Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation. The preincubation assay was performed as described previously [Haworth et al, 1983]: The test chemical, Salmonella culture, and S-9 mix or buffer were incubated at 37ºC, without shaking, for 20 min. The top agar was added, and the contents of the tubes were mixed and poured onto the surface of petri dishes that contained Vogel-Bonner medium [Vogel and Bonner, 1956 (preparation: in 670ml distilled water are dissolved, successively: 10g MgSO4·7H2O, 100g citric acid·H2O, 500g anhydrous K2HPO4, 175g NaNH4HPO4·4H2O, the final volume being 1L; this solution is diluted 50x)]. The histidine-revertant (his+) colonies arising on these plates were counted following 2 days incubation at 37ºC. The plates were hand-counted when a precipitate was present; otherwise automatic colony counters were used.
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable):

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth; other: A toxicity assay was performed to determine the appropriate dose range, by using TA100 or the system developed by Waleh (1982), see 'attached background material'.
- Any supplementary information relevant to cytotoxicity: Toxic concentrations were those at which a decrease in the number of his-f colonies was seen or at which there was a clearing in the density of the background lawn. Experiments were repeated at least 1 week following the initial trial.

- OTHER: The S-9 fractions of Aroclor 1254-induced, male Sprague-Dawley rat and male Syrian hamster livers were prepared as described previously [Haworth et al, 1983].

Evaluation criteria:

Data was evaluated as described by Haworth et al., 1983. An individual trial was judged mutagenic (+) if a dose-related increase over the corresponding solvent control was seen, and it was judged weakly mutagenic (+W) if a low-level dose response was seen. A trial was considered questionable (?) if a dose related increase was judged insufficiently high to justify a call of " + W," if only a single dose was elevated over the control, or if a non-dose-related increase was seen. A chemical was judged to be mutagenic (+), or weakly mutagenic (+W), if it produced a reproducible, dose-related increase in his+ revertants over the corresponding solvent controls in replicate trials. A chemical was considered to be questionable (?) if a reproducible increase of hist revertants did not meet the criteria for either a " + " or " + W," or if only single doses produced an increase in his+ revertants in repeat trials.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test item was found to be non-mutagenic.

Executive summary:

The ability of the test item to induce mutation was assessed by the bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames test), performed according to the method described by Haworth, similar to OECD 417. Four histidine dependent strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA97, TA98, TA100) were exposed to 0, 100, 333, 1000, 3333, and 10000 μg/plate of test item in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation (10 and 30% Aroclor 1254- induced hamster liver homogenate and rat liver homogenates), by the preincubation method. Under the experimental conditions used, the test item did not induce an increase in the number of revertants in any strain at any dose level, either with or without metabolic activation. Therefore, the test item was not mutagenic.
