DURATION

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
Evaluation criteria:
The test material is considered mutagenic if two independent treatments with any bacterial strain produce a two-fold increase in the number of revertant colonies over concurrent solvent controls, accompanied by some evidence of a positive dose-response relationship.

The test material is not considered mutagenic if treatment at any dose level with any bacterial strain does not result in reproducible increases of revertant colonies (1.5 times) over the concurrent solvent controls

Additional information on results:
PRELIMINARY RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: 1-hexene when tested at 5000 µg/plate was found to be toxic to the S. typhimurium strains. Hence the 500 µg/plate dose was the highest dose tested in the mutagenicity test.
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.

No significant effects were observed at any dose level, with or without metabolic activation.

Conclusions:
negative

1-Hexene is not mutagenic when tested with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538, with or without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538 of S. typhimurium were exposed to 1-hexene in DMSO at concentrations of 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, or 500 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation using the plate-incorporation method.

1 -Hexene was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations (5000 µg/plate) in a preliminary range-finding study and based on the results, the above mentioned concentrations were tested in the mutagenicity study. No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed subsequent to treatment with 1-hexene at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background or a concentration related positive response observed during the study. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. 

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it is in compliance with GLPs and an accepted concurrent guideline for reversion assays.
