Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium, other: TA 1535, TA 1537, TA1538, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S-9 homogenate from Aroclor 1254-induced adult male Sprague-Dawley rat livers
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
25, 79, 250, 790 and 2500 µg/plate; in additional experiment with TA100 2.5-250 µg/plate.
Controlsopen allclose all
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Remarks:
DMSO
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
sodium azide
Remarks:
Migrated to IUCLID6: 2 µg/plate, without S9
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
benzo(a)pyrene
Remarks:
Migrated to IUCLID6: 5 µg/plate, with and without S9
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The test design included a preliminary toxicity test and a mutation assay using the standard pour plate procedure, followed by an independent repeat experiment. An additional assay in TA 100 was performed at lower concentrations (2.5-250 µg/plate) in view of the toxicity seen in the first mutation experiment with this strain.

Results and discussion

Test results
Key result
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium, other: TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Remarks:
at 2500 µg/plate; at TA100 also at 250 and 790 µg/plate
Additional information on results:
Inhibition growth was seen in all strains at the highest dose tested (also at 250 and 790 µg/plate in TA100). There was no increase in the number of revertants observed in any strain, in either presence or absence of S9-mix.
