- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The tester strains used were the Salmonella typhimurium histidine auxotrophs TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 as described by Ames et al. (1975) and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA as described by Green and Muriel (1976).
Tester strains TA98 and TA1537 are reverted from histidine dependence (auxotrophy) to histidine independence (prototrophy) by frameshift mutagens. Tester strain TA1535 is reverted by mutagens that cause basepair substitutions. Tester strain TA100 is reverted by mutagens that cause both frameshift and basepair substitution mutations. Specificity of the reversion mechanism in E. coli is sensitive to basepair substitution mutations, rather than frameshift mutations (Green and Muriel, 1976).
Salmonella tester strains were derived from Dr. Bruce Ames’ cultures; E. coli tester strains were from the National Collection of Industrial and Marine Bacteria, Aberdeen, Scotland

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- All criteria for a valid study were met as described in the protocol. The results of the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay indicate that, under the conditions of this study, 9-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-9-[3-(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-2,5,8,10,13,16-hexaoxa-9-silaheptadecane did cause a positive mutagenic response with tester strains TA100 and TA1535 in the presence or absence of S9 activation. The study was concluded to be positive without conducting a confirmatory (independent repeat) assay because the results were clearly positive; hence, no further testing was warranted.
- Executive summary:
The test substance, 9-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-9-[3-(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-2,5,8,10,13,16-hexaoxa-9-silaheptadecane, was tested to evaluate its mutagenic potential by measuring its ability to induce reverse mutations at selected loci of several strains of Salmonella typhimurium and at the tryptophan locus of Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system. Water was used as the vehicle.
In the preliminary toxicity assay, the dose levels tested were 6.67, 10.0, 33.3, 66.7, 100, 333, 667, 1000, 3333 and 5000 μg per plate. Neither precipitate nor background lawn toxicity was observed. Increases in revertant counts were observed with tester strains TA100 and TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 activation that suggest the presence of mutagenic activity. Based upon these results, the maximum dose tested in the mutagenicity assay was 5000 μg per plate.
In the mutagenicity assay, the dose levels tested were 100, 333, 1000, 3333 and 5000 μg per plate. Neither precipitate nor background lawn toxicity was observed. Positive mutagenic responses were observed (3.1- to 14.8-fold, maximum increase) with tester strains TA100 and TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 activation.
These results indicate 9-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-9-[3-(oxiranylmethoxy)propyl]-2,5,8,10,13,16-hexaoxa-9-silaheptadecane was positive for the ability to induce reverse mutations at selected loci of two strains of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA1535 in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system.
