The results of the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay indicate that, under the conditions of this study, N-tert-octylacrylamide did not cause a positive response in the presence and absence of Aroclor-induced rat liver S9 mix. - Executive summary:
The in-vitro potential of N-tert-Octylacrylamide for mutagenic activity in the Salmonella - Escherichia coli/Mammalian-Microsome Reverse Mutation Assay with a Confirmatory Assay was studied under GLP according to OECD TG 471. This assay evaluated the test article and/or its metabolites for their ability to induce reverse mutations at the histidine locus in the genome of specific S. typhimurium tester strains and at the tryptophan locus in an Escherichia coli tester strain both in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system of mammalian microsomal enzymes derived from Aroclor-induced rat liver (S9 mix). The doses tested in the mutagenicity assay were selected based on the results of a dose rangefinding study using tester strains TA100 and WP2uvrA and ten doses of test article ranging from 5,000 to 6.67 µg per plate, one plate per dose, both in the presence and absence of S9 mix.
The tester strains used in the mutagenicity assay were Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, TA 1535, TA1537, and Escherichia coli tester strain WP2uvrA. The assay was conducted with six doses of test article in both the presence and absence of S9 mix along with concurrent vehicle and positive controls using three plates per dose. The doses tested were 5000, 3330, 1000, 333, 100 and 33.3 µg per plate in both the presence and absence of S9 mix. The results of the initial mutagenicity assay were confirmed in an independent experiment. The results of the Salmonella - Escherichia coli/Mammalian-Microsome Reverse Mutation Assay with a Confirmatory Assay indicate that under the conditions of this study, N-tert-Octylacrylamide, did not cause a positive increase in the number of revertants per plate of any of the tester strains either in the presence or absence of microsomal enzymes prepared from Aroclor-induced rat liver (S9).
