Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats treated with Aroclor 1254
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Preliminary Toxicity Test: 0, 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Main test:
Experiment 1: 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Experiment 2: 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: sterile distilled water
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item was insoluble in dimethyl sulphoxide at 50 mg/mL and acetone at 100 mg/mL but was fully soluble in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL in solubility checks performed in-house. Sterile distilled water was therefore selected as the vehicle.

Positive control substance:

other: 2- aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Experiment 1: in agar (plate incorporation), Experiment 2: pre-incubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period for bacterial strains: 20 min at 37 °C
- Exposure duration: 48 hrs

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Triplicate plating.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: plates were assessed for numbers of revertant colonies and examined for effects on the growth of the bacterial background lawn.
Evaluation criteria:
There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested.
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data.
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).
A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Although most experiments will give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgement about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviation were calculated.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: The test item was fully soluble in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL.
- Precipitation: No test item precipitate was observed at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A preliminary toxicity test with S. typhimurium strain TA100 and E. coli WP2uvrA was carried out to determine the toxicity of the test item. The concentrations tested were 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate. The test item induced toxicity to TA100 from 1500 µg/plate onwards and was non-toxic to WP2uvrA.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
The number of revertant colonies in the vehicle, untreated and positive controls was within the ranges of the reported history profile of vehicle (combined historical negative and solvent control ranges) and positive control values of the testing facility for the two last calendar years.
