Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: gene mutation
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
11 Nov 1999 - 13 Mar 2000
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP guideline study, tested with the source substance CAS 2306-88-9. According to the ECHA guidance document “Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)”, the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Method

Target gene:
his opreon
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
other: rfa-; uvrB- (R+ for TA 98 and TA 100)
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 102
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
other: rfa-; uvrB+; R+
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats treated with phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone.
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1 and 2: 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate
Experiment 2: 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO (MERCK, D-64293 Darmstadt; purity > 99%)
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The solvent was chosen because of its solubility properties and its relative nontoxicity to the bacteria.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: 10 µg/plate sodium azide (TA 1535 and TA 100; -S9); 4-nitro-o-phenylene-diamine (10 µg/plate in TA 98 and 50 µg/plate in TA 1537; -S9); 5.0 µl/plate methylmethanesulfonate (TA 102; -S9); 2.5 µg/plate 2-aminoanthracene (10.0 µg/plate in TA 102) (+S9)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) (first experiment); preincubation (second and third experiment)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 min
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in three independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Inspection of the bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered positve if either a dose related increase in the number of revertants or a biologically relevant increase for at least one test concentration is induced. A test item producing neither a dose related increase in the number of revertants nor a biologically relevant positive response at any one of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in the test system.
A biologically relevant response is described as follows:
A test item is considered mutagenic if the number of reversions is at least twice the spontaneous reversion rate in strains TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 or thrice in strains TA 1535 and TA 1537. Also, a dose-dependent increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential of the test item regardless whether the highest dose fulfilled the criteria described above or not.
