METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) and preincubation;

DURATION

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency;
Evaluation criteria:
The mutation factor is calculated by dividing the mean value of the revertant count through the mean values of the solvent control.

A test is considered acceptable if for each strain:
- the bacteria demonstrate their typical responses to crystal violet and ampicillin
- the control plates without S9 mix are within the following ranges (range of spontaneaus reversion frequencies-historical control- data range):
TA 1535: 5-30
TA 1537: 4-32
TA 98: 18-63
TA 100: 79-197
TA 102: 173-396
-corresponding background growth on both negative control and test plates is observed.
- the positive controls show a distinct enhancement over the control plate.

TDI-Urone has no mutagenic potential under the conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

The test item TDI-Urone was investigated for its potential to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre­ incubation test (experiment II) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100, TA 98 and TA 102.

In two independent experiments several concentrations of the test item were used. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix). The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate. The following concentrations of the test item were prepared and used in the experiments:

Experiment I and II: 31.6; 100.0; 316.2; 1000.0; 2500.0 and 5000.0 µg//plate

No toxic effects of the test item (indicated by a reduction of the background lawn or by a reduction of the spontaneaus rate) were observed in both experiments with or without metabolic activation.

No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with TDI-Urone at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment I and II. There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range beyond the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.

Therefore, TDI-Urone is not considered to be mutagenic in bacterial cells.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, N-[3-[[[(dimethylamino)carbonyl]amino]methyl]-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl]-N,Ndimethyl-Urea did not cause gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the tester strains used.
Therefore, N-[3-[[[(dimethylamino)carbonyl]amino]methyl]-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl]-N,N-dimethyl-Urea is considered to be non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

The test item N-[3-[[[(dimethylamino)carbonyl]amino]methyl]-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl]-N,N-dimethyl-Urea was investigated for its potential to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test (experiment I and II) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and tester strain E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101).



In two independent experiments several concentrations of the test item were used. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation. The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate.


The following concentrations of the test item were prepared and used in the experiments:
Experiment I:
31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 μg/plate
Experiment II:
50, 158, 500, 1580, 3000 and 5000 μg/plate



No precipitation of the test item was observed in any tester strain used in experiment I and II (with and without metabolic activation).
No toxic effects of the test item were noted in any of the five tester strains used up to the highest dose group evaluated with and without metabolic activation in experiment I and II. No biologically relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with N-[3-[[[(dimethylamino)carbonyl]amino]methyl]-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl]-N,N-dimethyl-Urea at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor
absence of metabolic activation in experiment I and II.


All criteria of validity were met.
