Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:

Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Aroclor induced rat liver S-9 mix

True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: 2-aminoanthracene, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine, 9-aminoacridine chloride monohydrate
Remarks:
With S9: 2-aminoanthracene (all strains), Without S9: N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (TA100, TA 1535), 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine (TA 98), 9-aminoacridine chloride monohydrate (TA 1537)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: standard plate method and preincubation method
- 1st Experiment (standard plate test with and without S-9 mix)
- 2nd Experiment: (standard plate test with and without S-9 mix)
- 3rd Experiment: (preincubation test with and without S-9 mix)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min (preincubation test only)
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: reduced his- background growth, decrease in the number of his+ revertants
Evaluation criteria:
In general, a substance to be characterized as positive in the Ames test has to fulfill the following requirements:
- doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate (control)
- dose-response relationship
- reproducibility of the results.

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Untreated negative controls validity:
not examined
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
No increase in the number of his+ revertants was observed both in the standard plate test and in the preincubation test, either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.

A bacteriotoxic effect (reduced his- background growth, decrease in the number of his+ revertants) was observed depending on the strain and testconditions from about 25 µg - 250 µg/plate onward.

No test substance precipitation was found.
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.
