negative
Palladium (II) sulphate hydrate did not cause an increase in mutation frequency when tested at up to the limits of cytotoxicity, either with or without S9, in a guideline (GLP) bacterial reverse mutagenicity assay. - Executive summary:
In a OECD Test Guideline 471 study, to GLP, the mutagenic potential of palladium (II) sulphate hydrate was assessed in a reverse mutagenicity assay (Ames test) using the S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA.
Two independent experiments (each in triplicate) were carried out using the preincubation method, both with and without S9. A preliminary range-finding study had shown the test substance to be cytotoxic at doses at and above 78 and 313 μg/plate, respectively, without and with S9. In consequence these were the top doses tested.
Palladium (II) sulphate hydrate did not cause an increase in mutation in these studies, either with or without S9. In contrast, the known mutagens used as positive controls showed the expected mutagenic activity.

Mode of Action Analysis / Human Relevance Framework
No data identified.
Additional information
No studies conducted in humans were identified.
In an OECD Test Guideline 471 study, to GLP, the mutagenic potential of palladium (II) sulphate hydrate was assessed in a reverse mutagenicity assay (Ames test) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA. At the limit of cytotoxicity (78 and 313 μg/plate, respectively, without and with S9), palladium (II) sulphate hydrate did not cause an increase in mutation frequency. In contrast, the known mutagens used as positive controls showed the expected mutagenic activity (Sarada, 2008).
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
OECD guideline study, to GLP, and the only in vitro genetic toxicity study available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
No evidence of genotoxic activity was seen in a reliable mutagenicity assay in bacterial cells. No studies specifically assessing the mutagenic activity in germ cells were identified. However, the available evidence provides no basis for classifying palladium sulphate for germ cell mutagenicity, according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
