- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the mutagenic potential of the test substance in a bacterial mutation assay, in compliance with GLP. Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100 and TA1535 were treated with the test substance using the Ames plate incorporation method at up to five concentration levels for each bacterial strain, in triplicate, both with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix; Aroclor induced rat and hamster liver homogenate metabolising system). The concentration range was 0.1 to 10 µg/plate (-S9 -mix) and 3.3 to 200 µg/plate (+S9 -mix). Cytotoxicity was observed at ≥3.3 µg/plate without metabolic activation and at 200 µg/plate with metabolic activation. No significant increase in the frequency of revertant colonies was recorded for any of the bacterial strains with any concentration tested, either with or without metabolic activation. The vehicle (ethanol) control or the negative control plates produced counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All the positive control chemicals used in the test produced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without the S9 -mix. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA97, TA98, TA100 or TA1535, with or without S9 metabolic activation (Irwin, 1999).

Method details: In the test without S9, cells were incubated in McCoy’s 5A medium with the test substance for 8 hours; Colcemid was added and incubation continued for 2 hours. For the test with S9, cells were treated with the test substance and S9 for 2 hours, after which the treatment medium was removed and the cells were incubated for 10 hours in fresh medium, with Colcemid present for the final 2 hours.

All slides were scored blind and those from a single test were read by the same person. Classes of aberrations included simple (breaks and terminal deletions), complex (rearrangements and translocations), and other (pulverised cells, despiralised chromosomes, and cells containing 10 or more aberrations). Chromosomal aberration data are presented as percentage of cells with aberrations. - Evaluation criteria:

- The genotoxic potential of the test substance was determined by the induction of gene mutations in L5178Y cells in a mouse lymphoma mutagenicity test both with and without metabolic activation as per the Myhr et al., (1985) protocol. Cells deficient in thymidine kinase (TK) due to the mutation of TK+/- to TK-/- are resistant to the cytotoxic effects of trifluorothymidine (TFT). Thymidine kinase proficient cells (TK+/-) are sensitive to TFT, which causes the inhibition of cellular metabolism and halts further cell division. Thus mutant cells are able to proliferate in the presence of TFT, whereas normal cells, which contain thymidine kinase, are not able to proliferate.

- Suspensions of bacterial cells are exposed to the test substance by the plate incorporation method in the presence and in the absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system. In this method, the suspensions are mixed with an overlay agar and plated immediately onto the minimal medium and incubated for two days at 37˚C, The results are interpreted by counting the revertant colonies and comparing to the number of spontaneous revertant colonies on solvent-control plates.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

negative with metabolic activation
negative with metabolic activation
Under the test conditions, the read across test substance was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA97, TA98, TA100, or TA1535, with or without S9 metabolic activation. - Executive summary:
A study was conducted by NTP to determine the mutagenic potential of the read across test substance, 'amides, C8 -18 (even-numbered) and C18 -unsatd., N, N-bis(hydroxyethyl)' (in the form ofcoconut oil acid diethanolamine condensate)inSalmonella typhimurium.
Salmonella typhimuriumstrainsTA97, TA98, TA100 and TA1535were treated with the test substance using the Ames plate incorporation method at up to eight dose levels for each bacterial strain, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of S9 mix (i.e., Aroclor induced rat and hamster liver homogenate metabolising system). The dose range was 0.1 to 6.7 µg/plate in the absence of S9 mix and from 3.3 to 200 µg/plate in the presence of S9 mix.
Cytotoxicity was observed at 6.7µg/plate without metabolic activation in the strain TA 1535 and at≥100 and200 µg/plate with metabolic activation in the strains TA 97 and 100 respectively.No significant increase in the frequency of revertant colonies was recorded for any of the bacterial strains with any dose of the test substance, either with or without metabolic activation.The vehicle (ethanol) control or the negative control plates produced counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All the positive control chemicals used in the test produced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without the S9 -mix.
Under the test conditions, the read across test substancewas not mutagenic inSalmonella typhimuriumstrain TA97, TA98, TA100, or TA1535, with or without S9 metabolic activation.
