Materials and methods
Test guideline
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 471 (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- m-Chloroaniline were sent to the testing laboratories as coded aliquots and were incubated with the S. typhimurium tester strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 either in buffer or S9 mix (metabolic activation enzymes and cofactors from Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver) for 20 minutes at 37°C. Top agar supplemented with L-histidine and d-biotin was added, and the contents of the tubes were mixed and poured onto the surfaces of minimal glucose agar plates. Histidine-independent mutant colonies arising on these plates were counted following incubation for 2 days at 37°C.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of assay:

Test material
- Reference substance name:
- 3-chloroaniline
- EC Number:
- 203-581-0
- EC Name:
- 3-chloroaniline
- Cas Number:
- 108-42-9
- Molecular formula:
- C6H6ClN
- IUPAC Name:
- 3-chloroaniline
- Test material form:
- other: liquid
- Details on test material:
- m-chloroaniline, a pale yellow liquid, was identified by infrared spectroscopy; each spectrum was consistent with a literature reference (Aldrich Library of FT-IR Spectra, 1985) and with that expected for the chemical structure. Gas chromatography indicated a purity greater than 99%.

Any other information on results incl. tables
m-chloroaniline (1 to 2,000 μg/plate) was tested with a preincubation protocol at two laboratories for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537, with and without Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver S9; no mutagenic activity was observed.

- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative - Executive summary:
m-Chloroaniline was evaluated with the S. typhimurium tester strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 either in buffer or S9 mix (metabolic activation enzymes and cofactors from Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver) for 20 minutes at 37°C. Top agar supplemented with L-histidine and d-biotin was added, and the contents of the tubes were mixed and poured onto the surfaces of minimal glucose agar plates. Histidine-independent mutant colonies arising on these plates were counted following incubation for 2 days at 37°C.
Each trial consisted of triplicate plates of concurrent positive and negative controls and of at least five doses of m-chloroaniline. The high dose was limited by toxicity.
m-chloroanilinewas negative in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537, with and without metabolic activation.
