OTHER EXAMINATIONS: Not reported
Evaluation criteria:
There are several criteria for determining a positive result, such as a dose-related increase in revertant frequency over the dose range tested and/or a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations in at least one bacterial strain with or without metabolic activation. Biological relevance of the results will be considered first, statistical methods, as recommended by the UKEMS can also be used to aid evaluation, however, statistical significance will not be the only determining factor for a positive response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Study Summary:

Introduction: This method conforms to the guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Agencies including METI, MHLW and MAFF. It also meets the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 “Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test”, Method B13/14 of Commission Regulation (EC) Number 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and the USA, EPA (TSCA) OPPTS harmonized guidelines.

 

Methods. Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA- were treated with the test material using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000µg/plate in the first experiment. The experiment was repeated on a separate day (pre-incubation method) using the same dose range as Experiment 1, fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test material formulations.

 

Results. The vehicle (tetrahydrofuran) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S-9 mix were validated.

 

The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level and was, therefore tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000µg/plate. A very fine precipitate was noted at 5000µg/plate, this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.

 

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method.

 

Conclusion. The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
