Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: In the confirmation test only, for 20 minutes
- Exposure duration: 72 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 per concentration per test

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The number of colonies per plate was counted
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: A reduction in the number of colonies in a dose-dependent manner compared to negative control for any strain and condition might indicate cytotoxicity.

- OTHER:
Sterility test: The sterility of the test item and the metabolic activation system (S9) were tested. The highest concentration of test item and a sample of the S9 mix were added respectively to top agar preheated at about 45°C and poured over minimal agar medium plates. The plates were incubated for about 72 hours at about 37°C. Presence or absence of colonies was observed. Bacterial growth would be an indication of microbiological contamination of the test item or S9 mix respectively.
Solubility test: Solubility was assessed as precipitation in the final mixture under the actual test conditions. Observation of precipitation by naked eye indicates insolubility.
Rationale for test conditions:
According to guideline
Evaluation criteria:
Several criteria are used for determining a positive result: a dose-response in the range tested and / or a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations in the number of revertant colonies per plate in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation system.
A result was considered positive whenever the number of revertants is increased compared to the vehicle-control to at least 2 fold of the vehicle control for TA 98, 100, and 102 strains, and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535 and 1537 strains. However biological relevance of the results was considered first.

Positive results from the bacterial reverse mutation test indicate that a test item induces point mutations or frame-shifts in the genome of the tested bacterial strains. Negative results from the test indicate that under the test conditions, the test item neither mutagenic nor-pro-mutagenic in the tested experimental system.
Statistics:
Mean and standard deviation results were calculated. Additionally, the R ratio was calculated as follows:
R = Number of revertant colonies in the presence of the test item / Number of revertant colonies in the absence of the test item

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The mutagenic and cytotoxic potential of the test item was investigated in an Ames test, and was found to non mutagenic and non pro-mutagenic under the test conditions and no evidence of cytoxicity was observed.
Executive summary:

The present bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames test) was performed in order to evaluate the mutagenic potential of the test item. Suspensions of 5 amino-acid requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537) were exposed by the direct plate incorporation method to five doses of the test item ranging from 5000 μg to 62 μg per plate in the presence and in the absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system. Both tests were repeated with the pre-incubation method. Revertant bacteria due to point or frameshift-mutations at specific locus are able to grow, forming colonies. These colonies were counted and compared to the number of spontaneous revertant colonies on the solvent control plate (negative control). Similarly, specific standard mutagens were tested and used as positive controls.

Based on the results obtained in this study, the test item was found to be non-mutagenic and non-pro-mutagenic under the test conditions.

The study is a GLP compliant guideline experimental study and is acceptable without restriction for assessment of this endpoint.
