Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

From the results obtained, the test item Emulsogen OG is found to be non mutagenic at and up to the highest concentration of 0.2 mg/plate in Bacterial Reverse Mutation test in the tester strain Solmonella typhimurium and Eschericia coli in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation.

Executive summary:

Test substance Emulsogen OG was evaluated for mutagenicity in a Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test according to OECD 471 Test guideline. The Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA 100, TA1535, TA1537 and Eschericia coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101) strain were used as test system. Test item resulted in minimal precipitation at 0.2 mg/plate, hence initial cytotoxicity test was carried out with concentrations of 0.07, 0.08, 0.09.0.1 and 0.2 mg/plate. Based on the precipitation and initial cytotoxicity tests, the assay was performed at concentrations of 0.0125, 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/plate with and without the metabolic actvation system S9. DMSO was used as solvent. Solvent control and appropriate positive controls were tested simultaneously. Two trials were carried out for this study in triplicates with plate incorporation method (Trial I) and preincubation method (Trial II).

From the experimental results obtained, the mean numbers of revertant colonies at the above mentioned concentrations were comparable to those of the DMSO in both trials with and without metabolic activation. There was no significant in increase in number of revertant colonies at any of the concetrations tested in both plate incorporation and preincubation method. The number of revertant colonies in the positive controls has shown 2.4 to 20.7 fold increase with statistical significance, at 5% level(p<0.05) under identical conditions.

From the results obtained, the test item Emulsogen OG is found to be non mutagenic at and up to the highest concentration of 0.2 mg/plate in Bacterial Reverse Mutation test in the tester strain Solmonella typhimurium: TA98, TA 100, TA1535, TA 1537 and Eschericia coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101) in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation.
