Scientist MIN 314/022208 :5 : MIN 314/022208 SUMMARY In this in vitro assessment of the mutagenic potential of Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF), histidine dependent auxotrophic mutants of Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100, and a tryptophan dependent mutant of Escherichia coli, strain WP2wvrA/pKM101 (CM891), were exposed to the test substance. Two independent mutation tests were performed in the presence and absence of liver preparations from Aroclor 1254-induced rats (S9 mix). Both tests involved a pre-incubation stage in airtight vessels. Concentrations o f Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) up to 5000 pg/plate were tested in the mutation tests. This is the standard limit concentration recommended in the regulatory guidelines that this assay follows. No signs of toxicity were observed towards the tester strains in either mutation test. No evidence o f mutagenic activity was seen at any concentration of Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) in either mutation test. The concurrent positive controls demonstrated the sensitivity of the assay and the metabolising activity of the liver preparations. It is concluded that, under the test conditions employed, Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) showed no evidence of mutagenic activity in this bacterial system. :6: MIN 314/022208 INTRODUCTION This report describes a study designed to assess the mutagenic potential of Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) in a bacterial system. The study was conducted in compliance with the following guidelines: OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals. (1997) Genetic Toxicology: Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test, Guideline 471. EC Commission Directive 2000/32/EC Annex 4D-B. 13/14. Mutagenicity - Reverse mutation test in bacteria. No. L 136/57. US EPA (1998) Health Effects Test Guidelines. OPPTS 870.5100 Bacterial reverse mutation test. EPA 712-C-98-247. Japan Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. (1985) Notification of Director General, Agricultural Production Bureau. NohSan No. 4200. Joint Directives of J EPA, J MHW and J MITI. (31 October 1997) Kanpoan No. 287, Eisei No. 127 and Kikyoku No. 2 (31 October 1997). JMHW Genotoxicity Testing Guideline, PAB Notification No. 1604 (1 November 1999). Official Notice of J MOL. (8 February 1999). The method described was also designed to comply with ICH (1995 & 1997), and followed the recommendations of the United Kingdom Environmental Mutagen Society (Gatehouse et a11990). The in vitro technique described by Ames and his co-workers (Ames, McCann and Yamasaki 1975, Marn and Ames 1983) enables the mutagenic effect of a test substance to be determined by exposing specially selected strains of Salmonella typhimurium to the test substance. Normally S. typhimurium is capable of synthesising the essential amino acid, histidine, but the mutant strains used in this test are incapable of this function. When these strains are exposed to a mutagen, reverse mutation to the original histidine independent form takes place in a proportion of the population. These are referred to as revertants, and are readily detected by their ability to grow and form colonies on a histidine deficient medium (supplemented with biotin, since these strains are also incapable of biotin synthesis). A technique based on similar principles has also been described by Green (1984). This system employs mutant strains of Escherichia coli that are incapable of synthesising the amino acid, tryptophan, which is required for growth. The strains used carry additional mutations that render them more sensitive to mutagens. The S. typhimurium strains have a defective cell coat, which allows greater permeability of test substances into the cell. All the strains are deficient in normal DNA repair processes. In addition, three of them possess a plasmid (pKMIOl), which introduces an error-prone repair process, resulting in increased sensitivity to some mutagens. :7: MIN 314/022208 Many substances do not exert a mutagenic effect until they have been metabolised by enzyme systems not available in the bacterial cell. Therefore, the bacteria and test substance are incubated in both the absence and presence of a supplemented liver fraction (S9 mix) prepared from rats previously treated with a substance (Aroclor 1254) known to induce a high level of enzyme activity. The protocol was approved by Huntingdon Life Sciences Management on 18 July 2001, by the Sponsor on 31 July 2001 and by the Study Director on 15 October 2001. The study was conducted at Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd., Eye Research Centre, Eye, Suffolk, IP23 7PX, England. Experimental start date: 21 November 2001. Experimental completion date: 31 January 2002. :8: Identity: Appearance: Storage conditions: Lot number: Expiry date: Purity: Specific gravity: Date received: MIN 314/022208 TEST SUBSTANCE Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) Clear liquid Room temperature 040227 Sponsor's responsibility; assumed stable for duration of study >95.5% ca 1.8 14 June 2001 :9 : EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE MIN 314/022208 BACTERIAL STRAINS The following strains were used: S. typhimurium TA1535: contains a histidine missense mutation (hisG46) but is also deficient in a DNA repair system (uvrB) and has a defective lipopolysaccharide coat on the cell wall (rfa mutation). It is reverted by many agents causing base-pair substitutions, but is not sensitive to ffameshift mutagens. S. typhimurium TA100: is the same as TA1535 but contains a resistance transfer factor conferring ampicillin resistance and increasing sensitivity to some mutagens (plasmid pKMIOl). In addition to base-pair substitutions, it is also able to detect certain ffameshift mutagens. S. typhimurium TA1537: bears a histidine ffameshift mutation (/zzsC3076). Like TA1535, it is defective in a DNA repair system and lipopolysaccharide coat. It is sensitive to agents causing ffameshift mutations involving insertion or deletion of a single base-pair. S. typhimurium TA98: contains another histidine ffameshift mutation (/zzsD3052). Again it has a defective DNA repair system and lipopolysaccharide coat but also contains the pKMIOl plasmid. It is reverted by agents causing deletion of two adjacent base-pairs (double ffameshift mutations), but not by simple alkylating agents causing base-pair substitutions. E. coli WP2wvrA/pKM 101 : (CM891) contains an ochre mutation. It is reverted by many agents causing A-T base-pair substitutions at the trpE locus or by G-C base-pair substitutions in transfer RNA loci elsewhere in the chromosome. It is also deficient in a DNA repair system (uvrA), and is more readily reverted by certain mutagens than its parent strain WP2. It also contains the pKMIOl plasmid. The strains of S. typhimurium were obtained from the National Collection of Type Cultures, London, England. The strain of E. coli was obtained from the National Collections of Industrial and Marine Bacteria, Aberdeen, Scotland. Batches of the strains were obtained from master stocks held in liquid nitrogen. The test batches were aliquots of nutrient broth cultures and were stored at -80C. Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) was added to the cultures at 8% v/v as a cryopreservative. Each batch of frozen strain was tested, where applicable, for cell membrane permeability (rfa mutation), sensitivity to UV light and the pKMIOl plasmid, which confers resistance to ampicillin. The responses of the strains to a series of diagnostic mutagens were also assessed. For use in tests, an aliquot of frozen culture was added to 25 ml of nutrient broth and incubated, with shaking, at 37C for 10 hours. These cultures were intended to provide approximately 109 cells per ml, which were measured by spreading aliquots (0.1 ml) of a 10`6dilution of the overnight cultures on the surface o f plates o f nutrient agar and counting the resultant colonies. : 10: MIN 314/022208 POSITIVE CONTROLS In the absence o f S9 mix Identity: CAS No.: Supplier: Lot number: Purity: Appearance: Solvent: Concentration: Identity: CAS No.: Supplier: Lot number: Purity: Appearance: Solvent: Concentration: Identity: CAS No.: Supplier: Lot number: Purity: Appearance: Solvent: Concentration: Identity: CAS No.: Supplier: Lot number: Purity: Appearance: Solvent: Concentration: In the presence o f S9 mix Identity: CAS No.: Supplier: Lot number: Purity: Appearance: Solvent: Concentration: Sodium azide 26628-22-8 Sigma Chemical 77H0079 min. 99.5% White powder DMSO (Aldrich, A.C.S. spectrophotometric grade) 0.5 pg/plate for strains TA1535 and TA100 9-Aminoacridine 90-45-9 Sigma Chemical 106F-06681 > 97% Yellow powder DMSO (Aldrich, A.C.S. spectrophotometric grade) 30 pg/plate for strain TA1537 2-Nitrofluorene 607-57-8 Aldrich Chemical Company 80501-24227 98% Beige powder DMSO (Aldrich, A.C.S. spectrophotometric grade) 1 pg/plate for strain TA98 2-(2-Furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl) acrylamide (AF-2) 3688-53-7 Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd.

Mixed function oxidase systems in the rat livers were stimulated by Aroclor 1254, administered as a single intra-peritoneal injection in com oil at a dosage of 500 mg/kg body weight. On the fifth day after injection, following overnight fasting, the rats were killed by cervical dislocation and their livers aseptically removed. The following steps were carried out at 0-4C under aseptic conditions. The livers were placed in 0.15 M KC1 (3 ml KC1 : 1 g liver) before being transferred to a Potter-Elvehjem homogeniser. Following preparation, the homogenate was centrifuged at 9000 g for 10 minutes. The supernatant fraction (S9 fraction) was dispensed into aliquots and stored at -80C or below. Each batch of S9 fraction was tested for sterility and efficacy. Date of preparation: 17 July 2001 (test 1); 15 January 2002 (test 2) PREPARATION OF S9 MIX The S9 mix contained: S9 fraction (10% v/v), MgCl2 (8 mM), KC1 (33 mM), sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (100 mM), glucose-6-phosphate (5 mM), NADPH (4 mM) and NADH (4 mM). All the cofactors were filter-sterilised before use. FORMULATION OF TEST SUBSTANCE The solubility of the test substance was assessed in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), ethanol, acetone and hexane. It was insoluble in DMSO, ethanol and acetone, and was known to be insoluble in water. Although soluble in hexane at 50 mg/ml, the volume of hexane required to administer the test substance at this concentration was found to be too toxic towards the test system. It was, therefore, decided to administer the test substance by direct addition without the use of a solvent. All concentrations cited in this report are expressed in terms of the Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) sample as received. : 12 : MIN 314/022208 MUTATION TEST PROCEDURE First test (range-finding) The test substance was added to cultures of the five tester strains at seven concentrations. The highest concentration o f test substance tested was 5000 pg/plate (obtained by addition of 2.8 pi of the test substance). This is the standard limit concentration recommended in the regulatory guidelines this assay follows. The other concentrations were 2500 pg/plate (1.4 pi), 1750 pg/plate (1.0 pi), 1250 pg/plate (0.7 pi), 700 pg/plate (0.4 pi), 350 pg/plate (0.2 pi) and 175 pg/plate (0.1 pi). Untreated controls and the appropriate positive controls were also included. Following the addition of the above aliquots of the test substance (or 0.1 ml of positive control solution) to airtight glass vessels, 0.5 ml S9 mix or 0.5 ml 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was added, followed by 0.1 ml of a 10 hour bacterial culture. The mixtures were incubated at 37C for 30 minutes with shaking before addition of 2 ml of agar containing histidine (0.5 mM) and tryptophan (0.5 mM). The mixtures were thoroughly shaken and overlaid onto previously prepared Petri dishes containing 25 ml minimal agar. Each Petri dish was individually labelled with a unique code corresponding to a sheet, identifying the contents of the dish. Three Petri dishes were used for each concentration. Plates were also prepared without the addition of bacteria in order to assess the sterility of the test substance, S9 mix and sodium phosphate buffer. All plates were incubated at 37C for ca 72 hours. After this period the appearance of the background bacterial lawn was examined and revertant colonies counted using a Domino automated colony counter. Any toxic effects of the test substance would be detected by a substantial reduction in revertant colony counts or by the absence of a complete background bacterial lawn. In the absence of any toxic effects the top concentration normally used in the second test would be the same as that used in the first. If toxic effects were observed a lower concentration might be chosen, ensuring that signs of bacterial inhibition are present at the top concentration. Ideally a minimum of three non-toxic concentrations should be obtained. If precipitate were observed on the plates at the end of the incubation period, at least four non-precipitating dose levels should be obtained, unless otherwise justified by the Study Director. Second test The second test was an exact repeat of the first test, except that only five concentrations were used. 5000 pg/plate was again chosen as the top concentration. STABILITY AND FORMULATION ANALYSIS The stability of the test substance and the stability and homogeneity of the test substance in the test system were not determined as part of this study. Analysis of achieved concentration was not performed as part of this study. : 13 : MIN 314/022208 ASSESSMENT OF RESULTS Acceptance For a test to be considered valid the mean of the solvent/vehicle control revertant colony numbers for each strain should lie within the 99% confidence limits of the current historical control range of the laboratory unless otherwise justified by the Study Director. The historical range will be maintained as a rolling record over a maximum of five years. Also, the positive control compounds must cause at least a doubling of mean revertant colony numbers over the negative control. Analysis The mean number o f revertant colonies for all treatment groups will be compared with those obtained for the solvent/vehicle control groups. Evaluation If exposure to a test substance produces an increase in revertant colony numbers of at least twice the concurrent solvent/vehicle controls, with some evidence of a positive dose-relationship (increased revertant colony counts at concentrations below that at which the maximal increase is obtained), in two separate experiments, with any bacterial strain either in the presence or absence of S9 mix, it will be considered to show evidence of mutagenic activity in this test system. No statistical analysis will be performed. If exposure to a test substance does not produce an increase in revertant colony numbers in two separate experiments, with any bacterial strain either in the presence or absence of S9 mix, it will be considered to show no evidence of mutagenic activity in this test system. No statistical analysis will be performed. If the results obtained fail to satisfy the criteria for a clear "positive" or "negative" response, even after the additional testing outlined in the mutation test procedure, the test data may be subjected to analysis to determine the statistical significance o f any increases in revertant colony numbers. The statistical procedures used will be those described by Mahon et al (1989) and will usually be analysis o f variance followed by Dunnett's test. Biological significance should always be considered along with statistical significance. It should be noted that it is acceptable to conclude an equivocal response if no clear results can be obtained. DEVIATIONS FROM PROTOCOL Although the protocol indicated that a solvent or vehicle would be employed, it was not possible to obtain a solution or suspension of the test substance that would be compatible with the test system. The test substance was, therefore, added directly to the test system. Since this procedure complies with the test guidelines that this study follows, this deviation does not impact on the integrity o f the study. : 14 : MIN 314/022208 MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS All raw data, samples and specimens (if appropriate) arising from the performance of this study will remain the property of the Sponsor. Types of sample and specimen which are unsuitable, by reason of instability, for long term retention and archiving may be disposed of after the periods stated in Huntingdon Life Sciences Standard Operating Procedures. All other samples and specimens and all raw data will be retained by Huntingdon Life Sciences in its archive for a period of five years from the date on which the Study Director signs the final report. After such time, the Sponsor will be contacted and his advice sought on the return, disposal or further retention of the materials. If requested, Huntingdon Life Sciences will continue to retain the materials subject to a reasonable fee being agreed with the Sponsor. Huntingdon Life Sciences will retain the Quality Assurance records relevant to this study and a copy of the final report in its archive indefinitely. : 15 : MIN 314/022208 RESULTS The results obtained with Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) and positive control compounds are presented in Tables 1 to 10. The mean values quoted have been corrected to the nearest whole number. The absence o f colonies on sterility check plates confirmed the absence of microbial contamination. The total colony counts on nutrient agar plates (see Tables) confirmed the viability and high cell density of the cultures of the individual organisms. The mean revertant colony counts for the solvent controls were within the 99% confidence limits of the current historical control range of the laboratory. Appropriate positive control chemicals (with S9 mix where required) induced substantial increases in revertant colony numbers with all strains, confirming sensitivity of the cultures and activity o f the S9 mix. FIRST TEST (RANGE-FINDING) No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers over control counts were obtained with any of the tester strains following exposure to Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) at any concentration in either the presence or absence of S9 mix. No visible thinning o f the background lawn of non-revertant cells was obtained following exposure to Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF). A maximum exposure concentration of 5000 (ig/plate was, therefore, selected for use in the second test. SECOND TEST No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers over control counts were obtained with any of the tester strains following exposure to Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) at any concentration in either the presence or absence of S9 mix. No visible thinning of the background lawn of non-revertant cells was obtained following exposure to Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF). CONCLUSION It is concluded that, under the test conditions employed, Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride (POSF) showed no evidence of mutagenic activity in this bacterial system. : 16 : MIN 314/022208 REFERENCES AMES, B.N., McCANN, J. and YAMASAKI, E.
