METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation test

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 per dose or per control

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method:
decrease in the number of revertants (factor ≤ 0.6)
clearing or diminution of the background lawn (= reduced his- or trp- background growth)

Evaluation criteria:

Acceptance criteria:
Generally, the experiment was considered valid if the following criteria were met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination.
• The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• Fresh bacterial culture containing approximately 10 to the power of 9 cells per mL were used.

Assessment criteria:
The test substance was considered positive in this assay if the following criteria were met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. at least doubling (bacteria strains with high spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 98, TA 100 and E.coli WP2 uvrA) or tripling (bacteria strains with low spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 1535 and TA 1537) of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance was generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the range of the historical negative control data under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria (Ames test) according to OECD Guideline 471, strains of S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA  were exposed to pyranyl acetate pure at concentrations of 0, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2600, and 5200 μg/plate in the presence and absence of the mammalian metabolic activating system S9-mix. 

Pyranyl acetate pure was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations (S. typhimurium TA 1535 > 100 µg/plate, TA 1537 > 333 µg/plate, TA 98 > 1000 µg/plate, TA 100 > 1000 µg/plate) and E. coli WP2 uvrA up to the limit concentration of 5200 µg/plate. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.  

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available experimental test data with pyranyl acetate pure are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. In vitro results with pyranyl acetate pure were negative. As a result the test substance is not considered to be classified for genetic toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the ninth time in (EC) No. 2016/1179.
