- Details on test system and experimental conditions:

- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): 10^8 viable cells in the late exponential or early stationary phase
DURATION
- Preincubation period: The test item was preincubated with the test strain (containing approximately 108 viable cells in the late exponential or early stationary phase) and sterile buffer (0.5 mL) or the metabolic activation system (0.5 mL) for 20 minutes at 37°C prior to mixing with the overlay agar and pouring onto the surface of a minimal agar plate.
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): not applicable
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): not applicable
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): not applicable
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: colony reduction
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: Cytotoxicity is defined as a reduction in the number of colonies by more than 50% compared with the vehicle control and/or a scarce background lawn. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered to show a positive response if
- the number of revertants is significantly increased compared to the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and 1.5-fold of the solvent control for TA102 in both independent experiments.
Or
- a concentration-related increase over the range tested in the number of the revertants per plate is observed. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient may be applied.
- positive results have to be reproducible and the histidine independence of the revertants has to be confirmed by streaking random samples on histidine-free agar plates.
Biological relevance of the results should be considered first.
A test item for which the results do not meet the above mentioned criteria is considered as non-mutagenic in the AMES test.
The range of spontaneous reversion frequencies per plate is based on Kirkland :
TA98: 20 - 60
TA100: 100 - 200
TA102: 240 - 320
TA1535: 10 - 35
TA1537: 3 - 20
The numbers may be slightly different on plates with S9 and may vary slightly from experiment to experiment.
The results of the negative and positive control cultures have to be within the range of the historical data generated by LPT. - Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, under the present test conditions Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (OPT)
tested up to a concentration of 5000 µg/plate, caused no mutagenic effect in the
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537
neither in the plate incorporation test nor in the preincubation test each carried out
without and with metabolic activation. - Executive summary:
The potential of Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT) to induce gene mutation was examined in 5 Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 in two independent experiments, each carried out without and with metabolic activation (a microsomal preparation derived from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver). The first experiment was carried out as a plate incorporation test and the second as a preincubation test. Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT) was completely dissolved in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). The vehicle DMSO served as the negative control.
Preliminary test
Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT) was examined in two preliminary cytotoxicity tests (plate incorporation test without and with metabolic activation) in test strain TA100. Ten concentrations ranging from 0.316 to 5000 μg Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT)/plate were tested. No signs of cytotoxicity were noted up to the top concentration of 5000 μg/plate. Hence, 5000 μg Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT)/plate were chosen as top concentration for the main study in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test.
Main study
Six concentrations, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 3160 or 5000 μg Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT)/plate were employed in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test, each carried out without and with metabolic activation.
Cytotoxicity
No signs of cytotoxicity were noted in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test, each carried out without and with metabolic activation up to the top concentration of 5000 μg Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT)/plate in any test strain.
Mutagenicity
No increase in revertant colony numbers as compared with control counts was observed for Di-(iso)-pentyl terephthalate (DPT), tested up to a concentration of 5000 μg/plate, in any of the 5 test strains in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation, respectively (plate incorporation and preincubation test).
The positive control items showed a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies of the respective test strain and confirmed the validity of the test conditions and the sensitivity of the test system.
