- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- The test material should be investigated in the first experimental series at seven concentrations, separated by half-log intervals (i.e. a factor of sqrt(10)), usually ranging from 5.00 to 5000 μg per plate. Due to limited solubility of the test material in the solvent used for this investigation, the maximum concentration of 2810 μg per plated could be tested. In the second experimental series, usually 5 concentrations including at least 4 non-toxic concentrations should be tested. Signs of toxicity to the bacteria are a reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants or a clearing of background lawn of nonrevertant bacteria. Precipitation of the test material, if it occurs, should not interfere with scoring of the colonies. Depending upon the precipitation characteristics of the
test material and toxicity data ascertained in the first series, high concentrations may be omitted or lower concentrations may additionally be tested in the second experimental series.
On the basis of the criteria stated above, the following test material concentrations were used for the test item:
1st series: 2.81, 8.89, 28.1, 88.9, 281, 889 and 2810 μg per plate

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS

- Precipitation: yes (≥ 50 µg/plate)
- Other confounding effects: no - Conclusions:
- The test material was non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
The investigations for mutagenic potential were performed using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in a study conducted according to OECD 471. The plate incorporation test with and without addition of liver S9 mix from Aroclor 1254-pretreated rats was used. Two independent experimental series were performed. In the two series with S9 mix, 10 % and 30 % S9 in the S9 mix were used in the 1st and 2nd series, respectively
The test material was dissolved in acetone and tested at concentrations ranging from 2.81 to 2810 µg/plate. Precipitation of the test material on the agar plates occurred at concentrations ≥ 50 µg/plate. Toxicity to the bacteria was not observed.
Daunomycin, N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, 9-aminoacridine and cumene hydroperoxide served as strain specific positive control test materials in the absence of S9 mix. 2-Aminoanthracene and benzo[a]pyrene were used for testing the bacteria and the activity of the S9 mix. Each treatment with the test materials used as positive controls led to a clear increase in revertant colonies, thus, showing the expected reversion properties of all strains and good metabolic activity of the S9 mix used.
In both series performed, there were no treatment related increasing in the mutation frequencies observed with and without metabolic activation.
With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test material was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described. The test material was non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
