Similarly, partial inhibition of background lawn was observed at 312.5 µg/plate when compared to vehicle control. Based on the results of preliminary cytotoxicity assay, test item concentrations of 19.53, 39.06, 78.13, 156.3, and 312.5 µg/plate are selected for testing in the main mutagenicity study.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 were procured from Molecular Toxicology, Inc. PO Box 1189 Boone, NC 28607 USA.
Stock cultures of tester strains in oxoid nutrient broth no. 2 with 10% DMSO are stored in the test facility as frozen permanents at -80±10ºC. - Rationale for test conditions:
- The bacterial reverse mutation assay has been shown to be a sensitive, rapid and accurate indicator of the mutagenic activity of many test items including a wide range of chemical classes. Additionally, the tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 are the recommended by regulatory agencies for conducting Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test.
- Evaluation criteria:
- The following criteria were used to determine a valid assay before the data evaluation for interpretation of results.
- Regular background growth in the solvent control and negative control (if any).
- To demonstrate that appropriate numbers of bacteria are plated, density of the tester strain cultures must be greater than or equal to 0.5 x 109 bacteria/mL.
- The positive control substances should produce a significant increase in mutant colony frequencies over the vehicle control plates.
- The spontaneous reversion rates in the solvent control and negative control (if any) is in the range of our historical data.
- Minimum five analyzable test item doses should be available to evaluate mutation frequencies.

- Additional information on results:
- The test item, Safranal was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutation by plate incorporation and pre-incubation method using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation along with vehicle and positive controls. No significant increase in the revertant colony count was observed in any of the tested concentrations, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation, when compared to the vehicle control.
The spontaneous revertant colony count of vehicle and positive controls was within the range of laboratory historical control data.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- It is thus concluded that the test item, Safranal is Non-Mutagenic up to the highest tested concentrations of 312.5 µg/plate in the five Salmonella typhimurium tester strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) in the presence (10% S9 mix) and absence of metabolic activation, as measured by the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test, under the conditions of the test employed.
- Executive summary:
The test item, Safranal from Organica Aromatics Private Limited, was evaluated in a Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay as per OECD Guideline No. 471, “Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test”, adopted on 21st July 1997.
The test item, Safranal was tested for its ability to induce reverse mutations at the histidine locus in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) in the presence and absence of an exogenous mammalian metabolic activation system (S9).
The test item was found to be soluble in DMSO at a concentration of 50 mg/mL and no precipitation was observed at the highest tested concentration i.e. 5000 µg/plate. On the basis of solubility and precipitation tests, the Preliminary Cytotoxicity Test was performed at 39.06, 78.13, 156.3, 312.5, 625.0, 1250, 2500 and 5000µg/plate with Salmonella typhimurium TA100 both in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system.
Complete inhibition of background lawn and reduction in the number of revertant colonies were observed at the concentration of 5000, 2500, 1250, 625.0 µg/plate. Similarly, partial inhibition of background lawn was observed at 312.5 µg/plate when compared to vehicle control. Therefore, on the basis of preliminary cytotoxicity assay results, the Trial I and Trial II were performed at 19.53, 39.06, 78.13, 156.3 and 312.5 µg/plate both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Vehicle control (dimethyl sulfoxide) and appropriate positive controls (2- nitrofluorene, sodium azide and 9-Aminoacridine, Mitomycin C for trials “without metabolic activation” and 2- Aminoanthracene for trials “with metabolic activation”) were tested simultaneously.
In Trial I, tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 were treated with test item at 19.53, 39.06, 78.13, 156.3 and 312.5 µg/plate, along with vehicle and positive controls both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation by plate incorporation method. No significant increase in revertant colony count was observed both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation in any of the tested concentrations up to 312.5 µg/plate, when compared to vehicle control. The partial inhibition of bacterial lawn was observed at 312.5 µg/plate both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
In Trial II, all the tester strains, TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 were treated with test item at 19.53, 39.06, 78.13, 156.3 and 312.5 µg/plate by pre-incubation method along with vehicle and positive controls, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. In all the tester strains, no significant increase in revertant colony count was observed both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation in any of the tested concentrations up to 312.5 µg/plate, when compared to vehicle control. The partial inhibition of bacterial lawn was observed at 312.5 µg/plate both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
The spontaneous revertant frequency of the vehicle control group was within range of historical control data. The positive controls used in the study exhibited significant increase in mean number of revertant frequency respective to their strains, indicating that the sensitivity of the tester strains towards specific mutagens and confirmed that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
It is thus concluded that the test item, Safranal is Non-Mutagenic up to the highest tested concentrations of 312.5 µg/plate in the five Salmonella typhimurium tester strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) in the presence (10% S9 mix) and absence of metabolic activation, as measured by the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test, under the conditions of the test employed.
