Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance is negative in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

In a Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay according to OECD 471, strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 of S. typhimurium were exposed to the test substance (CAS 91744-23-9) in solvent tetrahydrofurane at concentrations of 50 / 160 / 500 / 1600 / 5000 µg/plate (plate incorporation) in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation (aroclor 1254 induced liver S9 mix). 

There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.
