Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours (at 37C)

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): agar containing Histidine or Tryptophan

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Three replicates per concentration. Titer control replicates in 2-fold.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: reduced background lawn was regarded to be a cytotoxic effect. Plates with reduced background lawn were not included into evaluation procedures.

VALIDITY CRITERIA: the following genotypes of the tested strains had to be confirmed:
- Histidine auxotrophy
- Ampicillin resistance
- Tetracycline resistance (only TA 102)
- UV-sensitivity (except TA 102)
- Growth inhibition with crytal violet

Titer of the overnight culture >= 1x10^8 cells/ml.
Spontaneous revertant (negative controls) had to be within the following ranges:
- TA 97a: 60 - 300
- TA 87: 15 - 50
- TA 100: 60 -200
- TA 102: 300 -600
- TA 1535: 5 - 30

Evaluation criteria:

Plates with reduced background lawn were not included into evaluation procedures. The induction rate of mean valiues was calculates as revertant colonies of test item/revertant colonies of the corresponding control. The test item is to be interpretated mutagenic if there is a concentration effect relationship and the induction rate is >= 2.

Statistics:

Arithmetic mean values and standard deviations were calculated from colonies per plate of three replicates.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), cyclaprop did not show mutagenic properties, under the conditions of this test.

Executive summary:

The mutagenic effects of the test item Cyclaprop were determined in a bacterial reverse mutation assay according to OECD guideline 471 in two independent studies. Test systems were the Salomonella Typhimurium strains TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535 with and without the metabolic actication system S9 (from male Wistar rats) each. Positive and negative controls were included in each study. The duration of each study was 48 hours. The test item was dissolved in DMSO and applied once at test initiation with concentrations ranging from 0.0016 mg/plate - 1.6 mg/plate. The validity criteria of the test were fulfilled.

Cyclaprop did not induce any mutagenicity. Cytotoxicity occured at the highest concentrations tested, therefore these concentrations were not included in the evaluation. Cyclaprop was found to have no mutagenic effects on Salmonella Typhimurium strains with and without S9, under the conditions of this test. According to the criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Annex I of 1272/2008/EEC (CLP), Cyclaprop does not have to be classified as mutagenic.
