SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): minimal agar

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate plates; 2 independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: condition of bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
For the test article to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article.
Data sets for TA 1535 and TA 1537 were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants is ≥ 3x the mean vehicle control value.
Data sets for TA 98, TA 100 and WP2 uvrA were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants is ≥ 2x the mean vehicle control value.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
3-Trimethoxysilylpropane-1-thiol has been tested in a valid bacterial reverse mutation assay, according to the OECD TG 471 (1989), and under GLP, using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 or E.coli WP2 uvrA.
No increase in the number of revertants was observed in any test strain, with or without metabolic activation. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were added and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
