Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
p-tert.-Amylphenol did not induce a mutagenic effect in S. thyphimurium. It is therefore not considered to be a bacterial mutagen. - Executive summary:
P-tert amylphenol was tested for its ability to induce reverse mutations in an in vitro bacterial system.
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 were treated with the test compound by the Ames test plate incorporation as well as the preincubation method. This was the practice in 1996; a 5th strain to detect oxidizing mutagens was not performed in this study.
Five dose levels covering the range between 0.6 and 5000 microg/plate, in triplicate both with and without the addition of a metabolising system (Aroclor 1254 induced rat liver S9 mix) were employed.
All four bacterial strains exhibited mutagenic responses to the appropriate positive control substances.
Solvent controls were also tested with each strain and the mean numbers of spontaneous revertants were in an acceptable range.
Mutagenic activity of the test compound to one or more of the tester strains was not observed in either experiment with and without metabolic activation.
It is therefore concluded, that P-tert amylphenol is not a bacterial mutagen.
