Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
Direct plate incorporation method: For testing in the absence of S9 mix, 100 μL of the tester strain and 50 μL of the solvent or test chemical were added to 2.5 mL of molten selective top agar at 45 ± 2 ºC. When S9 was used, 0.5 mL of S9 mix, 50 μL of tester strain, and 50 μL of solvent or test chemical were added to 2.0 mL of molten selective top agar at 45 ± 2 ºC. After it was vortexed, the mixture was overlaid onto the surface of 25 mL of minimal bottom agar. After the overlay had solidified, the plates were incubated for 48 h at 37 ± 2 ºC.
- Cell density at seeding: Cultures were grown overnight in Oxoid nutrient broth no. 2 and were removed from incubation when they reached a density of 1-2x10e9 cells/mL.

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48h

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): the lack of amino-acid in the medium. Only the mutants can grow due to their capability to synthesize the essential amino acid.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
No toxicity was observed in a preliminary dose range-finding study using strain TA100.




Evaluation criteria:
For the test substance to be considered positive, it had to induce at least a doubling (TA98, TA100, and TA1535) in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one tester strain. This increase in the mean revertants per plate had to be accompanied by a dose response to increasing concentrations of the test substance. If the study showed a dose response with a less than 3-fold increase on TA1537 or TA1538, the response had to be confirmed in a repeat experiment.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The doses that were tested in the mutagenicity assay were selected based on the levels of cytotoxicity observed in a preliminary dose range-finding study using strain TA100. Ten dose levels of the chemical, one plate per dose, were tested in both the presence
and the absence of induced hamster S9. As no toxicity was observed, a total maximum dose of 10 mg of test chemical per plate was used in the main study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
L-fenchone was not mutagenic in all strains tested with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

L-fenchone was tested for mutagenecity on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA102 with and without metabolic activation (S9 mix prepared from both rat and hamster liver). The experiment was performed using the Ames Salmonella assay for mutagenicity. In a preliminary dose range-finding study ten dose levels of the test substance, one plate per dose, were tested in both the presence and the absence of induced hamster S9 using strain TA100. As no toxicity was observed, a maximum dose of 10 mg per plate was used. Based on this preliminary study, the selected doses for the main study were 0, 100, 333, 1000, 3333 and 10000 μg/plate. Ethanol was used as solvent and tested as negative control. Under these experimental conditions, the test substance was found not mutagenic in all strains tested with and without metabolic activation.
