Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Mesamoll was tested in an Salmonella/microsome test in doses up to 12500 µg/plate (20; 100; 500; 2500; 12500 µg/plate) with 4 Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA 1535; TA 100; TA 1537 and TA 98).

Doses up to 12500 µg/plate did not lead to bacteriotoxic effects. The positive controls Endoxan, Trypaflavin and 2 -Aminoanthrazen reacted clearly mutagen.

No references for a mutagen effect of Mesamoll could be found.
