- The effects of the test material upon the mutation frequency are defined as
-"No effect" or "no increase" in the mutation frequency if the mean frequency of the parallel incubations of a given test material concentration is less than 2.0-fold above the mean of the actual negative controls or the mean mutation falls within the historical range of the negative controls.
-"Clear effect" or "clear increase" in the mutation frequency if the test material induces at least a 3.0-fold increase above the mean of the actual negative controls and the mean mutation frequency for a given test material concentration is at least 1.5-fold above the highest value of the historical negative controls.
-All other results are defined as a "weak effect" or a "weak increase" of the mutation frequency.
Test materials are assessed as negative or non-mutagenic in this test system if:
-the assay is considered valid and -no effect (no increase in the mutation frequency) occurs in the two experimental series performed or
-a weak effect (weak increase) occurs in one series and no effect (no increase) in the other series of experiments.
Test materials are assessed as positive or mutagenic in this test system if:
-the assay is considered valid and -a clear effect (clear increase in the mutation frequency) occurs at similar concentrations of the test material in the two experimental series performed, or
-a clear effect (clear increase) occurs in one series and a weak effect (weak increase) in the other series of experiments at identical concentrations, or
-weak effects (weak increases) occur dose-dependently (over at least two test material concentrations) and reproducibly at identical concentrations in the two experimental series performed.
In all other cases, further decisions for testing strategies should be made following the scientific evaluation of all existing data including those of non-toxicological investigations. - Key result

- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mutagenic activity of the test material by examining its ability to induce TK mutations in L5178Y cells in the absence and presence of a rat liver metabolizing system (S9 mix).
The test material was assayed for its ability to induce mutations at th TK locus (5-trifluorothymidine resistance) in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells using a fluctuation protocol acording to OECD Guideline 476. The study consisted of two independent experimental series, each conducted in the absence and presence of an exogenous metabolizing system (S9 mix from livers of rats pretreated with Aroclor 1254). Acetone was used as the solvent. The exposure times were 3 and 24 hours in the absence and 3 hours in the presence of S9 mix, respectively. Negative (solvent) and positive control treatments were included in each mutation experiment in the absence and presence of S9 mix. Mutant frequencies in negative control cultures fell within normal ranges, and clear increases in mutation were induced by the positive control chemicals 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide (without S9 mix) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (with S9 mix). Therefore, the study was accepted as valid. No relevant increases in mutant frequency were observed following treatment with the test item in the two experimental series in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
Based on the results it is concluded that the test item is non-mutagenic and non-clastogenic in this test system under conditions where the positive controls exerted potent mutagenic effects.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The assessment of test material-induced effects is dependent on the number of spontaneous revertants of each bacterial strain (solvent controls) and the in-crease in the number of revertants at the test material concentration which shows the highest number of colonies.
The following criteria, based upon the historical controls of the laboratory and statistical considerations, are established:
Mean Number of Colonies Maximal Mean Number of Colonies over the Actual
(Solvent Control) (Test Material)
<=10 <=9 >=30
<=30 <=19 >=40
<=80 <=29 >=80
<=200 <=49 >=120
<=500 <=79 >=200
Assessment No increase Clear increase
All further results, ranging between "no" and "clear", are assessed as "weak in-creases". - Evaluation criteria:
- A test material is defined as non-mutagenic in this assay if "no" or "weak increases" occur in the first and second series of the main experiment. ("Weak increases" randomly occur due to experimental variation.)
A test material is defined as mutagenic in this assay if:
- a dose-related (over at least two test material concentrations) increase in the number of revertants is induced, the maximal effect is a "clear increase", and the effects are reproduced at similar concentration levels in the same test system;
- "clear increases" occur at least at one test material concentration, higher concentrations show strong precipitation or cytotoxicity, and the effects are reproduced at the same concentration level in the same test system.In all further cases, a third test series with the bacterial strain in question should be performed. If the criteria for a positive test result are not fulfilled in at least two out of the three series, the test material is defined as being non-mutagenic in this test system. - Key result

- Conclusions:

- Executive summary:
The purpose of this in vitro reverse gene mutation test was to identify agents that cause mutations in bacteria cells and thus providing information on possible health hazards for the test material and serve as a rational basis for risk assessment to the genotoxic potential of the test item in man.
The investigations for mutagenic potential were performed using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA pkM101 in accordance with OECD TG 471. The plate incorporation test with and without addition of liver S9 mix from Aroclor 1254-pretreated rats was used. Two independent experimental series were performed for all strains. A third experimental series was performed with TA 102 and WP2 uvrA pkM101. In the series with S9 mix, 10 % or 20 % S9 in the S9 mix were used in the 1st or 2nd and 3rd series, respectively.
The test material was dissolved in acetone and tested at concentrations ranging from 1.58 to 5000 pg/plate. Precipitation of the test material on the agar plates occurred at concentrations 50 or 500 µg/plate, depending upon the experimental condition tested. Toxicity to the bacteria was not observed. Daunomycin, N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitroso-guanidine, 9-aminoacridine and cumene hydroperoxide served as strain specific positive control compounds in the absence of S9 mix. 2-Aminoanthracene and benzo[a]pyrene were used for testing the bacteria and the activity of the S9 mix. Each treatment with the substances used as positive controls led to a clear increase in revertant colonies, thus showing the expected reversion properties of all strains and good metabolic activity of the S9 mix used.
With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test item was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the mutagenic activity of the test material by examining its ability to induce TK mutations in L5178Y cells in the absence and presence of a rat liver metabolizing system (S9 mix).
The test material was assayed for its ability to induce mutations at th TK locus (5-trifluorothymidine resistance) in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells using a fluctuation protocol acording to OECD Guideline 476. The study consisted of two independent experimental series, each conducted in the absence and presence of an exogenous metabolizing system (S9 mix from livers of rats pretreated with Aroclor 1254). Acetone was used as the solvent. The exposure times were 3 and 24 hours in the absence and 3 hours in the presence of S9 mix, respectively. Negative (solvent) and positive control treatments were included in each mutation experiment in the absence and presence of S9 mix. Mutant frequencies in negative control cultures fell within normal ranges, and clear increases in mutation were induced by the positive control chemicals 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide (without S9 mix) and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (with S9 mix). Therefore, the study was accepted as valid. No relevant increases in mutant frequency were observed following treatment with the test item in the two experimental series in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
Based on the results it is concluded that the test item is non-mutagenic and non-clastogenic in this test system under conditions where the positive controls exerted potent mutagenic effects.
Chromosome aberration in vitro
A read-across approach is applied based on seven category substances. Please refer to the category justification attached in IUCLID Section 7.6.1 (reference 7.6.1 -3). Based on the WoE of all substances in the category, chromosomal aberration in vitro can be regarded negative for the target substance.
