DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: In the methos it is stated: All chemicals were run initially in a toxicity assay to determine the appropriate dose range for the mutagenicity
assay. The toxicity assay was performed using TA100 or the system developed by Waleh et al. [1982]. Toxic concentrations were defined as those that produced a decrease in the number of his+ colonies, or a clearing in the density of the background lawn, or both.
No data about a cytotoxicity test has been reported by the NTP.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: not applicable
- Determination of endoreplication: not applicable - Evaluation criteria:
- A chemical was judged mutagenic or weakly mutagenic if it produced a reproducible, dose-related response over the solvent control, under a single metabolic activation condition, in replicate trials. A chemical was judged questionable if the results of individual trials were not reproducible, if increases in his+ revertants did not meet the criteria for a weakly mutagenic response, or if only single doses produced increases in his+ revertants in repeat trials.Chemicals were judged nonmutagenic (-) if they did not meet the criteria for a mutagenic or questionable response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the criteria of this study sodium chlorate (100 to 10,000 µg/plate) was not mutagenic in S. typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA104, or TA1535, with or without induced rat or hamster liver S9 enzymes.
- Executive summary:
Testing was performed as reported by Zeiger et al. (1992). Sodium chlorate was sent to the laboratory as a coded aliquot. It was incubated with the Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA104, and TA1535 either in buffer or S9 mix (metabolic activation enzymes and cofactors from Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver) for 20 minutes at 37° C. Top agar supplemented with L-histidine and d-biotin was added, and the contents of the tubes were mixed and poured onto the surfaces of minimal glucose agar plates. Histidine-independent mutant colonies arising on these plates were counted following incubation for 2 days at 37° C. Each trial consisted of triplicate plates of concurrent positive and negative controls and at least five doses of sodium chlorate. In the absence of toxicity, 10,000 µg/plate was selected as the high dose.Test concentrations were 100, 333, 1000, 3333 and 10000 microgram/plate. All trials were repeated at the same or a higher S9 fraction. In this assay, a positive response is defined as a reproducible, dose-related increase in histidine-independent (revertant) colonies in any one strain/activation combination. An equivocal response is defined as an increase in revertants that is not dose related, is not reproducible, or is not of sufficient magnitude to support a determination of mutagenicity. A negative response is obtained when no increase in revertant colonies is observed following chemical treatment. There is no minimum percentage or fold increase required for a chemical to be judged positive or weakly positive. In this assay sodium chlorate did not induce an increase in the number of revertant colonies. Sodium chlorate (100 to 10,000 µg/plate) was not mutagenic in S. typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102, TA104, or TA1535, with or without induced rat or hamster liver S9 enzymes.
