METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The reduction of the bacterial background growth, and decreasse in the number of his+ revertants.
Evaluation criteria:
Evaluation criteria
In general, a substance to be characterized as positive in the Ames test has to fulfill the following
requirements:
- doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate ( compared to the control)
- dose-response relationship
- reproducibility of the results
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was performed.

Additional information on results:
Ames test:
- Signs of toxicity : A bacteriotoxic effect (reduced his background growth, decrease in the number of his+ revertants) was observed only in the preincubation test depending on the strain at doses > 2500 µg/plate.
- Individual plate counts: See attached files
- Mean number of revertant colonies per plate and standard deviation:See attached files

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
An Ames study was performed with TA 1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 following OECD guideline 471, and showed that the test substance Aminoethylethanolamin is not mutagenic in the Ames test under the experimental conditions used.
Executive summary:

An in vitro gene mutation (AMES) test was perfored similar to OECD 471 guideline with strains TA 1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA 100. All bacteria strains showed negative response up to 8000 ug/plate in the standard plate test and up to 5000 ug/plate in the preincubated test, i.e. no significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants with or without metabolic activation was obeserved. Toxicity was observed only in the preincubation test depending on the strain at doses ≥ 2500 ug/plate.

Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Aminoethylethanolamin is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with or without metabolic activation.
