- Evaporation from medium: no
- Water solubility: ok
- Precipitation:yes ( ≥ 158 µg/plate)
- Other confounding effects: no - Conclusions:
- With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test material was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
- Executive summary:
The investigations for the mutagenic potential of the test item were performed using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA. The plate incorporation test with and without addition of liver S9 mix from Aroclor 1254-pretreated rats was used. Two independent experimental series were performed. In the two series with S9 mix, 10 % S9 in the S9 mix were used in the first and 30 % in the second series, respectively. The test item was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and tested at concentrations ranging from 5.00 to 1580 μg/plate. Precipitation of the test material on the agar plates occurred at concentrations greater or equal than 158 μg/plate. Toxicity to the bacteria was not observed. Daunomycin, sodium azide, 9-aminoacridine, 4-nitroquinolin-N-oxide and cumene hydroperoxide served as strain specific positive control test materials in the absence of S9 mix. 2-Aminoanthracene and benzo[a]pyrene were used for testing the bacteria and the activity of the S9 mix. Each treatment with the test materials used as positive controls led to a clear increase in revertant colonies, thus, showing the expected reversion properties of all strains and good metabolic activity of the S9 mix used.
With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
