Details on test system and experimental conditions:

Preliminary Cytotoxicity Study
In the cytotoxicity study, the experiment was performed using tester strains TA98 and TA100 in the absence and presence of metabolic activation (5% v/v S9 mix) using plate incorporation method. Eight concentrations of test item were tested in triplicate plates along with vehicle and positive controls.

Main Assay
In Trial I, the assay was performed using the tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 in the absence and presence of the S9 mix (5% v/v S9 mix) using plate incorporation method. Since, there was reduction in number of revertant colonies and background lawn in the cytotoxicity assay from the tested concentration of 156.25 to 5000 µg/plate, the Trial I was performed using all the tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102 along with the vehicle and positive controls in both presence and absence of metabolic activation.
In Trial II, the assay was performed to confirm the negative results. The tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA102 were tested only in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system (10% v/v S9 mix) using the plate incorporation method. Five concentrations of the test item were tested in triplicate plates along with the vehicle and positive controls.

Evaluation criteria:

Acceptance Criteria
The Bacterial reverse mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
- Regular background growth in the solvent control
- The positive control substances should produce a significant increase in revertant colony frequencies
- The spontaneous reversion rates in the solvent control is in the range of historical data.

Statistics:

No formal hypothesis testing will be performed to analyse the data. Once criteria for a valid assay have been met, responses observed in the assay are evaluated as follows:

- Criteria for a Positive Response

Tester Strains TA98, TA100 and TA102
For a test item to be considered positive, it must produce at least a 2–fold increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one of these tester strains over the mean revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control. This increase in the mean number of revertants per plate must be accompanied by a dose response (minimum of 2 to 3 concentrations) to increasing concentrations of the test item.

Tester Strains TA1537 and TA1535
For a test article to be considered positive, it must produce at least a 3–fold increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one of these tester strains over the mean revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control. This increase in the mean number of revertants per plate must be accompanied by a dose response (minimum of 2 to 3 concentrations) to increasing concentrations of the test item.

- Criteria for a Negative Response
A test item for which the results do not meet the above criteria is considered non mutagenic in this test.

Additional information on results:

Trial I
Trial I was performed both in the presence (5 % v/v S9 mix) and absence of metabolic activation system along with the vehicle and the positive control with the test item concentration with a spacing factor of 2. There was no increase in the number of revertant colonies up to the tested concentration of 78.125 µg/plate in the presence (5% v/v S9 mix) and absence of metabolic activation, when compared to the vehicle control. No precipitation was observed from in tested concentration of 78.125 µg/plate both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.

Trial II
Trial II was conducted to confirm the negative results observed in Trial I. For the negative confirmation, the test item concentration with a spacing factor of 2.5 in presence of metabolic activation and concentration of metabolic activation (S9 fraction) was altered to 10% v/v. Trial II was conducted with all the tester strains along with vehicle and positive control. The spontaneous revertant colonies were within the acceptable range and did not show any increase in revertant colonies with respect to dose concentration. No precipitation was observed in the tested concentration of 78.125 µg/plate in the presence of metabolic activation.

Remarks on result:

other: Delmopinolo HCl is non-mutagenic.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

On the basis of the results of this study, it is concluded that Delmopinolo HCl is non-mutagenic as it did not induce (point) gene mutations at histidine locus by base pair changes or frame-shift in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system in all five tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 and TA102.

Executive summary:

Delmopinolo HCl  is non-mutagenic.
