DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 to 72 hours at 37 deg.C in the dark
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Doses of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain. Two independent experiments were conducted.
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: The suitable amount of bacteria in the cell suspension is checked by nephelometry.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- In all tester strains a reduced rate of spontaneously occurring colonies as well as visible thinning of bacterial lawn were used as indicator for Toxicity. Thinning of the bacterial lawn was controlled microscopically.
- In combination with the second experiment, toxicity testing was performed as follows: 0.1 ml of the different dilutions of the test compound were thoroughly mixed with 0.1 ml of the 10-6 dilution of the overnight culture of TA100 and plate with histidine and biotin rich top agar (3 plates per dose). The solvent control is compared with the number of colonies per plate in the presence of the test compound. Results are given as a ratio of these values (= surviving fraction)
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- The presence of precipitation of the test compound on the plates was determined.
- Sterility S-9 Mix and the test compound was indicated by the absence of contamination on the test material and S-9 Mix sterility check plates. Control - Evaluation criteria:
- Not indicated. Evaluated for significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in any of the tester strains in absence or presence of S-9 mix.
- Statistics:
- Not indicated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
The negative and strain-specific positive control values indicate that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
It is concluded that this test is valid and that Tallownitrile is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay. - Executive summary:
Talgnitril was tested for mutagenicity with the strains TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA.
The mutagenicity studies were conducted in the absence and inthepresence of a metabolizing system derived from rat liver homogenate. A dose range of 5 different doses from 4 microgram/plate to 5 000 microgram/plate was used.
Control plates without mutagen showed that the number of spontaneous revertant colonies was similar to that described in the literature. All the positive control compounds gave the expected increase in the number of revertant colonies.
Toxicity: The test compound proved to be not toxic to the bacterial strains.5 000microgram/plate was chosen as top dose level for the mutagenicity study.
Mutagenicity: In the absence of the metabolic activation system the test compound did not show a dose dependent increaseinthe number of revertants in any of the bacterial strains. Also in the presence of a metabolic activation system, treatment of the cells with Talgnitril did not result in relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies.
Summarizing. it can be stated that Talgnitril is not mutagenic in these bacterial test systems either with or without exogenous metabolic activation at the dose levels investigated.
