- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- In the standard plate test, tubes were filled with 2mL portions of soft agar and kept in a water bath at 45°C. This soft agar consisted of 100 mL agar and 10 mL amino acid solution. As amino acid solution for the soft agar was used 0.5 mM histidine and 0.5 mM biotin for TA strains and 0.5 mM tryptophan for the E. coli strain.
Then following components are added:
0.1 ml test solution or vehicle
0.1 ml fresh bacterial culture
0.5 ml S9 -mix or phosphate buffer
After mixing samples were poured onto Vogel-Bonner (minimal glucose agar plates) plate and incubated for 48 - 72 hrs in the dark at 37°C.
For the preincubation test 0.1 mL test solution or vehicle, 0.1 mL bacterial suspension and 0.5 mL of the S9 mix were incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes. After addition of 2 mL soft agar samples were poured onto agar plates and incubated again at 37°C for 48 to 72 hrs.
For the E. coli strain, plate test differed again in mixture of amino acid solution of the soft agar, the histidine component used for the TA strains being replaced by tryptophan.
Triplicate testing is done. - Evaluation criteria:
- An assay is accepted when the following criteria are met:
1.) number of colonies in the negative control is in the historical control range
2.) no indication of bacterial contamination (checked by sterility control)
3.) number of colonies in the positive controls are in the range of historical control data
4.) titer of viable bacteria is ≥ 10 E+9/mL
Toxicity is detected by:
1.) decrease in the number of revertants
2.) titer reduction
3.) clearing or diminution of the background lawn
Precipitation:
As long as no interference between precipitation and colony counting occurs is 5 mg/plate set as maximum dose even for relatively insoluble compounds.
A test chemical is to be considered as mutagenic when:
1.) increase of number of revertant colonies is reproducible and dose-related.
2.) in at least 1 tester strain doubling of colony counts with or without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system is seen.
A test chemical is to be considered as non-mutagenic when:
1.) the number of revertants is inside the range of historical negative control data in 2 experiments performed independently from each other. - Species / strain:

Cytotoxicity: no cytotoxic effects were seen in the standard plate-incorporation test with and without metabolic activation. In the tests with preincubation but without metabolic activation cytotoxicty occurred at
1.) 1500 µg/ plate (ratio of number of revertants for test and control data < 0.5 ) for strain TA98
2.) 5000 µg/ plate (ratio of number of revertants for test and control data < 0.5 ) for strain E. coli WP2
3.) 2500 µg/ plate (reduced background growth) for strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98
In the tests with preincubation and metabolic activation cytotoxicty occurred at 5000 µg/plate (reduced background growth) for strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98 - Conclusions:
- A test of bacterial gene mutagenicity was conducted for DMPA according to the OECD TG 471 (1997), with following strains: TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA . The test concentrations were 20, 100, 500, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate for the standard plate test with and without S9 mix, and for the first preincubation test with and without S9 mix. The concentrations were 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 µg/plate for second preincubation test conducted without S9 mix.
In none of the tests any mutagenic effect could be detected. Therefore the substance is to be considered as non-mutagenic in bacteria. - Endpoint:

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency; relative survival (RS) - Evaluation criteria:
- Acceptance criteria
The HPRT assay is considered valid if the following criteria are met:
• The absolute cloning efficiencies of the negative controls should not be less than 50% (with and without S9 mix).
• The background mutant frequency in the negative controls should be within our historical negative control data range (95% control limit). Weak outliers can be judged acceptable if there is no evidence that the test system is not “under control”.
• Concurrent positive controls both with and without S9 mix should induce responses that are compatible with those generated in the historical positive control data base and produce a statistically significant increase in mutant frequencies compared with the concurrent negative control.
Assessment criteria
A test substance is considered to be clearly positive if all following criteria are met:
• A statistically significant increase in mutant frequencies is obtained.
• A dose-related increase in mutant frequencies is observed.
• The corrected mutation frequencies (MFcorr.) exceeds both the concurrent negative control value and the range of our laboratory’s historical negative control data (95% control limit).
Isolated increases of mutant frequencies above our historical negative control range or isolated statistically significant increases without a dose-response relationship may indicate a biological effect but are not regarded as sufficient evidence of mutagenicity.
A test substance is considered to be clearly negative if the following criteria are met:
• Neither a statistically significant nor dose-related increase in the corrected mutation frequencies is observed under any experimental condition.
• The corrected mutation frequencies in all treated test groups is close to the concurrent vehicle control value and within the range of our laboratory’s historical negative control data (95% control limit). - Species / strain:
- Chinese hamster Ovary (CHO)
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- no cytotoxicity nor precipitates, but tested up to recommended limit concentrations
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- not applicable
- True negative controls validity:
- not applicable
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Data on pH: small amounts of 37% HCl were added to the stock solution to adjust the pH value
- Data on osmolality: not affected by test substance
- Precipitation and time of the determination: none
- Cell morphology: not influenced by treatment
Repeat experiments:
Experiment 1 was aborted due to a severe shift in the pH value
In experiment 2, a significant increase in mutant frequency in a single concentration (not highest dose) compared to concurrent control was observed. This part was repeated though all obtained values were well within historical control values.
Experiment 3 (repeat experiment) was accidentally carried out without S9 mix
Experiment 4 was the correct repeat experiment. - Conclusions:
- In the absence and the presence of metabolic activation, Dimethyl(propyl)amine is not a mutagenic substance in the HPRT locus assay using CHO cells.

Additional information
In vitro genotoxicity:
A test of bacterial gene mutagenicity was conducted for DMPA according to the OECD TG 471 (1997), with following strains: TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA (BASF AG 40M0164/994067). The test concentrations were 20, 100, 500, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate for the standard plate test with and without S9 mix, and for the first preincubation test with and without S9 mix. The concentrations were 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 1500 µg/plate for the second preincubation test conducted without S9 mix. In none of the tests any mutagenic effect could be detected, indicating that DMPA is not mutagenic in bacteria.
In a study according to OECD 476 (BASF SE 2020), DMPA was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations at the hypoxanthine-guanine phophoribosyl transferase (HPRT) locus in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The highest tested concentration was based on the molecular weight of the test substance corresponding to 10mM. THe cells were treated with DMPA for 4 hours in the absence or presence of rat liver S9. No relevant cytotoxicity was observed. DMPA did not increase the mutant frequencies with or without S9. Positive and negative controls were valid. Thus, DMPA is not mutagenic in the HPRT locus assay.
The potential of DMPA to induce micronuclei in human lymphocytes was assessed in two independent experiments in vitro according to OECD 487 (BASF 2020). Cells were either exposed without metabolic activation (rat liver S9) for 4 or 24 hours, or in the presence of S9 mix for 4 hours. For each experimental group, 1000 binucleated cells each from two parallel cultures were analyzed for cytogenetic damage. The highest applied concentration was based on the molecular weight of the test substance and corresponds to app. 10mM. No cytotoxicty was observed up to the highest concentration. No relevant increase in the numbers of micronucleated cells was observed in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Appropriate positive control substances led to the expected significant increase in micronuclei.
Data for the structurally related substance DMEA (598 -56 -1) are comparable:
Ames: neg.
HPRT: neg.
CA: neg.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for the purpose of classification under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. All mutagenicity / genotoxicity tests conducted with DMPA (Ames, HPRT, MNT) gave negative results. As a result, DMPA does not need to be classified as mutagenic under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the thirteenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2018/1480.
