Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The substance did not induce shift mutations under the conditions used both in the absence and presence of S9.

Executive summary:

Isopropenyl acetate was examined for mutagenic activity in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium both in the -absence and in the presence of a metabolic activation system (S-9 mix), in compliance with OECD guideline 471 ("Salmonella typhimurium, Reverse Mutation Assay").From the results obtained in both experiments it appeared that incubation of the test substance with the bacteria did not increase the number of his+ revertants with S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 or TA 100, either in the absence or in the presence of the S-9 mix. At the highest dose level used (100. 0 mg/plat e ) the test substance appeared to be (slightly) toxic for all strains, as was seen from a diminished background lawn of bacterial growth and/or a strong reduction of the number of his+ revertants as compared with the controls. The positive controls used in the present assays gave the expected strong increase in the number of his+ revertants, both in the absence and in the presence of the S-9 mix.

From the above findings it is concluded that Isopropenyl acetate did not show mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535 , TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 or TA 100 either in the absence or in the presence of the S-9 mix, under the conditions employed in this evaluation
