DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY

- Method: relative total growth; Background lawn assessment
Evaluation criteria:
Mutagenicity of the test substance is indicated by an increase in the number of revertant colonies.
Statistics:
Statistical methods: Responses (numbers of revertants) to the test substance were compared to concurrent negative and positive 
controls, as well as to historical data.

Additional information on results:
The test compound was toxic to most of the bacterial strains and precipitate was observed at doses greater than or equal to 2500 ug/plate, both with and without metabolic activation.  Final mutagenicity testing was conducted with 5000 ug/plate as the top dose.  The results of the tests conducted on the test substance in the absence or presence of a metabolic activation system were all negative.
Revertants per plate for positive control substances ranged from 18- 680, depending on the agent and strain.
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

Under test conditions, dimethyldichlorosilane did not demonstrate genetic activity in any of the tests, with or without metabolic activation. The results indicate that the test substance was not considered mutagenic.
