- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: In the preliminary test cytotoxicity was noted starting at a concentration of 316 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate in both experiments. Hence, 316 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate were chosen as top concentration for the main study in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test. In the main study cytotoxicity was noted at the top concentration of 316 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate in all experiments and all test strains.
- Evaluation criteria:
- Bacteria colonies were counted employing the Biosys Biocount 5000 system. Print outs of the colony counts were filed with the raw data. Occurrence of test item precipitation was documented after visual inspection of the cultures with the unaided eye. Cytotoxicity is defined as reduction in the number of colonies by more than 50% compared to the solvent control and/or a scarce background lawn.
Acceptance Criteria:
The results of the negative and positive control cultures should be within the range of the historical data generated by LPT.
The range of spontaneous reversion frequencies per plate is based on Kirkland (1990):
TA98: 20 -60
TA100: 100 - 200
TA102: 240 - 320
TA1535: 10 -35
TA1537: 3 -20
Interpretation of results:
Where concurrent negative or positive control data fall outside the range, they may be acceptable and considered for the inclusion into the historical control distribution as long as these data are not extreme outliers.
A test item is considered to show a positive response if
- the number of revertants is significantly increased (p 0.05, U-test according to MANN and WHITNEY compared to the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and 1.5-fold of the solvent control for TA102 in both independent experiments.
- a concentration-related increase over the range tested in the number of the revertants per plate is observed. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient may be applied.
- Biological relevance of the results should be considered first.
Positive results from the bacterial reverse mutation test indicate that a substance induces point mutations by base substitutions or frameshifts in the genome of Salmonella typhimurium.
A test item for which the results do not meet the above mentioned criteria is considered as non-mutagenic in the AMES test. - Statistics:
- U-test according to MANN and WHITNEY: increased number of revertants compared to the solvent control.
The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient may be applied when a concentration-related increase over the range tested in the number of the revertants per plate is observed. - Key result

- Additional information on results:
- RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: Prior to the main test, two preliminary cytotoxicity tests (plate incorporation test, without and with metabolic activation) were carried out in test strain TA100.
Isobornyl acetate extra was examined in two preliminary cytotoxicity tests (plate incorporation test without and with metabolic activation) in test strain TA100. Ten concentrations ranging from 0.316, 1.0, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 3160 and 5000 μg/plate were tested. Cytotoxicity (scarce background lawn and reduction of the number of revertants) was noted starting at a concentration of 316 μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate in both experiments. Hence, 316 μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate were chosen as top concentration for the main study in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
- Measurement of cytotoxicity used: Cytotoxicity is evidenced by a reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants by at least 50%, a clearing or diminution of the background lawn or by the degree of survival of the treated cultures. - Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, Isobornyl acetate extra tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 316 µg/plate caused no mutagenic effect in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 neither in the plate incorporation test nor in the preincubation test each carried out without and with metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
The potential of Isobornyl acetate extra to induce gene mutations was examined in 5 Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 in two independent experiments, each carried out without and with metabolic activation (a microsomal preparation derived from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver). The first experiment was carried out as a plate incorporation test and the second as a preincubation test.
Isobornyl acetate extra was completely dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). A correction factor of 1.057 was used as the purity of the test item was only 94.6% (w/w). The vehicle DMSO served as the negative control.
Preliminary test
Isobornyl acetate extra was examined in two preliminary cytotoxicity tests (plate incorporation test without and with metabolic activation) in test strain TA100. Ten concentrations ranging from 0.316, 1.0, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 3160 and 5000μg/plate were tested. Cytotoxicity (scarce background lawn and reduction of the number of revertants) was noted starting at a concentration of 316μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate in both experiments. Hence, 316μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate were chosen as top concentration for the main study in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test.
Main study
Six concentrations 1.0, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100 and 316μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate were employed in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test, each carried out without and with metabolic activation.
Cytotoxicity
Cytotoxicity (scarce background lawn and reduction of the number of revertants) was noted at the top concentration of 316μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate in all experiments and all test strains.
Mutagenicity
No increase in revertant colony numbers as compared with control counts was observed for Isobornyl acetate extra, tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 316μg/plate, in any of the 5 test strains in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation, respectively (plate incorporation test and preincubation test).
The positive control items showed a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies of the respective test strain and confirmed the validity of the test conditions and the sensitivity of the test system. The results of the negative and positive control cultures are within the historical control range generated by LPT. Hence, all acceptance criteria are met.
In conclusion, under the present test conditions, isobornyl acetate extra tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 316 µg/plate caused no mutagenic effect in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 neither in the plate incorporation test nor in the preincubation test each carried out without and with metabolic activation.

- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity:
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY - Evaluation criteria:
- Acceptance of a test is based on the following criteria:
- The concurrent negative control is considered acceptable for addition to the laboratory historical negative control database.
- Concurrent positive controls induce responses that are compatible with those generated in the historical positive control data base and produce a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control.
- Four tested concentrations are analysable.
The spontaneous mutation frequency may vary from experiment to experiment, but should normally lie within the historical background data obtained at LPT.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered to be clearly positive if, in any of the experimental conditions examined:
- at least one of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
- the increase is concentration-related when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
- any of the results are outside the distribution of the historical negative control data.
When all of these criteria are met, the test chemical is then considered able to induce gene mutations in cultured mammalian cells in this test system.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered clearly negative if, in all experimental conditions examined:
- none of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
- there is no concentration-related increase when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
- all results are inside the distribution of the historical negative control data.
The test chemical is then considered unable to induce gene mutations in cultured mammalian cells in this test system. - Key result

- Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, Isobornyl acetate extra tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 200 µg/mL medium, in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation was negative in the HPRT-V79 mammalian cell mutagenicity test under conditions where positive controls exerted potent mutagenic effects.
- Executive summary:
Isobornyl acetate extra was tested for its mutagenic potential in a gene mutation assay in cultured mammalian cells (V79, genetic marker HPRT) both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix) from Aroclor 1254-induced animals. The duration of the exposure with the test item was 4 hours in the experiments without and with S9 mix.
Isobornyl acetate extra was completely dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. A correction factor of 1.057 was used due to the purity of the test item of 94.6% (w/w) only. The vehicle dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was employed as the negative control.
Preliminary cytotoxicity test
The concentrations to be employed in the main experiment were chosen based on the results of a preliminary cytotoxicity study without and with metabolic activation with concentrations of 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000 and 2000 µg/mL medium. In this preliminary test pronounced to complete cytotoxicity in form of decreased relative survival compared to the control were noted starting at concentrations of 100 or 316 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL medium in the absence or presence of metabolic activation. No relevant changes in pH or osmolality were noted in the test cultures compared to the negative control treated with DMSO. Hence, 200 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL medium was employed as highest concentration for the genotoxicity tests without and with metabolic activation.
Main study
Concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL medium were selected for the mutagenicity experiments with or without metabolic activation. The experiments with and without metabolic activation were conducted in duplicates.
Cytotoxicity
Cytotoxicity in form of decreased relative survival compared to the control was noted starting at 50 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL medium in the first experiment and at the top concentration of 200 µg/mL medium in the second experiment without metabolic activation. In the presence of metabolic activation cytotoxicity in form of decreased relative survival compared to the control was noted starting at 100 µg/mL medium in the first experiment and at the top concentration of 200 µg/mL medium in the in the second experiment.
Mutagenicity
Experiments without metabolic activation
The mutation frequency of the solvent control DMSO was 24.67 and 23.85 mutant colonies per 106 cells, for the 1st and the 2nd experiment, respectively. Hence, the solvent controls were well within the expected range.
The mutation frequency of the cultures treated with concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL culture medium ranged from 2.67 to 27.53 mutant colonies per 106 cells. These results are within the normal range of the solvent controls.
Experiments with metabolic activation
The mutation frequency of the solvent control DMSO was 24.40 and 31.50 mutant colonies per 106 cells, for the 1st and the 2nd experiment, respectively. Hence, the solvent controls were well within the expected range.
The mutation frequency of the cultures treated with concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL culture medium ranged from 4.39 to 34.94 mutant colonies per 106 cells. These results are within the normal range of the solvent controls.
The positive controls in the direct test EMS (ethyl methanesulfonate) and DMBA (9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene), a compound which requires metabolic activation, caused a pronounced increase in the mutation frequencies ranging from 261.89 to 419.90 mutant colonies per 106cells in the case of EMS and ranging from 187.20 to 245.30 mutant colonies per 106 cells in the case of DMBA, indicating the validity of this test system.
The background mutation frequency at LPT ranges from 1.6 to 44.3 mutant colonies per 106 cells without metabolic activation or 2.3 to 40.7 mutant colonies per 106cells with metabolic activationf or the solvent controls. The mutation frequency of the positive controls at LPT ranges from 159.4 to 703.4 mutant colonies per 106 cells for EMS and from 155.7 to 711.8 mutant colonies per 106 cells for DMBA .
Conclusion
Under the present test conditions, Isobornyl acetate extra tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 200 µg/mL medium, in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation was negative in the HPRT-V79 mammalian cell mutagenicity test under conditions where positive controls exerted potent mutagenic effects.

- Interpretation of results: negative
Isobornyl acetate was non mutagenic. - Executive summary:
Isobornylacetat - Extra was tested in the micronucleus test, according to OECD guideline 474. The test compound was administered orally by gavage to male and female mice. The following doses were tested: 0 and 2000 mg Isobornylacetat - Extra per kg bodyweight.
The 2000 mg per kg bodyweight dose level was chosen since a preliminary study had shown it to be the maximum non lethal dose.
The animals were treated once with the test compound and according to the test procedure the animals were killed 24, 48 or 72 hours after administration of the test compound.
Cyclophosphamide was used as positive control substance and was administered orally at a dose of 50 mg per kg bodyweight.
The number of polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes containing micronuclei was not increased. The ratio of polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocytes in both male and female animals remained unaffected by the treatment with Isobornylacetat - Extra and was statistically not different from the control values.
Cyclophosphamide induced in both males and females a marked statistically significant increase in the number of polychromatic cells with micronuclei, indicating the sensitivity of the system. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes was not changed to a significant extent.
The results indicate that, under the conditions of the present study, Isobornylacetat - Extra is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test.

Key studies:
Ames reverse bacterial mutagenicity study (2019): the potential of Isobornyl acetate extra to induce gene mutations was examined in 5 Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 without and with metabolic activation as a plate incorporation and preincubation test.Six concentrations 1.0, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100 and 316μg Isobornyl acetate extra/plate were tested. No increase in revertant colony numbers as compared with control counts was observed for Isobornyl acetate extra, tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 316μg/plate.
Forward mammalian gene mutagenicity study (2019): Isobornyl acetate extra was tested for its mutagenic potential in cultured mammalian cells (V79, genetic marker HPRT) both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. The duration of the exposure with the test item was 4 hours in the experiments without and with S9 mix.The concentrations were chosen based on the results of a preliminary cytotoxicity study. Concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL medium were selected for the mutagenicity experiments with or without metabolic activation. Cytotoxicity in form of decreased relative survival compared to the control was noted starting at 50 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL medium in the first experiment and at the top concentration of 200 µg/mL medium in the second experiment without metabolic activation. In the presence of metabolic activation cytotoxicity in form of decreased relative survival compared to the control was noted starting at 100 µg/mL medium in the first experiment and at the top concentration of 200 µg/mL medium in the in the second experiment. The mutation frequency of the cultures treated with concentrations of 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 µg Isobornyl acetate extra/mL with and without metabolic activation were within the normal range of the solvent controls. In conclusion, Isobornyl acetate extra tested up to the cytotoxic concentration of 200 µg/mL medium, in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation was negative in the HPRT-V79 mammalian cell mutagenicity test.
Isobornylacetate extra was tested in the micronucleus test, by oral gavage in male and female mice at 0 and 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were treated once and killed 24, 48 or 72 hours after administration. The number of polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes containing micronuclei was not increased. The ratio of polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocytes in both male and female animals remained unaffected by the treatment with Isobornylacetat - Extra and was statistically not different from the control values. The results indicate that, under the conditions of the present study, Isobornylacetate extra is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test
