Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
rat liver S9 mix
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Dose finding test: with and without S9 mix: 4.88, 19.5, 78.1, 313, 1250, 5000 (µg/plate)
Main test with and without S9 mix: 313, 625, 1250, 5000 (µg/plate)
Confirmation test: with strain TA1537 with and without S9 mix: 313, 625, 1250, 5000 (µg/plate)

Positive controls without S9 mix:
AF-2: 2-(2-Furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide: 0.01 µg/plate (TA100, WP2uvrA), 0.1 µg/plate (TA98)
NaN3: Sodium azide: 0.5 µg/plate (TA1535)
ICR-191: 2-Methoxy-6-chloro-9-[3-(2-chloroethyl)-aminopropy1amino]acridine' 2HCl: 1 µg/plate (TA 1537)

Positive controls with S9 mix:
AF-2: 2-(2-Furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide: 0.01 µg/plate (TA100, WP2uvrA), 0.1 µg/plate (TA98)

Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle:
Since the solubility of the test substance was less than 50 mg/mL in water but more than 50 mg/mL in DMSO, DMSO was selected as a solvent. It was confirmed that there was no change in the 50 mg/mL solution in DMSO, including color change and heat generation, until 2 hours after preparation.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Remarks:
The solvent used in the tests was employed as a negative control
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
sodium azide
other: 2(2-Furyl)3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (AF-2); 2-Aminoanthracene (2AA)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
This study was performed by the pre-incubation method with and without S9 mix. Triplicate plates were used for the negative control group and duplicate plates per dose for the test substance treatment groups and the positive control groups. The test code number, name of test strain, presence or absence of S9 mix and dose level were noted on each plate.
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance was judged to be positive when the number of revertant colonies of the test substance treatment groups increased to twice or more that in the negative control with a concentration-dependent manner.
Statistics:
Any statistical methods were not used.

Additional information on results:
Confirmation test:
The number of revertant colonies in the test substance treatment groups was less than twice than in the negative control and in the groups with and without S9 mix in TA1537. Therefore, the increase of the number of revertant colonies in the main test was not confirmed dose-dependend and reproducible and due to the value of negative controls were low in the main test it was judged as an accidental increase result. The number of revertant colonies of the test substance treatment group in the main test was within the range of the historical data. From the above results, mutagenisity was judged to be negative in TA1537.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

Based on the above results, it is concluded that the registered substance has no ability to induce mutation under the conditions of the present study.
Executive summary:

The ability of registered substance to induce mutations was investigated using Salmonella typhimurium strains TAl00, TA1535, TA98 and TAl537 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA with a pre-incubation method in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (S9 mix).

As a result, increase in the numbers of revertant colonies was not observed at any doses of the test substance treatment group in all test strains with and without S9 mix.

The numbers of revertant colonies in the negative and positive controls were confirmed to be within the range of the historical data in the testing facility. Based on the above results, it is concluded that the registered substance has no ability to induce mutation under the conditions of the present study.
