INITIAL TOXICITY-MUTATION ASSAY:

Six doses of the test material ranging from 20.6 to 5000 ug/plate±S9 were evaluated in the overlay toxicity test using T100 WP2urA strains. No precipitation was observed up to the limit dose, 5000 ug/plate. Based on the qualitative data generated, cytotoxicity (as indicated by decreased revertants/plate) was evident at the highest dose tested (HDT) with most test conditions. Hence, 5000 ug/plate (the maximum recommended dose in accordance with guidelines) ± S9 was chosen as the HDT for mutagenicity testing using the overlay method.

 

CONFIRMATORY MUTAGENICITY ASSAY:

Reproducible cytotoxic effects were seen in the confirmatory mutation test in the majority of strains at 5000 mg/plate±S9. Revertant counts in profenofos treated pre-incubation tests did not differ from the negative (DMSO) control data.Owing to a growth-inhibiting effect of the test material in experiments without and with S9 activation, a reduction in the colony numbers by more than 50% was occasionally observed with strains TA1537 and WP2uvrA at the upper concentrations. No precipitate was observed. In contrast, positive controls responded appropriately with at least a three-fold increase in the number of revertants over the mean value of the respective vehicle control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):negative with metabolic activationnegative without metabolic activationBased on the results from this study, profenofos was not mutagenic in the bacterial strains tested, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation when tested up 5000 mg/plate (the maximum dose in accordance with regulatory guidelines).
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria,Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were exposed to CGA15324 tech formulated in DMSO. The assay was performed in two phases, using the plate incorporation method.

 

Following a preliminary toxicity-mutation assay, dose levels of 312, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 ug/plate in the presence and absence of S9 activation were assessed in an initial and confirmatory mutagenicity assay. Owing to a growth-inhibiting effect of the test material in experiments without and with S9 activation, a reduction in the colony numbers by more than 50% was occasionally observed with strains TA1537 and WP2uvrA at the upper concentrations. No precipitate was observed.

 

Based on the results from this study, profenofos was not mutagenic in the bacterial strains tested, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation when tested up 5000 ug/plate (the maximum dose in accordance with regulatory guidelines).
