Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item was tested for its mutagenic potential in 5 Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538) and 1 Escherichia coli strain (WP2 uvr A). The test substance proved to be very toxic to the strains at 20 µg/plate and to form precipitations at 500 µg/plate, the highest concentration tested in the second experiment.

Either with or without metabolic activation, the substance was not mutagenic in the present test system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the study results it is concluded that the test material is not mutagenic in the bacterial test systems investigated either in the absence or in the presence of an exogenous metabolizing system (S-9).
Executive summary:

An investigation on induction of gene mutations in bacteria (OECD 471) was performed with coco alkylamines ("Genamin CC 100 D"). The test compound (purity approx. 100%) was solved in acetone and tested in doses of 0.16µg/plate up to 10 mg/plate with and without liver S-9 mix from Arochlor induced male Sprague Dawley rats. Only doses up to 100 µg/plate could be evaluated due to strain specific strong cytotoxic effects at doses of 20 or 100 µg/plate and higher doses. In TA1537 the bacterial background lawn was reduced already at 4µg/plate in the second experiment. Precipitaions were seen at 500 µg/plate and higher doses. No increases in the number of revertants were induced in any of the tester strains, e.g. Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and E. coli WP2uvrA. Summarizing it can be stated that the test article genamin CC 100 D is not mutagenic in these bacterial test systems either with or without exogenous metabolic activation at the dose levels investigated.
