Results and discussion
Test results
- Species / strain:
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- no cytotoxicity
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- Positive and solvent controls showed the expected results.
After incubation with test item and yeast cells, no cytotoxicity was observed. The growth factor was within the expected range (> 0.5).
Dibutyl phthalate showed no endocrine activity, neither in the YES Assay nor in the YAS Assay: The values for galactosidase activity and induction ratio of all test item dilutions lay in the same range as the values of the respective control. No dose-response correlation was visible.
Under the conditions of this test system, the test item Dibutyl phthalate is considered to have neither estrogenic nor androgenic agonistic or antagonistic activity in the YES YAS Assay. - Remarks on result:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
After incubation with test item, no cytotoxicity was observed for the yeast cells.
The values for galactosidase activity and induction ratio of all test item dilutions lay in the same range as the values of the respective control. No dose—response correlation was visible. Dibutyl phthalate showed no endocrine activity, neither in the YES Assay nor in the YAS Assay.
Under the conditions of this test system, the test item Dibutyl phthalate is considered to have neither estrogenic nor androgenic agonistic or antagonistic activity in the YES YAS Assay.
The value for the positive controls were within the range of historical data of the test facility *
Some of the OD values of the solvent controls were not within the range of historical data of the test facility *. This is considered as uncritical for the following reason: The deviation from the respective range of the historical data was only marginal. Variation of biological systems within this order of magnitude is not unusual. For these reasons, the result ofthe test is considered as valid.
