Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Doses of the test substance were tested in duplicate in each strain. According to the OECD guideline the use of duplicate plating is acceptable when scientifically justified, as no toxicity or mutagenicity was observed up to and including the top dose of 5000 µg/plate.
Two independent experiments were conducted.

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 10E8 per plate

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies.

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- The presence of precipitation of the test compound on the plates was determined.

Evaluation criteria:

A test substance is considered positive:
- a clear dose-related increase in the number of the revertant colonies,
- and more than two-fold increase in the number of the revertant colonies compared with the negative control in two indepently repeated experiments.

Statistics:

Not performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The mutagenic activity of the substance X-22-1622 was evaluated according to OECD 471 guideline and GLP principles. It is concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.

Executive summary:

The mutagenic activity of the substance X-22-1622 in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay was evaluated according to OECD 471 guideline and GLP principles. The test was performed in 2 independent preincubation assays, both in the absence and presence of S9-mix.

Precipitation was observed from 625 µg/plate up to the top dose level of 5000 µg/plate and no toxicity was observed. Adequate negative and positive controls were included.

The substance did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His⁺) colonies in each of the four S. typhimurium tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp⁺) colonies in tester strain WP₂uvrA, both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in a repeated experiment for all strains. Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
