- The test substance was tested both in the absence and presence of S9-mix in each strain, in two independent experiments.
The vehicle control and relevant positive controls were concurrently tested in each strain in the presence and absence of S9-mix. To avoid indistinctness about interference of precipitation of the test substance at the colony counting, the solubility of the test substance was assessed at the beginning and end of the treatment period. In parallel selection plates with the highest dose level were used during the incubation period in the second mutation experiment.
Top agar in top agar tubes was melted by heating to 45°C. The following solutions were successively added to 3 ml molten top agar: 0.1 ml of a fresh bacterial culture (109 cells/ml) of one of the tester strains, 0.1 ml of a dilution of the test substance in DMSO, and either 0.5 ml S9-mix (in case of activation assays) or 0.5 ml 0.1 M phosphate buffer (in case of non-activation assays). The ingredients were mixed on a Vortex and the content of the top agar tube was poured onto a selective agar plate. After solidification of the top agar, the plates were inverted and incubated in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0 °C for 48 h. After this period revertant colonies (histidine independent for Salmonella typhimurium bacteria and tryptophan independent for Escherichia coli) were counted. - Rationale for test conditions:
- according to guideline
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the
concurrent vehicle control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537,
TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent
control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is
greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) In case a positive response will be repeated, the positive response should be reproducible in at
least one independently repeated experiment.
A Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and/or Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The negative control data (number of spontaneous revertants per plate) should be within the laboratory historical range for each tester strain.
b) The positive control chemicals should produce responses in all tester strains, which are within the laboratory historical range documented for each positive control substance. Furthermore, the mean plate count should be at least three times the concurrent vehicle control group mean.
c) The selected dose range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate.
d) No more than 5% of the plates are lost through contamination or some unforeseen event. - Key result

- Executive summary:
Evaluation of the mutagenic activity of NECTARYL in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
NECTARYL was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with four histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA100 and TA98) and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with a tryptophan-requiring strain of Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA). The test was performed in two independent experiments in the presence and absence of S9-mix (rat liver S9-mix induced by induced by Aroclor 1254).
The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD, EC and Japanese guidelines.
Batch VE00318744 of NECTARYL was a clear colourless liquid with a purity of 97.1%. The test substance was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide.
In the first mutation assay, NECTARYL was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of 5% (v/v) S9-mix. NECTARYL precipitated on the plates as oily droplets at the dose level of 5000 μg/plate. Toxicity was observed in all tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix, except in tester strain WP2uvrA.
In the second mutation assay, NECTARYL was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of 10% (v/v) S9-mix. NECTARYL precipitated (observed as droplets) on the plates at the dose level of 5000 μg/plate. Toxicity was observed in all tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix, except in tester strain WP2uvrA in the absence and presence of S9-mix and TA1535 in the presence of S9-mix.
NECTARYL did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment.
In this study, the negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that NECTARYL is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.

- Experiment I (with and without S9 mix): 2.2, 4.4, 8.8, 17.5, 35.0, 52.5 and 70.0 µg/mL (4 hours exposure)

The dose range of the first experiment was adjusted to toxicity data generated in the pre experiment In the second experiment, toxicity data of the pre-experiment and the first main experiment were considered. In both main experiments the individual concentrations were generally spaced by a factor of 2.0 in the lower range. A narrower spacing was used at the highest concentrations to cover the cytotoxic range more closely. To overcome problems with possible deviations in toxicity the main experiments were started with more than fom concentrations. - Vehicle / solvent:

- Storage: large stocks of the cleansed L5178Y cell line are stored in liquid nitrogen in the cell bank of Harlan CCR allowing the repeated use of the same cell culture batch in experiments. Each batch is screened for mycoplasm contamination and checked for karyotype stability and spontaneous mutant frequency . Consequently, the parameters of the experiments remain similar because of the reproducible characteristics of the cells. - Rationale for test conditions:

The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline 476 investigate the potential of NECTARYL to induce mutations at the mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase locus using the cell line L5l78Y.
The assay was perfomed in two independent experiments, using two parallel cultures each. The first experiment was performed with and without liver microsomal activation and a treatment period of 4h.The second experiment was performed with a treatment period of 4 hours with and 24 hours without metabolic activation.
The highest concentration of 2260 µg/mL applied in the pre-experiment was equal to approximately 10mM. The concentration range of the main experiments was limited by cytotoxic effects.
No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase in mutant colony numbers was observed in both main experiments. No relevant shift of the ratio of small versus large colonies was observed up to the maximal concentration of the test item.
Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase in induced mutant colonies, indicating that the tests were sensitive and valid.
ln conclusion it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported the test item NECTARYL did not induce mutations in the mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase locus assay using the cell line L5 l 78Y in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
Therefore, NECTARYL is considered to be non-mutagenic in this mouse lymphoma assay.
