Specific details on test material used for the study:

SOURCE OF TEST MATERIAL
- Source and lot/batch No.of test material: PharmaZell, batch no. 12/18
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: not specified
- Purity test date: not specfied, but CoA states retest data in March 2019

STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature
- Stability under test conditions: assumed to be stable
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: assumed to be stable
- Reactivity of the test substance with the solvent/vehicle of the cell culture medium: assumed non-reactive

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
- Treatment of test material prior to testing: The test item was pre-weighed into a glass vial and was dissolved in an appropriate solvent previously determined in a pre-experiment. A stock solution with a concentration of 100 mM was prepared. A factor of 1.04 was used to correct for the purity of the test item
- Preliminary purification step (if any): none
- Final dilution of a dissolved solid, stock liquid or gel: None; stock solution was used directly with peptide solutions

FORM AS APPLIED IN THE TEST (if different from that of starting material) : a solution of the solid was used in the test, and mixed at specified ratios with the peptide solutions

In chemico test system

Details on the study design:

Skin sensitisation (In chemico test system) - Details on study design:

The in chemico direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA) enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by addressing the molecular initiating event of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), namely protein reactivity, by quantifying the reactivity of test chemicals towards synthetic peptides containing either lysine or cysteine. The percentage depletion value of the cysteine and lysine peptide is used to categorize a substance in one of four reactivity classes to support discrimination between skin sensitisers and non-sensitisers.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

Mean Cysteine peptide depletion = 71.18% (SD= 0.06%, CV = 0.08%)
Mean Lysine peptide depletion = 58.47% (SD = 2.23%, CV = 3.81%)
Prediction model 1, mean of peptides depletions = 64.83%
