METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, e.g.: background growth inhibition, increase in the size of microcolonies, reduction of the revertant colonies
- Rationale for test conditions:
- Test Guidelines conditions
- Evaluation criteria:
- a) The vehicle control and positive control plates (with or without S9-mix) must exhibit a characteristic number of revertant colonies when compared against relevant historical control data generated at the laboratory
b) 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.
c) No more than 5% of the plates are lost through contamination or some other unforeseen event. If the results are considered invalid due to contamination, the experiment will be repeated.
A test material is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a)The total number of revertants in the tester strain TA100 or WP2 uvrA is not greater than two times the concurrent vehicle control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537 or TA98 is not greater than three times the concurrent vehicle control.
b)The negative response should be reproducible in at least one follow-up experiment.
A test material is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a)The total number of revertants in the tester strain TA100 or WP2 uvrA is greater than two times the concurrent vehicle control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 is greater than three times the concurrent vehicle control.
b)In case a follow-up experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one follow-up experiment. - Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Docosan-1-ol (CAS 661-19-8, EC 211-546-6) has been tested in a reliable 5th-strain test conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP, using Escherichia Coli (E.coli) strain WP2 uvrA via the plate incorporation methodology. No dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies in the tester strain WP2 uvrA was observed, both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation in the first experiment. These results were confirmed in the follow up experiment. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were added and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
