MASTER-IAC  robotic telescope (MASTER-Net: http://observ.pereplet.ru) 
located in Teyde observatory was pointed to the  GRB160401.85 (Mereghetti 
et al., GCN 19251) 7 sec after 
notice time 
and 15 sec after trigger time at 2016-04-01 20:20:57 UT. On our first (10s 
exposure)  set we didn't find new optical transient within 
INTEGRAL error-box 
(ra=05 59 00 dec=+26 41 11 r=0.054) brighter then 16.3 (5-sigma upper 
limit).
