Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Executive summary:

The Ames-test screening, employing doses of up to 5000 ug per plate, showed the test substance to produce bacteriotoxic effects, starting at 160 ug per plate.

Evaluation of individual dose groups, with respect to relevant assessment parameters (dose effect, reproducibility), revealed no biologically relevant variations from the respective negative controls.

In spite of the low doses used, positive controls increased the mutant counts to well over those of the negative controls, and thus demonstrated the system's high sensitivity.

Despite this sensitivity, no indications of mutagenic effects of the test substance could be found at assessable doses of up to 5000 ug per plate in any of the Salmonella typhimurium strains used.

Due to these screening-results the test substance has to be regarded as nonmutagenic.
