Description of key information
All methacrylate esters share a common and similar level of chemical reactivity through the C=C double bond and Michael addition, which appears not to be linked to mutagenicity in the case of the other esters. This analysis is consistent with a review of the mutagenic potential of lower alkyl methacrylates and closely related methacrylate esters by Albertini (2017). The review addresses mode of action, similarity of esters and all available test data at the point of publications from reactivity and genotoxicity data to full mutagenicity studies.
Therefore, it is concluded that all constituents of NUMA which all are methacrylic esters, are non-mutagenic in bacterial gene mutation assays.

- METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation assay as described by Haworth et al. 1983, with some differences.
- Salmonella typhimurium strains were obtained from Dr. Bruce Ames (University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A.) and were stored as recommended (Maron and Ames, 1983).

Test conditions:
System of testing:
-Metabolic activation system: S9 from rat liver, induced with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone.
Administration:
-Number of replicates: 2
-Plate per test: 3
-Application: pre-incubation - Evaluation criteria:
- EVALUATION OF RESULTS
The generally accepted conditions for the evaluation of the results are:
- corresponding background growth on both negative controls and test plates
- normal range of spontaneous reversion rates.
Range of spontaneous reversion frequencies*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TA 135 TA 1537 TA 98 TA 100 TA 102
10 - 29 5 - 28 15 - 57 77 - 189 121 - 293
* These values refer to the negative control without metabolic activation and represent our historical control range in 1993.
According to international guidelines a statistical evaluation of the results is recommended. However, no evaluated statistical procedure can be
recommended for analysis of data from the bacterial assays at this time.
A test article is considered positive if either a dose related and reproducible increase in the number of revertants or a significant and reproducible
increase for at least one test concentration is induced.
A test article producing neither a dose related and reproducible increase in the number of revertants nor a significant and reproducible positive
response at any one of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
A significant response is described as follows:
A test article is considered mutagenic if in strain TA 100 and TA 102 the number of reversions is at least twice as high and in strains TA 1535,
TA 1537, and TA 98 it is at least three times higher as compared to the spontaneous reversion rate. Also, a dose-dependent and reproducible
increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential of the test article regardless whether the
highest dose induced the above described enhancement factors or not. - Statistics:
- According to OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the decribed mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not
induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains tested.
Therefore, Isodecyl methacrylate has to be judged as nonmutagenic in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation
according to the Ames test results. - Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria (Ames test), strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100, and TA102 of Salmonella typhimurium were exposed to Isodecyl methacrylate at concentrations of up to 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation S9 -mix.
No toxic effects occurred in the test groups with and without metabolic activation.The plates incubated with the test article showed normal background growth up to ug/plate with and without S9-mix in all strains used. No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 -mix). There was also no tendency to higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.
Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls.
The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains.
There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.
Therefore, Isodecyl methacrylate is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay.
This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for tests for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.

- PRELIMINARY TOXICITY ASSAY
To assess the toxicity of the test substance to the bacteria, 6 doses (1 plate/dose) were tested in the TA 100 strain, with and without S9 mix.
MUTAGENICITY ASSAY
Five dose levels of test article along with appropriate vehicle control and positive controls were plated with overnight cultures of TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 on selective agar in the presence and absence of Aroclor induced rat liver S9. All dose levels of test article, vehicle control and positive controls were plated in triplicate.
TEST PROCEDURE
Plate incorporation method:
One half (0.5) milliliter of S9 or Sham mix, 100 µL of tester strain and 100 µL of vehicle or test article dilution were added to 2.0 mL of molten selective top agar at 45°C. After vortexing, the mixture was overlaid onto the surface of minimal bottom agar.
Preincubation method:
One-half (0.5) milliliter of S9 or sham mix, 100 µL of tester strain and 100 µL of vehicle or test article dilution were added to glass culture tubes. Alter vortexing, these mixtures were incubated with shaking for 60 minutes at 37°C. Following the preincubation, 2.0 mL of selective top agar was added to each tube and the mixture was vortexed and overlaid onto the surface of minimal bottom agar.
When plating the positive controls, the test article aliquot was replaced by the of appropriate positive control. After the overlay had solidified, the plates were inverted and incubated for approximately 48 to 72 hours at 37°C. Revertant colonies for a given tester strain and activation condition were counted by automated colony counter. - Evaluation criteria:
- Acceptance criteria
This study was considered valid because the following criteria were fully met:
. the number of revertants of the controls was within the range of our historical data,
. the number of revertants of the positive controls was higher than that of the controls and was within the range of our historical data.
Evaluation criteria
The following criteria were used as an aid for determining a positive response:
. a reproducible and significant dose relationship using a linear regression analysis, considered as significant if p <= 0.05 (for n = 18 values, the correlation coefficient must be r >= 0.47).
and/or
. a reproducible and significant increase (i.e. a doubling in the number of revertants for at least one of the tested strains when compared to that of the controls) for at least one of the doses.
A test substance is considered as non-mutagenic in this test system if the above two criteria are not fully met.
Biological and statistical significances were considered during the evaluation. - Statistics:

2-ethylhexyl methacrylate in the presence or absence of metabolic activation did not induce any significant increases in the revertant numbers - Executive summary:
A Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay was performed with 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate according to OECD Guideline 471 and GLP. S. typhimurium strains, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 were exposed to five concentrations of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system using the plate incorporation and the preincubation methods. All doses of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, vehicle control and positive controls were plated in triplicate and incubated for 48-72 hours at 37 ºC. The positive controls gave expected responses. 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate was cytotoxic at >= 100 µg/plate without S9, >= 5000 µg/plate with S9 (plate incorporation assay) and >= 250 µg/plate (preincubation assay). Treatment of the S. typhimurium strains with 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate in the presence or absence of metabolic activation did not induce any significant increases in the revertant numbers.

Test conditions:
System of testing:
-Metabolic activation system: S9 from rat liver, induced with phenobarbital and beta-Naphthoflavone.
Administration:
-Number of replicates: 2
-Plate per test: 3 - Evaluation criteria:
- According to international guidelines a statistical evaluation of the results is recommended. However, no evaluated statistical procedure can be
recommended for analysis of data from the bacterial assays at this time.
A test article is considered positive if either a dose related and reproducible increase in the number of revertants or a significant and reproducible
increase for at least one test concentration is induced.
A test article producing neither a dose related and reproducible increase in the number of revertants nor a significant and reproducible positive
response at any one of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
A significant response is described as follows:
A test article is considered mutagenic if in strain TA 100 and TA 102 the number of reversions is at least twice as high and in strains TA 1535,
TA 1537, and TA 98 it is at least three times higher as compared to the spontaneous reversion rate. Also, a dose-dependent and reproducible
increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential of the test article regardless whether the
highest dose induced the above described enhancement factors or not. - Statistics:
- According to OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the decribed mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not
induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains tested.
Therefore, Monomer Mix (Methacrylic acid ester of an alcohol mixture with a average C-number of 14,8) has to be judged as nonmutagenic in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation according to the Ames test results. - Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria (Ames test), strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100, and TA102 of Salmonella typhimurium were exposed to Monomer Mix (Methacrylic acid ester of an alcohol mixture with a average C-number of 14,8) at concentrations of up to 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation S9-mix.
No toxic effects occurred in the test groups with and without metabolic activation.The plates incubated with the test article showed normal background growth up to ug/plate with and without S9-mix in all strains used. No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with at any concentration level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9 -mix). There was also no tendency to higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.
Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls.
The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains.
There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.
Therefore, Monomer Mix (Methacrylic acid ester of an alcohol mixture with a average C-number of 14,8) is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay.
This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for tests for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.

Using a valid scientific method, n-Octyl methacrylate was negative in the presence or absence of metabolic activation for genotoxicity in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay. - Executive summary:
A Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay was performed with n-Octyl methacrylate similar to OECD Guideline 471 (GLP compiance not specified). Salmonella typhimurium strains, TA 97, TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 were exposed to eight concentrations (0 - 10000 µg/plate) of n-Octyl methacrylate in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system using the plate incorporation and the preincubation methods. All doses of n-Octyl methacrylate, vehicle control and positive controls were plated in duplicate and incubated for 48-72 hours at 37 ºC. The positive controls gave expected responses. Treatment of the S. typhimuriums trains with n-Octyl methacrylate in the presence or absence of metabolic activation did not induce any significant increases in the revertant numbers.
Using a valid scientific method, n-Octyl methacrylate was negative for genotoxicity in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay.

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
Further information is included as attachment. Please also see attached justification.
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The constituents of the UVCB substance NUMA (Nonyl-Undecyl methacrylate) are structurally related mono alkyl methacrylate esters differing only in the respective alcoholic moieties. The main proportion of these esters are of the n-type the minor proportion of the iso type. Considering the small amount of iso-types and the negligible differences in (eco-) toxicological properties between the n- and iso types, in this assessment both types of one ester with one specific chain length are assessed together as a whole.

- Metabolic activation:

- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Remarks:
- Based on read across it is concluded that all constituents of NUMA which all are methacrylic esters, are non-mutagenic in bacterial gene mutation assays
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- not determined
- Conclusions:
- Based on read across it is concluded that all constituents of NUMA which all are methacrylic esters, are non-mutagenic in bacterial gene mutation assays.
- Executive summary:
All methacrylate esters share a common and similar level of chemical reactivity through the C=C double bond and Michael addition, which appears not to be linked to mutagenicity in the case of the other esters. This analysis is consistent with a review of the mutagenic potential of lower alkyl methacrylates and closely related methacrylate esters by Albertini (2017). The review addresses mode of action, similarity of esters and all available test data at the point of publications from reactivity and genotoxicity data to full mutagenicity studies.
Therefore, it is concluded that all constituents of NUMA which all are methacrylic esters, are non-mutagenic in bacterial gene mutation assays.
