Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: as impregnation on paper disk (spot test in a closed system)

Experiments without S9 were performed by adding 10E8 bacteria (in 0.1 mL) to 2 mL of standard top agr, mixing immediately, and pouring on a Davis minimal agar plate. Experiments with S9 were performed in the same manner except that 0.5 mL of S9 mix was added before mixing.
A sterile disk saturated with test substance was placed in the center of one of two replicate plates. The plate with the disk was inverted and the other plate was stacked on top of it. Both plates were sealed in a plastic bag and incubated for 48 hours at 37°C.
Evaluation criteria:
A chemical was judged to be mutagenic or nonmutagenic in the assay after considering the various pieces of information provided by the statistical analysis
Statistics:
The data points (number of revertants/plate = x) were transformed prior to analysis using the power transformation y = xE0.2. Two analyses were performed. In the first analysis, the response observed at each concentration was compared to the control by a t-test of significance to determine which dose levels produced significant increases in mutation frequency. In the second analysis, the significance of the dose-response relationship was tested. Linear, quadratic, and higher order dose-response effects were tested in an F-test of significance. In addition, an analysis was conducted to determine whether the dose-response relationship was different in different trials.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

DBE is not mutagenic in the Ames reverse mutation assay (spot test format) with strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 up to the test concentration of 10000 µg/plate.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of DBE has been assessed in the Salmonella typhimurium Ames test according to OECD guideline n° 471 and EC guideline n° B13/14.

Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 were tested in presence and in absence of metabolic activation system from liver fraction of rats (S9 mix). The negative control was DMSO.

DBE was tested in 2 independent experiments performed according to the spot test method in which a sterile disk saturated with DBE was placed in the center of the plate.

Each strain of bacteria was exposed to dose-levels of 0, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 or 10000 µg/plate of the test item (two plates/dose-level). In each experiment, negative and positive controls were included using duplicate plates.

After 48 hours of incubation at 37°C in a sealed plastic bag, the number of revertant colonies per plate was scored in each experiment, for each strain and for each experimental point. The evaluation of the toxicity was performed on the basis of the observation of the decrease in the number of revertant colonies and/or thinning of the bacterial lawn.

No noteworthy toxicity was induced in an initial cytotoxicity experiment on TA1535.

Negative and positive controls responded adequately. The study was therefore considered valid.

The test substance DBE did not induce any noteworthy increase in the number of revertants which could be considered as relevant, either with or without S9 mix, in any of the 4 tester strains.

The test item did not demonstrate any in vitro mutagenic activity in this bacterial test system, therefore DBE is not classified according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
