Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Pentene, 2, 4, 4-trimethyl-, sulfurized is non mutagenic at a concentration of 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3 and 1 µL/plate in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 and hence is negative for gene mutation in vitro.
- Executive summary:
In an in-vitro gene toxicity test, Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 bacterial cells were exposed to Pentene, 2, 4, 4-trimethyl-, sulfurized in the concentration of 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3 and 1 µL/plate with and without metabolic activation. Plate incorporation assay was performed with three replicate assay plates. The mean number of his- revertants/plate was calculated for each concentration and strain.The results showed that there was no significant evidence of mutation in any of the Salmonella strains in the quantitative mutagenesis assay in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Pentene, 2, 4, 4-trimethyl-, sulfurized is non mutagenic at a concentration of 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.1, 0.3 and 1 µL/plate in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538.
