Evaluation criteria:

Definitions:
The assessment of test material-induced effects is dependent on the number of spontaneous re-vertants of each bacterial strain (solvent controls) and the increase in the number of revertants at the test material concentration which shows the highest number of colonies. The following crite-ria, based upon the historical controls of the laboratory and statistical considerations, are estab-lished:

Mean Number of Colonies
(Solvent Control) 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 ≤ 99 ≥ 200
Assessment: "No Increase" "Clear Increase"
All further results, ranging between "no" and "clear", are assessed as "weak increases".

A test material is defined as negative or non-mutagenic in this assay if
• the assay is considered valid, and
• "no" or "weak increases" occur in the test series performed. ("Weak increases" randomly occur due to experimental variation.)

A test material is defined as positive or mutagenic in this assay if
• the assay is considered valid and
• a dose dependent (over at least two test material concentrations) increase in the number of re-vertants is induced, the maximal effect is a "clear increase", and the effects are reproduced at similar concentration levels in the same test system or
• "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.
There is no requirement for verification of a clear positive response.
In all further cases, a third test series with the bacterial strain in question should be performed and the results of each series should be discussed on a case by case basis.

Executive summary:

Study Design

This GLP study was performed according to OECD TG 471 using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA. 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. In the two series with S9 mix, 10 % S9 in the S9 mix were used in the 1st and 30 % in the 2nd series, respectively.

Results

The test material was dissolved in DMSO and tested at concentrations ranging from 5.00 to 5000 µg/plate. Precipitation of the test material on the agar plates occurred at concentrations ≥ 2810 µg/plate. Toxicity to the bacteria was not observed.
Daunomycin, sodium azide, 9 -aminoacridine, 4 -nitroquinolin-N-oxide served as strain specific positive control test materials in the absence of S9 mix. 2 -Aminoanthracene was used for testing the bacteria and the activity of the S9 mix. Each treatment with the test materials 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.
In both series of experiments, each performed with and without the addition of rat liver S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test material showed no clear increases in the number of revertants of any bacterial strain.

Therefore the test material was not mutagenic in this assay.

Conclusion

With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test material was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
