Details on test system and experimental conditions:

The test substance Reaction mass of N1,N3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-2-methyl-cyclohexane-1,3-diamine and N1,N3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-4-methyl-cyclohexane-1,3-diamine was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains, i.e. Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in a reverse mutation assay.

Evaluation criteria:

Generally, the experiment was considered valid if the following criteria were met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination
• The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above
• Fresh bacterial culture containing approximately 109 cells per mL were used.


The test substance was considered positive in this assay if the following criteria were met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. at least doubling (bacteria strains with high spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 98, TA 100 and E.coli WP2 uvrA) or tripling (bacteria strains with low spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 1535 and TA 1537) of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.

A test substance was generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the range of the historical negative control data under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information on results:

A bacteriotoxic effect (reduced his- or trp- background growth, slight decrease in the number of his+ revertants) was observed in the standard plate test depending on the strain and test conditions from about 5000 μg/plate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

A relevant increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants (factor ≥ 2: TA 100, TA 98 and E.coli WP2 uvrA or factor ≥ 3: TA 1535 and TA 1537) was not observed in the standard plate test or in the preincubation test without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.

Executive summary:

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance Reaction mass of N1,N3 -bis(3-aminopropyl)-2-methyl-cyclohexane-1,3-diamine and N1,N3-bis(3-aminopropyl)-4-methyl-cyclohexane-1,3-diamine is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay in the absence and the presence of metabolic activation.
