EC Name:
-
Cas Number:
125248-71-7
Molecular formula:
C39H44O10

2-methyl-4-(4-{[6-(prop-2-enoyloxy)hexyl]oxy}benzoyloxy)phenyl 4-{[6-(prop-2-enoyloxy)hexyl]oxy}benzoate
Test material form:
solid

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Liver S9-Mix from Aroclor 1254-pretreated rats
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
First experiment: 0.5, 1.58, 5, 15.8, 50, 158, and 500 µg/plate
Second experiment: 5, 15.8, 50, 158, and 500 µg/plate

The highest concentration of 500 µg/plate was chosen as higher concentrations were not soluble in the solvent.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle/solvent used: acetone
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Historical data of the laboratory and experience of other research groups (Maron et al. 1981) showed that such amounts of the selected solvents have no influence on the number of spontaneous revertants of any strain.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Remarks:
Acetone
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
9-aminoacridine
N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
benzo(a)pyrene
cumene hydroperoxide
other: 2-Aminoanthracene, Daunomycin
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 hours
-
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: three

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants, clearing of background lawn of non-revertant bacteria


Evaluation criteria:
A test material is defined as non-mutagenic in this assay if
- "no" or "weak increases" occur in the first and second series of the main experiment.
("Weak increases" randomly occur due to experimental variation.)

A test material is defined as mutagenic in this assay if
- a dose-related (over at least two test material concentrations) increase in the number of revertants is induced, the maximal effect is a "clear increase", and the effects are reproduced at similar concentration levels in the same test system;

- "clear increases" occur at least at one test material concentration, higher concentrations show streng precipitation or cytotoxicity, and the effects are reproduced at the same concentration level in the same test system.

In all further cases should a third test series with the bacterial strain in question be performed. lf the criteria for a positive test result are not fulfilled in at least two out of the three series, the test material is defined as being non-mutagenic in this test system.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Precipitation occurred at the highest contration tested 500 µg/plate.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: The test material was investigated in the first experimental series at seven concentrations, separated by half-log intervals, ranging from 0.5 to 500 μg per plate. Higher concentrations were not soluble in the solvent used. In the second experimental series, usually 5 concentrations including at least 4 non-toxic concentrations should be tested.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
With and without addition of S9-Mix as the external metabolizing system, the test item was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
Executive summary:

The investigations for mutagenic potential were performed using Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535, and TA 1537 as tester strains. The plate incorporation test with and without addition of liver S9-Mix from Aroclor 1254- pretreated rats was used.

The test material was tested in two series of experiments at concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 500 μg/plate. Higher concentrations were not soluble in the solvent used. Precipitation of the test material on the agar plates was macroscopically visible at the highest concentration used (500 μg/plate). Toxicity to the bacteria was not observed.

Daunomycin, N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, 9-aminoacridine and cumene hydroperoxide served as strain specific positive control compounds in the absence of S9-Mix. 2-Aminoanthracene and benzo[a]pyrene were used for testing the bacteria and the activity of the S9-Mix. Each treatment with the substances used as positive controls led to a clear increase in revertant colonies, thus showing the expected reversion properties of all strains and good metabolic activity of the S9-Mix used. With and without addition of S9-Mix as the external metabolizing system, the test material was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
