Additional information on results:
Observations: The plates incubated with the test substance showed normal background growth at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate. No increases in the numbers of revertant colonies were seen at any of the concentrations of the test substance with or without metabolic activation.

Positive control substances sodium azide, 4-nitro-ortho-ohenylenediamine) and 2-aminoanthracene led to increases in induce revertant colonies in the appropriate bacterial strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The Ames test was negative with metabolic activation and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The test item was investigated for in vitro genetic toxicity at the concentration in an Ames test with a concentration range of 10 to 5000 µg/plate, with and without metabolic activation, following a standard guideline. The study included TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538 strains. Positive control substances were also included. The Ames test was negative with metabolic activation and negative without metabolic activation as no increases in the numbers of revertant colonies were seen at any of the concentrations of the test substance, with or without metabolic activation.

The study is a GLP compliant, guideline study and is acceptable with restrictions for assessment of this endpoint.
