METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium; in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: Overnight (Approximately 12 hours)
- Exposure duration: 48 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): approximately 60 hours
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 48 hours

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): Histidine or tryptophan-minimal agar

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 independent runs (with three plates) of the test article and each control

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: All revertant colonies on each plate were counted.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Bacterial lawn thinning and a reduction in spontaneously occuring colonies.
Evaluation criteria:
A test article is classified as mutagenic if it has either of the following effects:
a) it produces at least a 2-fold increase in the mean number of revertants per plat of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control at complete bacterial background lawn.
b)it induces a dose-related increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control in at least two to three concentrations of the test compound at complete bacterial background lawn.

If the test substance does ont achieve either of the above criteria, it is considered to show no evidence of mutagenic activity in this system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study, the test article was not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of the test article was evaluated in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with Salmonella typhimurium (strains: TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98) and Escherichia coli (strain: WP2uvrA) in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. This study was conducted in compliance with OECD GLP guidelines (1999). The study design was based on OECD 471 (1997), US EPA OPPTS 870.5100 (1998), EEC Directive 92/69 L383A Annex B13 and B14. The test article was emulsified in deionized water prior to administration. Two mutagenicity tests were performed with all strains (one plate incorporation test and one preincubation test) each in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (rat liver homogenate). Positive and negative controls were included in all tests. Each bacterial strain was exposed to the test article at up to 5000 ug/plate. A repeat preincubation test was performed with TA1537. The positive and negative controls performed as expected which indicated the tests were valid. A weak increase in the number of revertants was noted in the test article-treated group in strain TA1537 in the absence of metabolic activations. The test article did not increase the number of revertants in the repeat test with TA1537. No increases in the number of revertant colonies were noted in any other strain. Based on the results of the study, the test article was not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
