OTHER: ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA:
For a test to be considered valid, the mean of the vehicle control revertant colony numbers for each strain should lie within or close to the current historical control range for the laboratory unless otherwise justified by the Study Director. The historical range is maintained as a rolling record over a maximum of five years. Also, the positive control compounds must induce an increase in mean revertant colony numbers of at least twice (three times in the case of strains TA1535 and TA1537, which have relatively low spontaneous reversion rates) that of the concurrent vehicle controls. Mean viable cell counts in the 10-hour bacterial cultures must be at least 10E09/mL. - Evaluation criteria:
- If exposure to a test substance produces a reproducible increase in revertant colony numbers of at least twice (three times in the case of strains TA1535 and TA1537) that of the concurrent vehicle controls, with some evidence of a positive concentration-response relationship, it is considered to exhibit mutagenic activity in this test system. No statistical analysis is performed.
If exposure to a test substance does not produce a reproducible increase in revertant colony numbers, it is considered to show no evidence of mutagenic activity in this test system.
If the results obtained fail to satisfy the criteria for a clear “positive” or “negative” response, even after additional testing, the test data may be subjected to analysis to determine the statistical significance of any increases in revertant colony numbers. Biological importance will be considered along with statistical significance. In general, treatment-associated increases in revertant colony numbers below two or three times the vehicle controls (as described above) are not considered biologically important. It should be noted that it is acceptable to conclude an equivocal response if no clear results can be obtained.
Occasionally, these criteria may not be appropriate to the test data and, in such cases, the Study Director would use his/her scientific judgement. - Statistics:
- The statistical procedures used are those described by Mahon et al (1989) and are usually Dunnett’s test followed, if appropriate, by trend analysis.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
The mean revertant colony counts for the vehicle controls were within or close to the current historical control range for the laboratory. Appropriate positive control chemicals (with S9 mix where required) induced substantial increases in revertant colony numbers with all strains in all reported tests, confirming sensitivity of the cultures and activity of the S9 mix.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
- First test:
Evidence of weak toxicity, observed as a slight reduction in revertant colony numbers, was obtained in the Salmonella strains following exposure to Ethylene Brassylate at 5000 µg/plate in the absence of S9 mix. No evidence of toxicity was obtained in the E. coli strain, or in the presence of S9 mix. A maximum exposure concentration of 5000 µg/plate was, therefore, selected for use in the second test.
- Second test:
Evidence of weak toxicity, observed as a slight reduction in revertant colony numbers, was obtained in the Salmonella strains following exposure to Ethylene Brassylate at 5000 µg/plate in the absence of S9 mix. No evidence of toxicity was obtained in the E. coli strain, or in the presence of S9 mix.
OTHER:
The absence of colonies on sterility check plates confirmed the absence of microbial contamination of the S9 mix, buffer and test substance formulation.
The viability counts confirmed that the viable cell density of the cultures of the individual organisms exceeded 109/mL in all cases, and therefore met the acceptance criteria. - Remarks on result:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation
Ethylene Brassylate is not mutagenic with and without metabolic activation in S. thyphimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100, and E.coli WP2 uvrA according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC. - Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay performed according to the OECD test guideline No. 471 and in compliance with GLP, S. typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and E.coli strain WP2 uvrA were exposed to Ethylene Brassylate diluted in DMSO both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system (10% v/v S9 fraction in standard co-factors) using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods, in triplicate. Concentrations of Ethylene Brassylate up to, and including, 5000 µg/plate were tested. This is the standard limit concentration recommended in the regulatory guidelines that this assay follows. Other concentrations used were a series of ca half-log10 dilutions of the highest concentration.
Evidence of weak toxicity, observed as a slight reduction in revertant colony numbers, was obtained in the Salmonella strains following exposure to the test material at 5000 µg/plate in the absence of S9 mix. No evidence of toxicity was obtained in the E. coli strain, or in the presence of S9 mix.
No evidence of mutagenic activity was seen at any concentration of Ethylene Brassylate in either mutation test.
The concurrent positive controls verified the sensitivity of the assay and the metabolising activity of the liver preparations. The mean revertant colony counts for the vehicle controls were within or close to the current historical control range for the laboratory.
Under the test condition, Ethylene Brassylate is not mutagenic in the presence and absence of metabolic activation in S. thyphimurium strains TA1535, TA1537 TA98 & TA100, and E.coli WP2 uvrA according to the criteria of the Annex VI of the of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for reverse gene mutation endpoint.
