Additional mutations in the defective genes can result in individual Salmonella bacteria regaining the ability to synthesize histidine.(1) A trace of histidine in the top agar permits several generations of auxotrophic cell division to fix pro-mutagenic lesions. This results in the formation of a microscopic "lawn" of bacteria. However, only those bacteria that revert to a prototrophic state can continue to divide and form macroscopic colonies. These revertants can be scored by their ability to grow on agar plates deficient in histidine. By comparing the number o f chemically induced revertants to the number of spontaneous revertants, the mutagenicity o f the test substance can be assessed.
MATERIALS AND METHODS A. STUDY PROTOCOL The protocol consisted ofcthe Short Term Study Protocol Sheet and the Haskell General Testing P roced u rejH H B H ft'B acterial Mutagenicity Testing of Solids, Liquids, and Gases", effective 571/97). B. TEST MATERIALS
1. Test Substance and Negative Control The test substance is H-22762. Additional information regarding the test substance is found on the general information page of this report. The test substance was assumed to be stable during this assay and no evidence of instability was observed. Based on information supplied by the sponsor, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was chosen as the test ssuubbssttaannccee saotl5v0enmtga/nmdLasretqhueinreedgastoinveiccaotinotnrotlo. mPareinptaariantihoonmoofgtheenesittoyckansdolsuotliuobniloitfyt.heAtdedstitional dilutions of the test substance were performed at room temperature in DMSO. The negative control was assumed to be stable during this study, and no evidence of instability was observed. Any impurities were not expected to have interfered with the study.
2. Positive Controls Positive controls included the following: 2-aminoanthracene (2AA), 2-nitrofluorene (2NF), sodium azide (NAAZ), ICR 191 Acridine (ICR 191). Deionized water was the solvent for NAAZ and ICR 191. The solvent for the other positive controls was DMSO. The positive controls were assumed to be stable in this study and no evidence of instability was observed. Any impurities were not expected to have interfered with the study.

The deletion (A) in uvrB (a gene which codes for DNA excision repair) increases the bacterial sensitivity to mutagens.(3) The uvrB trait is confirmed by demonstrating an increased bacterial mbpseaioonrtltsieiinactliubvlloiietosysssyitsionnitunhtlhcetrerseaiisanv,sitteoehdlgeert(biAtlaiygmcohteetfs.rtiheaBtereaelciqlpa,uoui1psr9eoe7ltey3hxs)iao.scgdTceehnhlaoeertupiiosdrnebesi(aeoLlntsPiocneSef)oxocftreetgnlhlrdeowswRatth-lhflra.socoutTogthrhheapatrlafpgaseemnrmmeidunet(aaepbetlidiaoleisntmdycfaitdoourslaersgae pKMIOl which carries ampicillin resistance as a marker gene) results in an enhancement of an error-prone DNA repair system which is endogenous to these bacteria.(4) Although the testing guidelines cited require S. typhimurium strain TA1537, the more recently developed TA97a strain was used. TA97 was the recommended replacement for TA1537 and has been demonstrated to be more sensitive to frameshift mutagens.(1,5) However, the reconstructed strain, TA97a, is now routinely used in place of TA97 due to its improved growth properties (personal communication with Bruce Ames and associates).

D. METABOLIC ACTIVATION SYSTEM
Because the tester strains lack many of the enzymes required to convert various promutagens to a reactive state, the assay was performed with and without a rat liver homogenate activation system (S9 Mix) similar to the method of Maron and Ames (1983). The S9 Mix consisted o f the following:
8 33
mM mM
MgC KC1
l2
5 mM glucose-6-phosphate
1040 mmMM NsoAdiDuPm+phosphate pH 7.4 1.6 mg S9 protein /1 .0 mL S9 Mix
The S9 (purchased from MOLTOXTM) was the 9000 x g supernatant of liver homogenate 0 g wet liver: 3.0 mL KC1). Livers were from young male Sprague Dawley rats injected i.p. with Aroclor 1254 (500 mg/kg) five days before sacrifice.
E. DOSE SELECTION
In accordance with EPA and OECD test guidelines, the highest concentration evaluated in this
study was a nominal concentration of 5000 pg/plate. Solubility information was confirmed
empirically as needed during this study. Concentrations were calculated with the assumption
that addition of the test substance to the solvent did not change the volume of the resulting
solution.
`
F. STABILITY AND CONCENTRATION VERIFICATION
Solutions of the test substance were prepared immediately prior to treatment and were presumed to be stable under the conditions o f the study. Treatment and control dosing solutions were not analyzed for concentration, uniformity, or stability. Top agar was not assayed for stability or concentration of the test substance or control articles since this assessment was not considered necessary to achieve the objectives of the study.
G. BACTERIAL MUTAGENICITY ASSAYS
This study consisted o f one trial with and without activation. Two replicates were plated for each tester strain, test concentration, and condition. Positive and negative controls were run concurrently for all assays. Treatments with activation were conducted by adding 0.1 mL of negative control, positive control, or test substance solution, 0.5 mL of S9 mix, and 0.1 mL of an overnight culture containing approximately 1 xlO8bacteria, to 2 mL of top agar [0.6% agar (w/v) and 0.6% NaCl (w/v)] supplemented with 0.05 mM L-histidine and 0.05 mM D-biotin. These components were mixed and poured onto a minimal glucose agar plate (approximately 25 mL, purchased from MOLTOXTM). Treatments without activation were the same as those with activation with the exception that the S9 mix was replaced with 0.5 mL of sterile phosphate buffered saline. Revertant colonies were counted after the individually labeled plates were incubated at approximately 37C for about 48 hours. When necessary, plates were refrigerated prior to counting.

H. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS For each tester strain, the average number o f revertants and the standard deviation at each concentration with and without S9 activation were calculated.
I. ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA An individual trial must have included at least five test concentrations (of which at least four must have been acceptable), a negative control, and a positive indicator for each selected tester strain. Data acceptability criteria were as follows:
A single data point may have been rejected if contamination or excessive toxicity was seen on a treatment plate. A single data point may also have been rejected if excessive precipitate on the plate prevented accurate colony counting.
A negative control data point may have been rejected if it fell outside the acceptable spontaneous mutation range.
A concentration level was rejected if there were less than two data points at the treatment level or if the data point values were judged by the study director to be too divergent.
A trial for the affected strain was rejected if the negative control was rejected or if there was no evidence of mutagenic activity on any positive indicator plate.
Only those trials that met the criteria of acceptability were included in this report. J. CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES A test substance was classified as POSITIVE when: (1) the average number of revertants in any strain at any test substance concentration studied was at least two times greater than the average number of revertants in the negative control; and (2) there was a positive dose-response relationship in that same strain. A test substance was classified as NEGATIVE when either: (1) there were no test substance concentrations with an average number of revertants which was at least two times greater than the average number of revertants in the negative control; and (2) there was no positive doseresponse relationship. Results not meeting these criteria for positive or negative assessments were evaluated using scientific judgment.
