Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
- plate incorporation assay without and with induced rat liver S9 mix (15% (v/v); induction with Phenobarbital/beta-Naphthoflavone)
- preincubation assay without and with uninduced hamster liver S9 mix (30% (v/v))

DURATION
- Preincubation period: ca. 30 minutes at 30 °C
- Exposure duration: at least 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per strain and dose level, including controls

Evaluation criteria:
A test compound is classified as mutagenic if it has either of the following effects:
- it produces at least a 2-fold increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control at complete bacterial background lawn
- it induces a dose-related increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control in at least two to three concentrations of the test compound at complete bacterial background lawn
- an increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent secnd experiment

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: visible at 333 to 5000 µg/plate (plate incorporation assay with and without metabolic activation), at 1000 to 5000 µg/plate (pre-incubation assay without metabolic activation), at 33 to 5000 µg/plate (pre-incubation assay with metabolic activation); in the plate incorporation assay the highest test concentration of 5000 µg/plate could not be analysed in TA100 (without metabolic activation) and in TA 98, TA 100 and WP2uvrA (with metabolic activation), due to densely coloured plates


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
- in strain TA1537 and TA100 minor reductions in the number of revertants were observed in the pre-incubation test at 5000 µg/plate without metabolic activation
- the reduction in the number of revertants in strain TA 1535 at 333 µg/plate with S9 mix in the pre-incubation test was judged by the authors of the study to be based on biological fluctuations


Any other information on results incl. tables

In the plate incorporation assay with metabolic activation TA 98 showed a minor increase in revertant colony numbers at 2500 µg/plate. To verify the results of this experiment an independent repeat experiment was performed under indentical conditions with strain TA 98 in the presence of metabolic activation. No increase in the number of revertant colonies occurred in the repeat experiment and the effect observed in the first experiment was judged by authors of the study as biologically irrelevant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results:
negative

The test item did not exert mutagenic activity in the reverse bacterial mutation assay (plate incorporation assay and preincubation assay according to Prival) with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Mutagenic activity of the test item was investigated in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA98, TA100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA with (induced rat liver S9 mix) and without metabolic activation at concentrations of 0, 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate using the plate incorporation assay. Due to the test items characteristic as an azo-dye the test was also conducted using the Prival modification, i.e. testing the above mentioned bacterial strains in the preincubation assay with uninduced hamster liver S9 mix for metabolic activation. This test was performed using the concentrations 0, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate.

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