Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Alpha-Lipoic acid is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium standard strains TA 100, TA98, TA1535, TA1537 and TA 102 with and w/o S-9 mix.
The observed extremely weak effect of alpha-Lipoic acid only with metabolic actication is lower than it is with physiological endigenous compounds like L-systeine and glutathione.
Alpha-Lipoic acid is considered negative in the Salmonella Typhimurium Reverse Mutation Assay
