Evaluation criteria:
A test item will be considered mutagenic (positive) in the test system if one or more of these criteria are met
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby (1979)).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al (1989)).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).
Statistics:
Not specified according to UKEMS

Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

The test substance did not induce mutations (base-pair substitution and frame-shift type) in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 as well as in E. coli WP2 uvr A both in presence and absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested in an Ames test at concentrations upto the preciptation level (5000 ug/plate). In a plate incorporation and a pre-incubation assay (both performed in triplicate), the test substance did not induce mutations (base-pair substitution and frame-shift type) in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537, as well as in E. coli WP2 uvr A both in presence and absence of metabolic activation.
