Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: pre-incubation (Test 1) and in agar (plate incorporation) (Test 2)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: incubated for 72 hrs

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
Duplicate (in Test 1) and triplicate (in Test 2)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
Other: Thinning of background lawn

Evaluation criteria:

A two-fold or more increase in mean revertant numbers must be observed in two consecutive dose-levels or at the highest practicable dose level. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship.

Statistics:

Regression analysis fits a regression line to the data by the least squares method, after root transformation of the plate counts.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: no data
- Effects of osmolality: no data
- Evaporation from medium: no data
- Water solubility: no data
- Precipitation: Precipitation of the test material was noted at 2500 and 5000 ug/plate in both tests, and in the first test also at 1600 ug/plate

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: In the toxicity test, performed using the pre-incubation method, thinning of the background lawn was observed in all strains (with and without S9) at the higher dose-levels, except TA 98.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: yes (with and without S9)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

No evidence of mutagenic activity was detected in S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537, or in Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA, tested with Pt-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane at up to 5000 ug/plate in the presence or absence of a rat liver (S9) metabolic activation system.

Executive summary:

Pt-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane was examined for mutagenic activity in four histidine-dependant auxotrophs of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537) and in Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA, in the absence or presence of S9, using both the pre-incubation method (Test 1) and plate incorporation method (Test 2). The test was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and to GLP.

 

The test material did not induce two-fold increases in the number of revertant colonies in the pre-incubation or plate incorporation assay, at any dose-level, in any tester strain, in the absence or presence of S9. In both tests, precipitation was noted at 2500 ug/plate and above, and also at 1600 ug/plate in test 1. Toxicity, as indicated by thinning of the background lawn, was observed at higher dose levels in all tester strains (with and without S9), except TA98.

 

In conclusion, no evidence of mutagenic activity was detected in S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537, or in Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA, tested with Pt-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane at up to 5000 ug/plate in the presence or absence of S9.
