Conclusions:
EDTMP-Ca-Na salt has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a study, conducted according to a protocol that is similar to OECD Test Guideline 471, but prior to GLP. No increase in the number of revertants was observed when Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 were tested up to cytotoxic concentrations with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate positive, negative and solvent controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar plate incorporation; preincubation;


DURATION
- Preincubation period: 1 hour
- Exposure duration: 72 hours


NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates. Initial plate incorporation assay was repeated using the pre-incubation method.


DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
A reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants (below the induction factor of 0.5) or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn.

The bacteria used in this assay do not possess the enzyme systems which, in mammals, are known to convert promutagens into active DNA damaging metabolites. In order to overcome this major drawback an exogenous metabolic system is added in form of mammalian microsome enzyme activation mixture.

Phenobarbital/b-naphthoflavone induced rat liver S9 will be used as the metabolic activation system. The S9 is prepared from 8 – 12 weeks old male Wistar rats (Hsd Cpb: WU; weight approx. 220 – 320 g, Harlan Laboratories B. V., 5960 AD Horst, The Netherlands) induced by intraperitoneal applications of 80 mg/kg b.w. phenobarbital (Desitin; 22335 Hamburg, Germany) and by peroral administrations of b-naphthoflavone (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, 82024 Taufkirchen, Germany) each, on three consecutive days. The livers are prepared 24 hours after the last treatment. The S9 fractions are produced by dilution of the liver homogenate with a KCl solution (1+3 parts) followed by centrifugation at 9000 g. Aliquots of the supernatant are frozen and stored in ampoules at –80 °C. Small numbers of the ampoules can be kept at –20 °C for up to one week. Each batch of S9 mix is routinely tested with 2-aminoanthracene as well as benzo[a]pyrene.
The protein concentration in the S9 preparation was 39.5 mg/ml (lot no. R 260412) in both experiments.

Before the experiment an appropriate quantity of S9 supernatant was thawed and mixed with S9 cofactor solution. The amount of S9 supernatant was 10% v/v in the S9 mix. Cofactors are added to the S9 mix to reach the following concentrations in the S9 mix:
8 mM MgCl2
33 mM KCl
5 mM Glucose-6-phosphate
4 mM NADP
in 100 mM sodium-ortho-phosphate-buffer, pH 7.4.



Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed.
A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

Conclusions:
EDTMP-xNa has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP. No increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without activation in either the initial plate incorporation assay or the repeat experiment using pre-incubation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 102. Appropriate positive, solvent and untreated controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The test item EDTMP, pH-neutral was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 102.

The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration and the controls, were tested in triplicate. The test item was tested at the following concentrations:

3; 10; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 µg/plate

The plates incubated with the test item showed normal back­ground growth up to 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix in both independent experiments..

Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the induction factor of 0.5), were observed at the following concentrations (µg/plate):

HMDTMP-xNa has been tested in bacterial reverse mutation assay, according to a protocol that is similar to OECD Test Guideline 471, but not in compliance with GLP. The substance was tested on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98 and TA 100. No increase in the number of revertants was observed at any concentration with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate untreated, solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results (Department of Biochemistry, University of Birmingham, 1981).

HMDTMP-acid has been tested in bacterial reverse mutation assay, according to a protocol that is similar to OECD Test Guideline 471, but prior to GLP. Full details are not included in the summary report available. No evidence of mutagenicity was observed at any concentration in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 1538 with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results (Monsanto, 1976).

No data are available for HMDTMP for mutagenicity to a bacterial strain capable of detecting cross-linking or oxidising mutagens. In view of the lack of genetic toxicity demonstrated in studies on mammalian cells, and the absence of structural features that indicate that such mutagenicity is likely, testing in an appropriate 5th strain is not considered necessary. In addition, the results from genetic toxicity assays on substances in the aminomethylenephosphonates analogue group do not indicate that these substances are mutagenic, and include bacterial mutagenicity studies using an appropriate 5th strain studies on DTPMP Category members and EDTMP Category members. All these results were negative.
