DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Background lawn
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Other: Genotypes were evaluated for each study. - Evaluation criteria:
- Since a reduced background lawn is regarded to be a cytotoxic effect, plates with reduced background lawn were not included into evaluation procedures.
Arithmetic mean values and standard deviations were calculated from colonies per plate of three replicates. For evaluation of the results the induction rate of the mean values was calculated :
Induction rate: revertant colonies of test item/revertant colonies of the corresponding control
The test item is to be interpretated mutagenic if there is a concentration effect relationship and the induction rate is >=2. The data presented in the tables are computer generated and rounded for presentation. Thus manual calculation of results based an the data in this report may yield minor deviations from these figures.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In this study the test item was found to have no mutagenic effects an Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 97 a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535 with (+) and without (-) the metabolic activation system S9 from male Wistar rats at concentrations up to 5 mg/plate.
- Executive summary:
The mutagenic effects of the test item were determined in a reverse mutation assay according to the principles of OECD Guideline No. 471 and EEC Directive 2000/32/EEC Method B. 13/14. Test systems were the Salmonelle typhimurium strains TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535 with (+) and without (-) the metabolic activation system S9 (from male Wistar rats) each. Positive and negative controls were included in each study. Duration of each study was 48 h. The test item was dissolved in DMSO and applied once at test initiation with the concentrations 0.05 - 0.16 - 0.5 - 1.6 - 5 mg/plate. The test substance showed no mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation. Cytotoxic effects were observed only for TA97a in the highest concentration of 5 mg/plate.
