Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1 treatments of all the tester strains were performed in the absence and in
the presence of S-9, using final concentrations of Dermol OL at 5, 16, 50, 160, 500,
1600 and 5000 µg/plate, plus vehicle and positive controls. Following these
treatments, no evidence of toxicity was observed, as would normally be manifest as a
thinning of the background bacterial lawn or a marked reduction in revertant numbers.
Experiment 2 treatments of all the tester strains were performed in the absence and in
the presence of S-9. Narrowed concentration intervals were employed covering the
range 50-2500 µg/plate, in order to examine more closely those concentrations of
Dermol OL approaching the maximum test concentration and considered therefore
most likely to provide evidence of any mutagenic activity. In addition, all treatments
in the presence of S-9 were further modified by the inclusion of a pre-incubation step.
In this way, it was hoped to increase the range of mutagenic chemicals that could be
detected using this assay system.
Following these treatments, toxicity as a reduction in revertant mutant numbers was
only observed at 2500 µg/plate in strain TA1535 in the absence of S-9.
Precipitation was observed on the test plates at concentrations of 1600 µg/plate and
above in all strains in the absence and in the presence of S-9 in Experiment 1 and at
2500 µg/plate in the absence and in the presence of S-9 in Experiment 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was concluded that Dermol OL did not induce mutation in five histidine-requiring
strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of Salmonella typhimurium
when tested under the conditions of this study. These conditions included treatments
at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate (the maximum recommended concentration
according to current regulatory guidelines and a precipitating concentration) in the
absence and in the presence of a rat liver metabolic activation system (S-9).
Executive summary:

Dermol OL was assayed for mutation in five histidine-requiring strains (TA98,

TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of Salmonella typhimurium, both in the

absence and in the presence of metabolic activation by an Aroclor 1254-induced rat

liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S-9), in two separate experiments.

All Dermol OL treatments in this study were performed using formulations prepared

in anhydrous analytical grade dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO).

Experiment 1 treatments of all the tester strains were performed in the absence and in

the presence of S-9, using final concentrations of Dermol OL at 5, 16, 50, 160, 500,

1600 and 5000 µg/plate, plus vehicle and positive controls. Following these

treatments, no evidence of toxicity was observed, as would normally be manifest as a

thinning of the background bacterial lawn or a marked reduction in revertant numbers.

Experiment 2 treatments of all the tester strains were performed in the absence and in

the presence of S-9. Narrowed concentration intervals were employed covering the

range 50-2500 µg/plate, in order to examine more closely those concentrations of

Dermol OL approaching the maximum test concentration and considered therefore

most likely to provide evidence of any mutagenic activity. In addition, all treatments

in the presence of S-9 were further modified by the inclusion of a pre-incubation step.

In this way, it was hoped to increase the range of mutagenic chemicals that could be

detected using this assay system. Following these treatments, toxicity as a reduction in

revertant mutant numbers was only observed at 2500 µg/plate in strain TA1535 in the

absence of S-9.

Precipitation was observed on the test plates at concentrations of 1600 µg/plate and

above in all strains in the absence and in the presence of S-9 in Experiment 1 and at

2500 µg/plate in the absence and in the presence of S-9 in Experiment 2.

Vehicle and positive control treatments were included for all strains in both

experiments. The mean numbers of revertant colonies were comparable with

acceptable ranges for vehicle control treatments, and were elevated by positive control

treatments.

Following Dermol OL treatments of all the test strains in the absence and presence of

S-9, no increases in revertant numbers were observed that were ≥1.5-fold (in strain

TA102), ≥2-fold (in strains TA98 or TA100) or ≥3-fold (in strains TA1535 or

TA1537) the concurrent vehicle control. This study was considered therefore to have

provided no evidence of any Dermol OL mutagenic activity in this assay system.

It was concluded that Dermol OL did not induce mutation in five histidine-requiring

strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of Salmonella typhimurium

when tested under the conditions of this study. These conditions included treatments

at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate (the maximum recommended concentration

according to current regulatory guidelines and a precipitating concentration) in the

absence and in the presence of a rat liver metabolic activation system (S-9).
