Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
An initial range finding experiment was carried out in strain TA100 only, using final concentrations of BMS 528235-01 at 1.6, 8, 40, 200, 1000 and 5000 ug/plate, plus negative (solvent) adn positive contols. Experiment 1 treatments of the remained tester strains retained teh same dose series. Experiment 2 treatments of all the tester strains retained 5000 ug/plate as the max test dose. A narrowed dsoe range was employed for treatment of all strains (78.125 to 5000 ug/plate), in order to more closely examine the highest concentration considered most likely to provide evidence of any mutagenic activity.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
A preliminary range finding experiment was conducted with strain TA100 at 5 concentrations from 1.6 to 5000 ug/plate plus negative (solvent) controls. No evidence of toxicity was observed following this treatment. These data were considered acceptable for mutation assessment and were used to comprise the TA100 mutagenticity data for Experiment 1. Experiment 1 treatments fo the remaining tester strains retained the same dose series as used in teh Range-finder experiment. No evidence of toxicty was observed following any Experiment 1 treatments.
Experiment 2 treatments of all teh teser strains retained 5000 ug/plate as the max test dose. A narrowed dsoe range was employed for treatment of all strains (78.125 to 5000 ug/plate), in order to more closely examine the highest concentration considered most likely to provide evidence of any mutagenic activity. In addition all treatments in teh presence of S-9 were further modified by teh inclusion of a pre-incubation step. In this way it was hoped to increase the range of mutagenic chemicals that cold be detected using this assy system. Evidence of toxicisty was observed following the top dose treatments of some of the strains in teh presnced ofn S-9 only. Preciipitation of the test article was observed followign teh top dose treatment of S. tryphimurium strains in teh presenced of S-9 only.
Negative (solvent) and poistive control treatments were included fora ll strains in both experiments. Teh mean numbers of revertant colonies on negative control plates all fell within acceptable ranges, and were significantly evelvated by postive control treatments
Evaluation criteria:
The assay was considered valid if the following crieteria were met:
1. The mean negative control counts fell within the normal ranges
2. The positive control chemicals induced clear increases in revertant numbers confirming discrimination between different strains, and an active S-9 preparation.
3. No more than 5% of the plates were lost through contamination or some other unforseen event.

The test article was considered to be mutagenic if:
1. The assay was valid (see above)
2. Dunnett's test gave a significant response (p< 0.01) and the data set(s) showed a significant dose correlation
3. The positive responses described above were reproducible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No statistically significant, dose-related and reproducible increases in revertant numbers were observed following any strain treatments in the absenced or presence of metabolic activation, and therefore this study was considered to have provided no evidence of any BMS 528235-01 mutagenic activity.
It was concluded that BMS 528235-01 did not induce mutation in four histidine-requiring strains of S. typhimurium (TA98, TA1000, TA1535 adn tA1537), adn one tryptophan-requiring strain of Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA) when tested under the conditions of this study. These conditions included treatments at concentrations up to 5000 ug/plate in teh absence and in the prsence of a rat liver metabolic activation sysatem (S-9)
