Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: each compound concentration including controls is tested in triplicate, without confirmation of negative results by further testing

Evaluation criteria:
SPECIAL ATTENTION WAS GIVEN TO A REPRODUCIBLE DOSE-EFFECT RELATIONSHIP.

A MUTAGENIC ACTIVITY WAS ASSUMED IF AT LEAST A TWO FOLD (FOR TA 100: ONE AND HALF FOLD) INCREASE OF THE NUMBER OF INDUCED REVERTANTS WAS OBTAINED IN COMPARISON WITH THE SPONTANEOUS REVERTANTS OF THE CORRESPONDING CONTROLS.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
DURING THIS IN VITRO SALMONELLA/MAMMALIAN-MICROSOME ASSAY NO GENE MUTAGENIC ACTIVITY COULD BE DEMONSTRATED UNDER THE EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS REPORTED.
Executive summary:

THE TEST ITEM WAS TESTED FOR DETECTING ITS POTENTIAL GENE MUTAGENIC ACTIVITY ACCORDING TO THE PLATE INCORPORATION METHOD OF AMES ET AL. USING THE SALMONELLA THYPHIMURIUM STRAINS TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 AND TA 1538.

THE TEST WAS PERFORMED WITH AND WITHOUT LIVER MICROSOMAL ACTIVATION. THE TEST MATERIAL WAS TESTED AT EIGHT CONCENTRATION: 1.58 / 5 / 15.8 / 50 / 158 / 500 / 1580 AND 5000 µg PER PLATE. EACH COMPOUND CONCENTRATION INCLUDING CONTROLS WAS TESTED IN TRIPLICATE.

A VERY SLIGHT PRECIPITATION OF THE TEST MATERIAL WAS OBSERVED AFTER POURING THE CONTENT OF THE TEST TUBE OVER THE SURFACE OF THE SELECTIVE AGAR PLATE AT THE CONCENTRATIONS OF 1580 AND 5000 µg PER PLATE. THE REVERTANTS WERE EASILY RECOGNIZABLE AND THE PLATES COULD BE EVALUATED.

UP TO THE HIGHEST TESTED DOSE, WITH AND WITHOUT MICROSOMAL ACTIVATION, NO RELEVANT INCREASE OF THE REVERTANT COLONY NUMBERS WAS OBTAINED IN ANY SALMONELLA THYPHIMURIUM STRAIN IN COMPARISON WITH THE CORRESPONDING CONTROLS.

NO TOXIC EFFECTS OF THE TEST MATERIAL WERE OBSERVED.
