DURATION
- Preincubation period: no data
- Exposure duration: 48 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 hours
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Three

Evaluation criteria:

This mutation assay is considered acceptable if if meets A) the negative control data is within the laboratory background historical range for each tester strain. B) The positive control chemcials should produce responses in all tester strains which are within the laboratoy historical range documents for each positive control substance C) the selected dose range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate.

Statistics:

A test substance is considered negative if a) the total number of revertants in any tester strain at any concentration is not greater than two times the solvent control value, with or without metabolic activiation. b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment. A test substance is considered postive if a) it induces a number of revertant colonies, dose related, greater than two-times the number of vertants induced by the solvent control in any of the test strains, either with or without metabolic activation. However, any mean plate count of less than 20 is considered to be not significant. b) the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiments.

Additional information on results:

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: In the dose range finding test, the test article was tested up to concentrations of 5000 micrgrams/plate with and without S9-mix in the trains TA100 and WP2uvrA. The test article precipiated on the plates at dose levels of 3330 and 5000 micrograms/plate in the presence of S9-mix. In tester strain Wp2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at all concentrations tested.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: All bacterial strains showed negative responses over the entire dose range, (i.e. no dose-related, two-fold, increase in the number of revertants in two independently repeated experiments.)

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The results of this study indicated thatt the test article is not mutgenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation asasy and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.

Executive summary:

The test article, C4 -Acrylate, was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with four histidine-requiring strains of S.typhi TA1535, TA1537, TA100 and TA96) and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with a tryptophan-requiring strain of Escherichia coli Wp2uvrA. The test was performed in two independent experiments in the presence and absence of S9-mix. In the dose range finding test, the test article was tested up to concentrations of 5000 micrograms/plate with and without S9-mix in the trains TA100 and WP2uvrA. The test article precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 3330 and 5000 micrograms/plate in the presence of S9-mix. In tester strain Wp2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at all concentrations tested. In the first and in the second mutation assay, the test article was tested up to concentrations of 3330 micrograms/plate in the absence and presence of S9-mix. The test article precipitated on the plates at this dose level. Toxicity was observed in test strains TA1537 and TA100 in the presence of S9-mix in the second mutation assay at the highest concentration tested. In all other strains tested no toxicity was observed at any of the concentrations tested. The presence of 5 and 10% (v/v) S9 activation did not influence these findings. The test article did not induce a dose related, two-fold increase in the number of revertant Histidine+ colonies in each of the four S.typhi test strains and in the number of revertant (trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation.

These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment. Based on the results of these studies, the test article is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
