Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

Gene toxicity in vitro:

The study results for read-across substance (CAS: 483-20-5) are used for toxicity to TA1535,TA 1537. Since the read-across is a major component of the target Aluminium lake substance, the inference can be drawn using the information for the major component. 

On the basis of prediction using QSAR Toolbox by SSS (2016), in vitro gene toxicity of FD and C blue no.2 was estimated to be non mutagenic in bacterial reverse mutation assay.

Peer reviewed articles were reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of the similar substance, C.I. Acid blue 74 (CAS no 860-22-0). The studies are summarized as below:

Genetic toxicity test was performed by T.P. Cameron et al, 1987 for Standard Plate-incorporation on S typhimurium(Strain TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100). All strain was tested at dose 3333, 1000, 6666 and 10000 µg/plate both with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor 1254-induced male Fischer). Positive control and solvent control are used. There is no dose-related increase in the number of revertants above spontaneous solvent controls, with a 2-fold increase for strains TA1535, TA1538, TA98 and TA100, and a 3-fold increase for TA1537.Hence, the substance C.I. Acid blue 74is considered to be not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100 with and without metabolic activation.

Mutagenicity testing of C.I. Acid blue 74, performed by T.P. Cameron et al, 1987 by using the FMN preincubation modification of the Salmonella assay. Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 and TA100 was exposed to C.I. Acid blue 74 at 33, 100, 333, 1000 and 3333 µg/plate. For metabolic activation Hamster liver $9 (30% V/V), plus cofactors (FMN, NADH, G6PD, G6P) was used and Trypan blue (228 /µg/plate) used as a positive control substance. No positive mutagenic response obtained at any tested concentration. Hence, the substance is considered to be not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 and TA100 with metabolic activation.

C.I. Acid blue 74 tested for mutagenicity, performed by T.P. Cameron et al, 1987, in mouse lymphoma TK⁺′⁻assay toxicity of test chemical was determined both with and without S9 prepared from Aroclor-1254-induced male Fischer 344 rats. L5178Y TK +/- mouse lymphoma cells was exposed to Without S9: 971, 971, 1229, 1229, 1486, 1486, 1743, 1743, 2000 and 2000 µg/ml and positive control is Ethyl methanesulfonate at 0.5 µl/ml. With S9: 92, 206, 332, 439, 439, 556 and 556 µg/ml concentration of test chemical and positive control is 3-methylcholanthrene at 5.0 or 10.0 µg/ml. There was no dose-related increase in the mutant frequency above the spontaneous control frequency, no 2-fold increase at more than 1 dose and not relative total growth greater than 10% at any exposed concentration.Hence, the substance is considered to be not mutagenic inL5178Y TK +/- mouse lymphoma cells with and without metabolic activation.

Mutagenicity of FD&C Blue no. 2 was determined by the Angela E. Auletta et al. 1977 with Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100. All strain was tested at dose 1, 10, 100, 1000 and 10000 µg/plate both with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor 1254-induced male Fischer). Positive control and solvent control was used. There is no dose-related increase in the number of revertants colonies per plate either with or without metabolic activation with either of these strains. Therefore, the substance FD&C Blue no. 2is considered to be not mutagenic inSalmonella typhimuriumstrain TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100 with and without metabolic activation.

Reverse mutation assay was of Food blue 2 (Indigo carmine) y the M. ISHIDATE et al 1984, carried out usingS. typhimuriumstrains TA92, TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA94 and TA98 by method of Ames, McCann & Yamasaki (1975). Duplicate plates were used for each of six different concentrations of the sample. All strain was tested at dose 3333, 1000, 6666 and 10000 µg/plate both with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor 1254-induced male Fischer). All trains were exposed to six different concentrations of the chemical having 5000 µg/plate (5 mg/plate) is highest concentration. No significant increases in the number of revertant colonies were detected in any S. typhimurium strains at the maximum dose.  Therefore, the substanceFood blue 2 (Indigo carmine)is considered to be not mutagenic inSalmonella typhimurium strain TA92, TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA94 and TA98 with and without metabolic activation.

Chromosomal aberration tests were performed by M. ISHIDATE et al (1984) carried out on Food blue 2 using a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line. The cells were exposed to three different concentration having highest concentration is 12000 µg/ml (12 mg/ml). Test substance induced polyploid cells at 48 hr after treatment. On the basis of this, the substance is considered to be mutagenic in Chinese hamster fibroblast cell line without metabolic activation.

Mutagenicity of Food blue 2 (Indigo carmine) performed by Joseph P. Brown et al (1978) was evaluate in S. typhimurium strains TA92, TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA94 and TA98 by method of by Ames et al. All strain was tested at dose 50, 250 and 1000 µg/plate both with and without metabolic activation). No significant increases in the number of revertant colonies were detected in any S. typhimurium strains with and without metabolic activation. Therefore, the substance Food blue 2 (Indigo carmine)is considered to be not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA92, TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA94 and TA98 with and without metabolic activation.

 

Mutagenicity test was conducted to observe genetic effect ofC.I. Acid blue 74 by H. E. Seifried (2006) in S.typhimurium strainTA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538 by plate Incorporation methodology. All strain was tested at dose five doses (100-10000 µg/plate) both with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor 1254-induced male Fischer). Positive control and solvent control was used. There is no dose-related increase in the number of revertants. Hence, the substance C.I. Acid blue 74is considered to be not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium/TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538with and without metabolic activation.

 

C.I. Acid blue 74 tested for mutagenicity in L5178Y TK+/- 3.7.Cby H. E. Seifried (2006) inmouse lymphoma cells. Toxicity of test chemical was determined both with and without S9 prepared from Aroclor-1254-induced male Fischer 344 rats. L5178Y TK +/- mouse lymphoma cells was exposed to 92-2000 µg/ml concentration of test chemical and positive control for without metabolic activation: ethyl methylsulfonate at 4.7Χ10-6 M (or methyl methanesulfonate at 10-20 µg/ mL), for metabolic activation: 3-methylcholanthrene at 1.86 Χ 10-5 M (or dimethylbenz[a]- anthracene at 0.5-4 µg/mL). There is dose related 2-fold increase in mutant frequency was observed at 92 µg/ml with S9.Hence, the substanceC.I. Acid blue 74is considered to be mutagenic inL5178Y TK +/- mouse lymphoma cells with metabolic activation and, not mutagenic without activation.

 

From the available studies, though there was presence of two positive results but based on the majority of studies reviewed, the test material C.I. Acid blue 74 is not mutagenic in vitro.
