Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
not applicable
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors).
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
The dose range for Experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 g/plate. The experiment was repeated on a separate day (pre-incubation method) using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. The dose range was amended following the results of Experiment 1 and was 5 to 5000 µg/plate. Seven test item concentrations per bacterial strain were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both four non toxic dose levels and the toxic limit of the test item following the change in test methodology
Vehicle / solvent:

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The test item was tested using the following method. The maximum concentration was 5000 g/plate (the maximum recommended dose level). Eight concentrations of the test item (1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 microg/plate) were assayed in triplicate against each tester strain, using the direct plate incorporation method

Any other information on results incl. tables

The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. In the first mutation test (plate incorporation method), the test item caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns and/or substantial reductions in the revertant colony frequency ofSalmonellastrains 5000 µg/plate in the absence of S9-mix and toSalmonellastrains TA100, TA98 and TA1537 in the presence of S9. No toxicity was noted toEscherichia colistrain WP2uvrAat any test item dose level in both the absence and presence S9-mix or to TA1535 in the presence of S9. Consequently the maximum recommended dose level of the test item was employed as the maximum dose in the second mutation test. The test item again induced a toxic response in the second mutation test (pre‑incubation method) with weakened bacterial background lawns noted in the absence of S9-mix from 500 µg/plate (TA1537), 1500 µg/plate (TA100 and TA1535) and at 5000 µg/plate (TA98) and to all of theSalmonellastrains at 5000 µg/plate in the presence S9-mix. As in the first mutation test no toxicity was noted toEscherichia colistrain WP2uvrAat any test item dose level in both the absence and presence S9-mix. The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test item varied slightly between strain type, exposures with or without S9-mix and experimental methodology. 

No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix in both experiments.

There were no increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 1 (plate incorporation method). Similarly, no increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 2 (pre‑incubation method). 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No evidence of mutagenic potential. Crodateric CYAP was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
