Test material
Reference
- Name:
- Unnamed
- Type:
- Constituent
- Test material form:
- other: fine dust
Method
- Target gene:
- Histidine; tryptophan.
The Salmonella typhimurium histidine (his) reversion system measures his- → his+ reversions. The Salmonella typhimurium strains are constructed to differentiate between base-pair (TA1535, TA100) and frameshift (TA1537, TA98) mutations. The Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA tryptophan (trp) reversion system measures trp- → trp+ reversions. The Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA detects mutagens that cause base-pair substitutions (AT to GC).
Species / strain
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Liver extract S9 fraction was obtained from rats, which were pre-treated with phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone.
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- 5000, 1581, 500, 158.1, 50, 15.81 and 5 μg/plate in the Initial Mutation Test and Confirmatory Mutation Test.
In the Range Finding Test the concentrations examined were: 5000, 2500, 1000, 316, 100, 31.6 and 10 μg/plate. - Vehicle / solvent:
- DMSO was used as vehicle (solvent) to prepare the stock formulation of the test material.
Based on the available information, the test item is insoluble in Distilled water. Therefore, the solubility of the test item was examined in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Acetone and N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF). The test item was insoluble in the examined solvents at 100 and 50 mg/mL concentrations; however, the formulations of 50 mg/mL were suitable for the test. Due to the better biocompatibility to the test system, DMSO was selected for vehicle (solvent) of the study. The obtained stock formulation (100 μL) with the solution of top agar and phosphate buffer was examined in a test tube without test bacterium suspension.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The study included a Preliminary Solubility Test, a Preliminary Range Finding Test, an Initial Mutation Test and a Confirmatory Mutation Test. In the Range Finding Test as well as in the Initial Mutation Test, the plate incorporation method was used. In the Confirmatory Mutation Test, the pre-incubation method was used.
Procedure for Exposure in the Initial Mutation Test
A standard plate incorporation procedure was performed, as an Initial Mutation Test. Bacteria (cultured in Nutrient Broth No.2) were exposed to the test item both in the presence and absence of an appropriate metabolic activation system.
Molten top agar was prepared and kept at 45°C. 2 mL of top agar was aliquoted into individual test tubes (3 tubes per control or concentration level). The equivalent number of minimal glucose agar plates was properly labelled. The test item formulations and other components were prepared freshly and added to the overlay (45°C).
The content of the tubes:
top agar 2000 μL
solvent or test item formulation (or reference controls) 100 (50) μL
overnight culture of test strain 100 μL
phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) or S9 mix 500 μL
This solution was mixed and poured on the surface of minimal agar plates. For activation studies, instead of phosphate buffer, 0.5 mL of the S9 mix was added to each overlay tube. The entire test consisted of non-activated and activated test conditions, with the addition of untreated, negative (solvent) and positive controls. After preparation, the plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours.
Procedure for Exposure in the Confirmatory Mutation Test
A pre-incubation procedure was performed as a Confirmatory Mutation Test since in the Initial Mutation Test no positive effect was observed.
Before the overlaying, the test item formulation (or solvent or reference control), the bacterial culture and the S9 mix or phosphate buffer was added into appropriate tubes to provide direct contact between bacteria and the test item (in its solvent). The tubes (3 tubes per control or concentration level) were gently mixed and incubated for 20 min at 37ºC in a shaking incubator.
After the incubation period, 2 mL of molten top agar was added to the tubes; the content was mixed up and poured onto minimal glucose agar plates as described for the standard plate incorporation method. The entire test consisted of non-activated and activated test conditions, with the addition of untreated, negative (solvent) and positive controls. After preparation, the plates were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours. - Evaluation criteria:
- The study was considered valid if:
- the number of revertant colonies of the negative (solvent) and positive controls were in the historical control range in all strains of the main tests;
- at least five analyzable concentrations were presented in all strains of the main tests.
A test item was considered mutagenic if:
- a dose–related increase in the number of revertants occurred and/or;
- a reproducible biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurred in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.
An increase was considered biologically relevant if:
- the number of reversions was more than two times higher than the reversion rate of the negative (solvent) control in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA bacterial strains;
- the number of reversions was more than three times higher than the reversion rate of the negative (solvent) control in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 and TA1537 bacterial strains.
Criteria for a Negative Response:
A test article is considered non-mutagenic if it produces neither a dose-related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups, with or without metabolic activation. - Statistics:
- According to the guidelines, statistical method may be used as an aid in evaluating the test results. However, statistical significance should not be the only determining factor for a positive response.

negative
The substance had no mutagenic activity in the bacterium tester strains under the test conditions used in this study - Executive summary:
The substance was tested for potential mutagenic activity using the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay. The experiments were carried out using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of a post mitochondrial supernatant (S9 fraction) prepared from the livers of phenobarbital/β-naphthoflavone-induced rats. The study included a Preliminary Solubility Test, a Preliminary Range Finding Test, an Initial Mutation Test (Plate Incorporation Method) and a Confirmatory Mutation Test (Pre-Incubation Method). Based on the results of the Solubility Test, the test item was dissolved in DMSO. Concentrations of 5000; 2500; 1000; 316; 100; 31.6 and 10 μg/plate were examined in the Range Finding Test. Based on the results of the Range Finding Test, the test item concentrations in the Initial Mutation Test and Confirmatory Mutation Test were 5000, 1581, 500, 158.1, 50, 15.81 and 5 μg/plate.
In the Initial Mutation Test and Confirmatory Mutation Test, none of the observed revertant colony numbers were above the respective biological threshold value. There were no consistent dose-related trends and no indication of any treatment effect. In all test item treated groups, the numbers of revertant colonies were below the biological relevance when compared with the solvent controls and were within the historical control range and were within the normal biological variability of the test system.
Precipitate was observed in both main tests in all examined strains with and without metabolic activation at the highest examined concentration (5000 μg/plate).
No signs of cytotoxicity were observed in the main tests.
The mean values of revertant colonies of the solvent control plates were within the historical control range, the reference mutagens showed the expected increase in the number of revertant colonies, the viability of the bacterial cells was checked by a plating experiment in each test. At least five analysable concentrations were presented in all strains of the main tests. The tests were considered to be valid.
The reported data of this mutagenicity assay show that under the experimental conditions applied the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.
In conclusion, the test item had no mutagenic activity in the bacterium tester strains under the test conditions used in this study.
