sterility controls confirmed the absence of microbial contamination.
Acceptable responses were obtained for the negative and strain-specific positive controls indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
In both independent test, there was no substantial increase in the number of revertant colonies in comparison with the negative controls in any of the tester strains following exposure to the test substance at any concentration up to the limit concentration of 5000 g/plate, in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Based on the results of this study, it is concluded that Ethene, tetrafluoro-, oxidized, polymd., reduced, decarboxylated (H GALDEN)
is not mutagenic in the reverse mutation assay with Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli.
