- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: sterile water for injection.
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: compatible with the survival of the bacteria and the S9 metabolic activity.

- no
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- 9-aminoacridine

- Remarks:
- Marked increases in revertant numbers were obtained in these tests following treatment with the positive control items, indicating that the assay system was functioning correctly.
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The preliminary toxicity test and the first experiment were perfomed using a plate-incorporation method.
- Evaluation criteria:
- For the test item to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that the test item Basic Red 29 induces reverse mutation by frameshifts in Salmonella typhimurium (TA1537 tester strain) in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.
- Executive summary:
The test item Basic Red 29 was examined for the ability to induce gene mutations in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, as measured by reversion of auxotrophic strains to prototrophy. The five tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA were used. Experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, using liver S9 fraction from rats pre-treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone. The test item was used as a solution in sterile water for injection.
Toxicity test
The test item Basic Red 29 was assayed in the toxicity test at a maximum concentration of 5000 µg/plate and at four lower concentrations spaced at approximately half-log intervals: 1580, 500, 158 and 50.0 µg/plate. No precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration. Dose-related toxicity was noted with TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 at the two or three highest dose levels, in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. A more pronunced toxic effect was noted with WP2 uvrA, where thinning of the background lawn was observed starting from 158 µg/plate, both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. Large increases in the number of revertant colonies were observed with TA1537 tester strain at slight or not toxic concentrations, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism.
Main Assay
On the basis of toxicity test results, in the Main Assay, using the plate incorporation method, the test item was assayed at the following dose levels:
TA98 without S9: 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125 µg/plate; with S9: 2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5 µg/plate
TA1535 with and without S9: 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.3 µg/plate
TA1537 and TA100 with and without S9: 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.3 µg/plate
WP2 uvrA with and without S9: 250, 125, 62.5, 31.3, 15.6 µg/plate
Toxicity was observed with all tester strains at higher dose levels in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism.
No precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration tested. The test item induced large increases in the number of revertant colonies in TA1537 tester strain, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Since a clear positive response was observed, no further experiment was undertaken.
Conclusion
It is concluded that the test item Basic Red 29 induces reverse mutation by frameshifts in Salmonella typhimurium (TA1537 tester strain) in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.
