- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- SOURCE OF TEST SYSTEM: Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 were supplied by Moltox (Molecular Toxicology, INC, Boone, NC 28607, USA) or Culture Collections (Public Health England, Porton Down, Salisbury, SP4 0JG, UK).
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation
DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes at 37 °C
- Exposure duration: Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 48-72 h
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
Preliminary toxicity test: one plate/dose-level
Mutagenicity experiments: three plates/dose-level
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The evaluation of the toxicity was performed based on the observation of the decrease in the number of revertant colonies and/or a thinning of the bacterial lawn.
OTHERS:
- The sterility of the S9 mix was checked before the beginning and at the end of each experiment and was found to be satisfactory.
- After 48 to 72 h of incubation at 37 °C, the number of revertants per plate was scored for each strain and for each experimental point using an automatic counter (Sorcerer Automatic Colony Counter for the scoring of colonies and Ames Study Manager for the data management, Perceptive Instruments Ltd, Bury St Edmunds IP33 3TA, UK). Also, the thinning of the bacterial lawn and the presence of precipitate were evaluated. - Rationale for test conditions:
- Using a test item concentration of 200 mg/mL in the vehicle and a treatment volume of 25 μL/plate, the highest recommended dose-level of 5000 μg/plate was achievable. Thus, the dose-levels selected for the preliminary test were 10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 μg/plate.
Since the test item was found freely soluble and non-toxic in the preliminary test, the highest dose-level selected for the main experiments was 5000 μg/plate, according to the criteria specified in the international guidelines. - Evaluation criteria:
- In all cases, biological relevance (such as reproducibility and reference to historical data) was taken into consideration when evaluating the results.
The test item is considered to have shown mutagenic activity in this study if:
- a reproducible 2-fold increase (for the TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 strains) or 3-fold increase (for the TA 1535 and TA 1537 strains) in the mean number of revertants compared with the vehicle controls is observed, in any strain, at any dose-level, and/or a reproducible dose-response relationship is evidenced.
The test item is considered to have shown no mutagenic activity in this study if:
- neither an increase in the mean number of revertants, reaching 2-fold (for the TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 strains) or 3-fold (for the TA 1535 and TA 1537 strains) the vehicle controls value, is observed at any of the tested dose-levels, nor any evidence of a dose-response relationship is noted. - Statistics:

- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, performed according to the OECD Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP, strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102) were exposed to test substance at the following concentrations:
Preliminary toxicity test: 10, 100, 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 μg/plate for TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 strains with and without S9 mix (plate incorporation method)
Mutagenicity experiments
Experiments without S9 mix: 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 μg/plate for the five strains in both mutagenicity experiments (plate incorporation method)
Experiments with S9 mix:
312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 μg/plate for the five strains in the first experiment (plate incorporation method), and for the TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 strains in the second experiment (pre-incubation method),
62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 μg/plate for the TA 1535 strain in the second experiment (pre-incubation method),
31.3, 62.5, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 μg/plate for the TA 1537 strain in the second experiment (pre-incubation method).
Metabolic activation system used in this test was10 % (v/v) S9 mix; S9 mix prepared from a liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 fraction) of rats induced with Aroclor 1254. Vehicle and positive control groups were also included in mutagenicity tests.
The mean number of revertants for the vehicle and positive controls met the acceptance criteria. Also, there were at least five analysable dose-levels for each strain and test condition. The study was therefore considered to be valid.
Experiments without S9 mix:
No precipitate was observed in the Petri plates when scoring the revertants at any of the tested dose-levels. A moderate toxicity was noted at the highest dose-level of 5000 μg/plate in the TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 100 strains, in both experiments. No noteworthy toxicity was noted at any of the tested dose-levels towards the other strains used. The test item did not induce any noteworthy increase in the number of revertants, in any of the five tested strains, in either experiment. These results met the criteria of a negative response.
Experiments with S9 mix:
