Migrated to IUCLID6: or N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The standard S. typhimurium plate-incorporation assay was performed in the presence and in the absence of S9 mix, contained 10% Aroclor 1254 induced liver S9 from male Sprague-Dawley rats. The E. coli test was performed by the same procedure as the S. typhimurium assay except that each liter of base agar was supplemented with 10 ml (1% v/v) of Oxoid nutrient broth to provide a trace of tryptophan.
Evaluation criteria:
Test results were considered valid only if the positive control compounds induced increases in mutant counts to at least twice background.
Statistics:
None stated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with and without S9

Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
Reliability of this study can be demonstrated as 2 (reliable with restrictions) due to limited data available on methods and results, no guidelines and no GLP.
Executive summary:

Reverse mutation assays using S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538 and E. coli WP2 were carried out with and without metabolic activation system of S9 mix. The test was performed using doses of 0.033, 0.1, 0.33, 1.0, 3.3 and 10 mg/plate. All platings were performed in duplicate and concurrent positive controls were run with the test.

The negative result indicated that the test substance was not mutagenic in any tested S. typhimurium and E. coli strains with or without metabolic activation.

Reliability of this study can be demonstrated as 2 (reliable with restrictions) due to limited data available on methods and results, no guidelines and no GLP.
