Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Test tubes containing 2 ml portions of soft agar which consists of 100 ml agar (0.6% agar + 0.6% NaCl) and 10 ml aminoacid solution (minimal aminoacid solution for the determination of mutants: 0.5 mM histidine + 0.5 mM biotin) are kept in a water bath at 450C, and the remaining components are added in the following order: 0.1 ml test solution /0.1 ml bacterial suspension/0.5 ml S-9 mix (in tests with metabolic activation) or 0.5 ml phosphate buffer (in tests without metabolic activation). After mixing, the samples are poured onto the Vogel-Bonner agar plates (minimal glucose agar plates) within approx. 30 seconds.

DURATION
After incubation for 48 hours at 370C in the dark, the bacterial colonies (his+ revertante) are counted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The substance was tested for in vitro gene mutation in bacteria following OECD 471. Under the experimental conditions the substance shows positive results with metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The analogue substance 1 was tested for mutagenicity to bacteria with strains TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA1538 and TA98 of Salmonella Typhimurium with and without metabolic activation. Positive reactions were detected with metabolic activation for all strains at low doses except for strain TA1535.
