Remarks:

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes 37°C without shaking
- Exposure duration: 2 days

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per strain and dose level, including the controls; experiments were repeated

Evaluation criteria:
An individual trial was judged as:
- mutagenic: if dose-related increase over the corresponding solvent control was seen
- weakly mutagenic: if low-level dose response
- questionable: if dose-related increase was judged to be insufficiently high to be called weakly mutagenic or only a single dose was elevated or a non -dose-related increase was seen

A chemical was judged mutagenic, if it produced a reproducible, dose-related increase in revertants over the corresponding solvent control in replicate trials.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item showed no mutagenic activity in the preincubation test performed with modifications similar to Prival with (induced rat and hamster liver S9) and without metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test item did not exert mutagenic activity in the reverse bacterial mutation assay (preincubation assay, also with Prival modification) with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Mutagenic activity of the test item was investigated in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA98 and TA100 with (Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9 mix or with Aroclor 1254-induced hamster liver S9 mix; i.e. modified Prival test) and without metabolic activation at concentrations of 100, 333, 1000, 3333 and 10000 µg/plate using the preincubation method.

The test item did not reveal any mutagenic activity under the conditions tested. The appropriate reference mutagenes showed distinct positive mutagenic effects.
