Specific details on test material used for the study:
STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: Keep the substance in cool and dark place; tightly closed, in refrigerator (1 - 10 °C); fill nitrogen after opening of package.
- Stability under test conditions: The test substance is stable. The stability is confirmed at the end of exposure using IR spectroscopy.
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: soluble in DMSO at 50 mg/mL
- Reactivity of the test substance with the solvent/vehicle of the cell culture medium: No reactivity


TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Final preparation of a solid: Test material was measured and diluted in DMSO at 50 mg/mL. This solution was diluted sequencly in the appropriate concentration.

Method

Target gene:
trp operon and his operon
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix, prepared from the livers of rats treated with phenobarbital and 5-6-benzoflavone
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1 and 2: 39.1, 78.1, 156, 313, 652, and 1250 μg/mL were tested for TA1535 (up to the cytotoxic concentration)
Experiment 1 and 2: 156, 313, 652, 1250, 2500 and 5000 μg/mL were tested for TA100 , WP2uvrA, TA98 and TA1537
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: due to the limited solubility of the test substance in water, DMSO was selected as the vehicle
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:

Positive control substance:
sodium azide
benzo(a)pyrene

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes
- Exposure duration: 49.5 h for the first experiment and 48 h for the second experiment

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
3 replication each in 2 independent experiments

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: all cells

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance was considered positive in the Ames test if:
a) a more than 2-fold increase in the number of revertants was observed
b) the positive result was reproducible inspite of dose-related increase.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviations were calculated.

Additional information on results:
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
Preliminary test was performed with 19.5, 78.1, 313, 1250 and 5000 μg/mL with/without S9.
There was no reverse mutation observed in all species at all concentration. Furthermore, cytotoxicity was observed at 1250 μg/mL and more (TA1535) and at 5000 μg/mL (WP2urvA, TA98, TA100 and TA1537) with and without metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the Ames test the substance was not mutagenic in any of the five strains (S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA) tested with and without metabolic activation up to 1250 µg/plate for TA1535 and 5000 µg/plate for other strains.
