Method

Target gene:

Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor-supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats, treated with phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Prior to the main experiments, a range-finder study was performed using the TA 98 and TA 100 strains with following test concentrations: 5, 16, 50, 160, 500, 1600 and 5000 µg/plate; testing was done in presence and absence of S9 mix. Precipitation was noticed at both, 1600 and 5000 µg/plate, in absence and presence of S9 mix; however, precipitation did not disturb the scoring at 1600 µg/plate. Therefore, 1600 µg/plate was selected as top concentration to be tested within the main experiments.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the good solubility of the test substance in DMSO and its compatibility with the bacteria and the S9 mix activity, DMSO was selected as the vehicle.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) (Range Finding Test and first experiment); preincubation (second, confirmatory experiment)

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

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: revertant colony number and inspection of the bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance criteria
The study was considered valid if:
- the phenotypes of the tester strains could be confirmed
- the number of revertant colonies of the negative (solvent) and positive controls were in the historical control range in all strains
- the tester strain culture titers are in the 10^9 cells/mL order
- the batch of S9 used in this study shows the appropriate biological activity
- the reference mutagens show an increase of at least: 3-fold in induced revertant colonies over the mean value of the respective vehicle control
- at least five analyzable concentrations were presented in all strains of the main tests (a minimum of three non-toxic dose levels is required to evaluate assay data)

Evaluation criteria
When the test substance shows a biologically relevant and dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies of more than two times (TA 100) or three times (TA 98, TA 1535, TA 1537 and WP2 uvrA) compared to that of the solvent control, the response is judged to be positive. Additionally, the positive response should be reproducible for at least one of the dose groups and should occur in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation. The biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results is therefore not regarded as necessary.

The test item is considered to have no mutagenic activity in bacteria if it produces neither a dose-related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups, with or without metabolic activation.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviations were calculated.
