Description of key information

Reverse gene mutation assay was conducted in line with Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity

Testing of Chemicals (Japan) and OECD Test Guidelines 471 and 472, using the pre-incubation

method. This study was well controlled and regarded as a key study.

Dibutyl adipate showed negative results in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98,

TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA at concentrations up to 5 mg/plate with or without a

metabolic activation system (MHW, 1996b).

A chromosomal aberration test in line with Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of

Chemicals (Japan) and OECD Test Guideline 473 was conducted using cultured Chinese Hamster

lung (CHL/IU) cells. This study was well controlled and regarded as a key study. The maximum

concentration of the chemical was used within no apparent cytotoxic effect in continuous treatment.

In short term treatment, it was set to 2.6 mg/ml because the concentration was equivalent to ca. 10

mM as required in the test guidelines. Structural chromosomal aberrations were observed with

metabolic activation (MHW, 1996b).
