Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: the test material was fully soluble in dimethyl sulphoxide at 50 mg/mL solubility checks performed in-house. Sterile distilled water was not evaluated as a potential vehicle in this test system due to information supplied by the sponsor. Dimethyl sulphoxide was therefore selected as the vehicle.

A solvent treatment group was used as the vehicle control and test in parallel with the test material.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
A) DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
In order to select appropriate dose levels for use in the main test, a preliminary test was carried out to determine the toxicity of the test material. The test was performed by mixing 0.1 mL of bacterial culture (TA100), 2 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented, top agar, 0.1 mL of test material formulation, 0.5 mL of S9-mix or phosphate buffer and overlaying into sterile plates of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar (30 mL/plate). Ten doses of the test material and a vehicle control (dimethyl sulphoxide) were tested.
In addition, 0.1 mL of the maximum concentration of the test material and 2 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented, top agar was overlaid onto a sterile Nutrient agar plate in order to assess the sterility of the test material. After approximately 48 hours incubation at 37°C the plates were assessed for numbers of revertant colonies using a Domino colony counter and examined for effect on the growth of the bacterial background lawn.

B) MAIN STUDY:

EXPERIMENT I:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (direct plate incorporation method)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: all of the plates were incubated at 37°C for approximately 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

OTHER:
- a second experiment (Experiment II) was performed using methodology as described for Experiment 1, using fresh bacterial cultures, test material and control solutions. The test material dose range was amended slightly, based on the results from Experiment I.
Evaluation criteria:
There are several criteria for determining a positive result, such as a dose-related increase in revertant frequency over the dose range tested and/or a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations in at least one bacterial strain with or without metabolic activation. Biological relevance of the results will be considered first, statistical methods, as recommended by the UKEMS can also be used as an aid to evaluation, however, statistical significance will not be the only determining factor for a positive response.
A test material will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Statistics:
not mandatory for this test system

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: not soluble in water (information provided by the sponsor); therefore DMSO was used as a vehicle
- Precipitation: A light, oily precipitate was observed in the preliminary toxicity test only at 5000 µg/plate.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The test material was toxic at and above 1500 µg/plate to the strain of Salmonella used (TA100). The test material formulation and the S9-mix used in this experiment were both shown to be sterile.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: a historical profile of vehicle and positive control values is available.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
The test material caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all of the tester strains in both experiments at various dose levels. Weakened bacterial background lawns were initially noted to TA1537 at 500 µg/plate and to the remaining Salmonella strains at 1500 µg/plate. The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test material varied between strain type, experiment number and exposures with or without S9. The test material was tested up to either the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate or the toxic limit depending on bacterial strain type and experiment number.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
