negative

The test materials, LID-1187A and Histoacryl, were devoid of mutagenic activity under the conditions of test.

Executive summary:

LID-1187A and Histoacryl were examined for mutagenic activity in four histidine-dependent auxotrophs of Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537, using pour-plate assays. The procedures used complied with OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 (issued 1983) and EPA Toxic Substances Control Act Test Guideline § 798.5265 (first issued 1985, amended 1987). Each test, in each strain, was conducted on two separate occasions.

The studies, which were conducted in the absence and presence of an activating system derived from rat liver (S-9 mix), employed a range of levels of both test materials from 25 to 2500 µg per plate, selected following a preliminary toxicity test in strain TA 98. All tests included solvent (acetone) controls with and without S-9 mix.

No increases in reversion to prototrophy were obtained with any of the four bacterial strains following exposure to either LID-1187A or Histoacryl at the levels tested, either in the presence or absence of S-9 mix. Inhibition of growth, observed as thinning of the background lawn of non-revertant cells and reduction in revertant colony numbers, occurred in all strains following exposure to both test materials at 2500 ug per plate.

Marked increases in the number of revertant colonies were induced by the known mutagens benzo[a]pyrene, 2-nitrofluorene, 2-aminoanthracene, 9-aminoacridine and sodium azide when examined under similar conditions.

It was concluded that both LID-1187A and Histoacryl were devoid of mutagenic activity under the conditions of the test.
