METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration:48-72 h at 37 degrees C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

- OTHER: 2 ml aliquots of molten top agar, 0.5 ml biotin and histadine, 0.1 ml tester strain, 0.1 ml test compound concentration were vortexed and poured onto minimal glucose plates in a thin layer. Plates needing activation were suplimented with 0.5 ml S-9 rat liver homogenate. Revertant colonies were counted with an electronic colony counter interfaced with a computer.

Evaluation criteria:

A positive result is a dose-related significant increase in the number of histidine dependent colonies as determined by the program developed by Fenton and Moore. A negative result is the absence of reproducible increase in the number of histidine dependent colonies.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test material was not found to increase mutation frequencies in any strain of S. typhimurium, either with or without metabolic activation. The substance is considered to not be mutagenic.

Executive summary:

The test article was received as a clear liquid. The solvent used throughout the assay was distilled/deionized water and 5000 microgram/plate.

Dose levels in a preliminary toxicity screen were 50, 166, 500, 1666 and 5000 microgram/plate. Strains TA1538 and TA100 of Salmonella typhimurium exhibited no inhibition of bacterial lawn growth at any of the dose levels tested.

Therefore , the top dose selected for the plate incorporation mutation assay was 5000 microgram/plate.

The test article was evaluated in strains TA 1535, TA1537, TA 1538 and TA100 of Salmonelle typhimurium both with and without metabolic activation preparation at dose of 50, 166, 500, 1666 and 5000 microgram/plate.

There were 0.10 mL of S-9 supernatant (31.1 mg protein/ml) per 1.0 ml of S9 -mix in the rat liver metabolic activation preparation.

The test article was negative in strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA98 and TA100 of Salmonella typhimurium with and without metabolic activation preparation at dose of 50, 1661 500, 166 and 5000 microgram/plate. All solvent and positive controls used in the evaluation of the test article were within the acceptable limits of mean historical data.
