- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- The histidine-auxotrophic strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537) were obtained from Prof. B. Ames, Berkeley, CA., U.S.A.
Inoculates from frozen master copies were set up monthly. They were grown in liquid NB-medium overnight and then plated on NB-agar. After incubation, single colonies were taken from the plates, grown overnight in liquid NB-medium and then used for the experiment.
The characteristics of the strains were checked monthly. Histidine-auxotrophy of the strains was demonstrated by the requirement for 1-histidine. The presence of the rfa character was assayed by the sensitivity for crystal-violet. The deletion of the uvrB gene (strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537) was demonstrated by the sensitivity for UV-light. The Salmonella strains containing the R-factor (TA 98 and TA 100) were additionally checked for ampicillin resistance. Strain TA 102 additionally was checked for tetracycline resistance (presence of multicopy plasmid pAQ1). The presence of the uvr+ gene was demonstrated by the resistance of strain TA 102 against UV light. Furthermore, all strains were checked for their characteristic reversion properties with known mutagens (positive controls). - Additional strain / cell type characteristics:

- Setting up of the test plates:
0.1 mL of the overnight cultures were mixed with 2 mL of top agar, either 0.5 mL of 100 mM sodium phosphate buffer (experiments without activation) or 0.5 mL of the activation mixture (experiments with activation) and 0.1 mL of a solution of the test substance, the substance for the positive control or the solvent for the negative control and poured on minimal agar in Petri dishes. Each Petri dish contained about 20 mL of minimal agar (1.5 % agar supplemented with 2 % salts of the Vogel-Bonner Medium E and 2 % glucose). The top agar was composed of 0.6 % agar and 0.6 % NaCl. It was supplemented with 10 % of 0.5 mM 1-histidine and 0.5 mM (+) biotin dissolved in water.
Preliminary Toxicity/Range-Finding test:
A toxicity test (check for reduction in the number of revertant colonies) was carried out with strain TA 100 without and with microsomal activation at six concentrations of the test substance and one negative control according to Standard Operating Procedures of Genetic Toxicology. The highest concentration applied was 5000 µg/plate. The five lower concentrations decreased by a factor of 3. The plates were inverted and incubated for about 48 hours at 37 ± 1.5 °C in darkness. Thereafter, they were evaluated by counting the colonies and determining the background lawn. One plate per test substance concentration, as well as each negative control was used.
Mutagenicity test:
The mutagenicity test was performed with strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537 without and with microsomal activation according to Standard Operating Procedures of Genetic Toxicology. Each of the five concentrations of the test substance, a negative and a positive control were tested, using three plates per test substance concentration as well as each positive and negative control with each tester strain. The highest concentration applied in the first and second mutagenicity test was 5000 µg/plate (because of lack of toxicity in the range finding test) and the four lower concentrations were each decreased by a factor of 3. The plates were inverted and incubated for about 48 h at 37 ±1.5 °C in darkness. Thereafter, they were evaluated by counting the number of colonies and determining the background lawn. - Evaluation criteria:
- Assay acceptance criteria: A test is considered acceptable if the mean colony counts of the control values of all strains are within the acceptable ranges and if the results of the positive controls meet the criteria for a positive response.
- Statistics:
- In deviation to the OECD guideline, a statistical analysis was not performed. At present the use of statistical methods concerning this particular test system is not generally recommended. No appropriate statistical method is available.

- Additional information on results:
- Toxicity test/Range finding test: Six concentrations of the test substance ranging from 20.6 to 5000 µg active ingredient/plate were tested with strain S. typhimurium TA 100 to determine the highest concentration to be used in the mutagenicity assay. The experiments were performed with and without microsomal activation. Normal back-ground growth was observed at all concentrations. A slight increase in the number of revertant counts was observed at the upper concentrations, followed by a reduction in the number of revertant colonies at the highest concentration, due to toxicity of the test substance. From the results obtained, the highest concentration suitable for the mutagenicity test was selected to be 5000 µg active ingredient/plate without and with activation.
Mutagenicity test, original experiment: In the original experiment carried out without metabolic activation, treatment of strain TA 102 with the test substance led to a slight increase in the number of revertant counts at the concentrations of 185.2 to 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. In the experiment with activation, a similar effect occurred on strain TA 100 at concentration of 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate and on strain TA 102 at concentrations of 185.2 and 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. No effects were observed with the other strains.
Mutagenicity test, confirmatory experiment: In the confirmatory experiment carried out without metabolic activation, treatment of strain TA 102 with the test substance led to a slight increase in the number of revertant counts at the concentration of 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. In the experiment with activation, a similar effect occurred on strains TA 100 and TA 102 at the same concentration. Again, no effects were observed with the other strains. In the mutagenicity tests normal background growth was observed at all concentrations. In the experiments without and with microsomal activation, due to toxicity of the test substance the numbers of revertant colonies occasionally were slightly reduced with strains TA 100 and TA 102 at the upper concentrations. - Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the test substance is considered to be non-mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro study was performed to investigate the potential of the test substance (of ca. 21.4 % purity) to induce gene mutations according to OECD Guideline 471, EU Method B.14 and EPA OTS 798.5265 in compliance with GLP.
Based on the results of a preliminary toxicity/range finding study, the substance was tested for mutagenic effects without and with metabolic activation at 5 doses from 61.7 to 5000 µg active ingredient/plate. An independent repetition of the experiments was performed with the same concentrations. In the preliminary experiment without and with metabolic activation performed on strain TA 100, a slight increase in the number of revertant counts was observed at the upper concentrations, followed by a reduction in the number of revertant colonies at the highest concentration. In the original experiment carried out without metabolic activation, treatment of strain TA 102 with the test substance led to a slight increase in the number of revertant counts at 185.2 to 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. In the original experiment with activation, a similar effect occurred on strain TA 100 at 1666.7 µg/plate and on strain TA 102 at 185.2 and 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. No effects were observed with the other strains. In the confirmatory experiment carried out without metabolic activation, treatment led to a slight increase in the number of revertant counts at 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. In the confirmatory experiment with activation, a similar effect occurred on strains TA 100 and TA 102 at the same concentration. Again, no effects were observed with the other strains. Overall, the test substance exerted only a marginal mutagenic action on strains S. typhimurium TA 100 and TA 102.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: Mitotic index, cell count. - Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result:
- a clear and dose-related increase in the number of cells with aberrations,
- a biologically relevant response for at least one of the dose groups, which is higher than the laboratory negative control range (up to 4.0 % aberrant cells without and 4.3 % with metabolic activation). - Statistics:
- A statistical evaluation was used as an aid for interpretation of the results. Statistical significance at the 5 % level (p < 0.05) was evaluated by the Fischer´s exact test. The p value was used as a limit in judging for significance levels in comparison with the corresponding negative/solvent control.

- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described in vitro chromosome aberration test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item FAT 40075/D did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line. Thus, the test item FAT 40075/D is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test using V79 cells in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro chromosome aberration assay, the test item FAT 40075/D was investigated for the potential to induce structural chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells in the absence and presence of metabolic activation with S9 homogenate. This test was conducted in accordance to OECD guideline 473, EPA OPPTS 870.5375 and EU Method B.10. The metaphases were prepared 20 h after start of treatment with the test item. The treatment interval was 4 h without and with metabolic activation in experiment I. In experiment II, the treatment interval was 20 h without and 4 h with metabolic activation. Duplicate cultures were treated at each concentration. 100 metaphases per culture were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations. Based on the results of the solubility test MEM cell culture medium was used as solvent (MEM + 0 % FBS). The following concentrations were evaluated for the microscopic analysis of chromosomal aberrations:
Experiment I:
without metabolic activation: 500, 1000 and 1500 µg/mL
with metabolic activation: 750, 1000 and 1500 µg/mL
Experiment II:
without metabolic activation: 15, 20 and 25 µg/mL
with metabolic activation: 900, 1200 and 1900 µg/mL
No precipitation of the test item was observed without and with metabolic activation in all dose groups evaluated in experiment I and II. In experiment I (short-term treatment) without metabolic activation, cytotoxic effects of the test item were determined at a concentration of 1500 µg/mL considering the relative cell count. However, considering the relative mitotic index no cytotoxic effects were observed. With metabolic activation cytotoxic effects of the test item were determined at a concentration of 1000 µg/mL and higher considering the relative cell count. However, considering the relative mitotic index no cytotoxic effects were observed. In experiment II (long-term treatment) without metabolic activation, cytotoxic effects of the test item were observed at a concentration of 25 µg/mL considering the relative mitotic index. Cytotoxicity was also determined by the decrease of relative cell count at concentrations of 20 µg/mL and higher. With metabolic activation, no cytotoxic effects of the test item considering the relative mitotic index were observed. However, considering the relative cell count cytotoxic effects were observed at concentrations of 1200 µg/mL and higher. In all experiments, no biologically relevant increase of the aberration rates was observed after treatment with the test item without and with metabolic activation. No concentration-related increase of structural chromosome aberrations were determined in experiment I and II. On the basis of the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to any biologically relevant increase in the number of structural chromosome aberrations at all sampling times. In the experiments I and II without and with metabolic activation no biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was observed after treatment with the test item as compared to the negative controls. The distinct increase in the number of structural chromosome aberrations induced by the positive controls (EMS, CPA) clearly demonstrates the sensitivity of the test system.
There was no evidence of chromosome aberration induced over background.
This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5375; OECD 473 for in vitro cytogenetic mutagenicity data. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described in vitro chromosome aberration test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item FAT 40075/D did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line. Thus, the test item FAT 40075/D is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test using V79 cells in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.

Additional information
The genetic toxicity database of Reactive Orange 035 consists of a bacterial reverse mutation assay and an in vitro mammalian chromosomal aberration assay.
Bacterial reverse mutation assay with Reactive Orange 035:
A bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed to investigate the potential of Reactive Orange 035 (of ca. 21.4 % purity) to induce gene mutations according to OECD Guideline 471, EU Method B.14 and EPA OTS 798.5265 in compliance with GLP. Based on the results of a preliminary toxicity/range finding study, the substance was tested for mutagenic effects without and with metabolic activation at 5 doses from 61.7 to 5000 µg active ingredient/plate. An independent repetition of the experiments was performed with the same concentrations. In the original experiment carried out without metabolic activation, treatment of strain TA 102 with the test substance led to a slight increase in the number of revertant counts at 185.2 to 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. In the original experiment with activation, a similar effect occurred on strain TA 100 at 1666.7 µg/plate and on strain TA 102 at 185.2 and 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. No effects were observed with the other strains. In the confirmatory experiment carried out without metabolic activation, treatment led to a slight increase in the number of revertant counts at 1666.7 µg active ingredient/plate. In the confirmatory experiment with activation, a similar effect occurred on strains TA 100 and TA 102 at the same concentration. Again, no effects were observed with the other strains. Overall, the test substance exerted only a marginal mutagenic action on strains S. typhimurium TA 100 and TA 102.
In vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay with Reactive Orange 035:
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT locus), V79 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to FAT 40171/Y at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL (with and without metabolic activation, Experiment I), 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment II) and 45, 90, 180, 375, 750, 1500, 3000, 4000 and 5000 µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment II). FAT 40171/Y was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations. In experiment I without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.37 was found at a concentration of 500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 76.2 %. In experiment I with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 2.04 was found at a concentration of 2500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 54.1 %. In experiment II without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 0.74 was found at a concentration of 1000 µg/mL with a relative growth of 77.5 %. In experiment II with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 2.88 was found at a concentration of 4000 µg/mL with a relative growth of 52.4 %. There was no evidence of a concentration related positive response of induced mutant colonies over background. In conclusion, in the described in vitro cell gene mutagenicity test under the experimental conditions reported, the test item FAT 40171/Y is considered to be non-mutagenic in the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster.
In vitro chromosomal aberration assay with Reactive Orange 035:
In anin vitrochromosome aberration assay, Reactive Orange 035 (FAT 40075/D) was investigated for the potential to induce structural chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells in the absence and presence of metabolic activation with S9 homogenate. This test was conducted in accordance to OECD Guideline 473, EPA OPPTS 870.5375 and EU Method B.10. In all experiments, no biologically relevant increase of the aberration rates was observed after treatment with the test item without and with metabolic activation. No concentration-related increase of structural chromosome aberrations were determined in experiment I and II. On the basis of the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to any biologically relevant increase in the number of structural chromosome aberrations at all sampling times. In the experiments I and II without and with metabolic activation no biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was observed after treatment with the test item as compared to the negative controls.Based on the findings of the study, Reactive Orange 035 (FAT 40075/D) is considered to be not clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test using V79 cells in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.
Conclusion:
Reactive Orange 035 was found to have exerted a marginal mutagenic action with Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 and TA 102 strains. Reactive Orange 035 is a diazo compound, and as widely known, the high levels of reductase enzymes present in bacterial cells compared to mammalian cells, are responsible for converting the azo compounds to electrophilic compounds and thereby may lead to false positive results in the bacterial reverse mutation assay. Hence, the observed marginal action was considered to be the false positive owing to the diazo structure present in the dye. Taking the above information into account, Reactive Orange 035 is regarded as not mutagenic. Reactive Orange 035 was not clastogenic in the in vitro chromosomal aberration assays. Thus, the chemical can be considered to be neither mutagenic nor clastogenic, and hence not genotoxic.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Reactive Orange 035 has been found to be not genotoxic, hence it does not warrant classification as the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
