Description of key information
The potential of (R)-3-Amino-2-(2,4 -difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol L-tartrate to induce skin and eye irritation/corrosion was evaluated in suitable in vitro tests.
Based on the results from two in vitro skin irritation/corrosion studies conducted according to OECD 431 and OECD 439, the target substance must be considered as irritant to the skin and classification as Skin Irrit. 2, H315 is warranted in accordance with the CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
The potential of the target substance to induce eye irritation was assessed in an in vitro assay conducted according to OECD 437. Based on the results, the target substance can be considered to induce serious damage to the eye. Therefore, classification as Eye Dam.1, H318 is warranted in accordance with the CLP criteria.

For details of the results please refer to Tables 2 and 3 in section "Any other information on results incl. tables". - Interpretation of results:
- other: non-corrosive
- Conclusions:
- In this study under the given conditions the test item showed no corrosive effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was above 15% after 60 min treatment and above 50% after 3 min treatment. Therefore, the test item is classified as “non-corrosive“.
- Executive summary:
In a primary skin corrosion study conducted according to OECD testing guideline 431, two EpiDerm tissues per dose group were exposed to 25 mg of (R)-3-Amino-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol L-tartrate (99.5% purity) for 60 min and 3 min. Cytotoxicity was measured in comparison to the concurrent negative controls via the MTT reduction assay and irritation was scored by the method of mean relative tissue viability. The test item showed no corrosive effects. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was greater than 15% (69.2%) after 60 min treatment and greater than 50% (80.5%) after a 3 min treatment. The controls confirmed the validity of the study and all acceptance criteria were fulfilled. Based on the results from this study, the test item can be classified as non-corrosive. To specify the classification in accordance to CLP regulation 1272/2008 the results from an OECD 439 study must be additionally consulted.
The study is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for an in vitro skin corrosion study (OECD 431).

- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study conducted according to OECD guideline 439, the EpiDerm™-Model (EPI-200-SIT) was topically exposed to (R)-3-Amino-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol L-tartrate (99.5% purity) for 60 min followed by a 42 h post-incubation period. Irritant potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the corresponding negative control tissues concurrently treated with DPBS. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was < 50% (3.2%). The controls confirmed the validity of the study and all acceptance criteria were fulfilled. Based on this result, the test item
is considered to be irritating to the skin. In combination with the results from a second in vitro test (OECD 431), it can be concluded that classification as Skin Irrit. 2, H315 is warranted.
The study is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for an in vitro skin irritation study (OECD 439).

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS / QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS
The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects, such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. Those exhibiting defects were discarded. The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish with cMEM (Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (Life Technologies, Bleiswijk, The Netherlands) containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine (Life Technologies) and 1% (v/v) Fetal Bovine Serum (Life Technologies)). The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder (one cornea per holder) of Duratec Analysentechnik GmbH (Hockenheim, Germany) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder. The anterior half of the holder was positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The compartments of the corneal holder were filled with cMEM of 32 +/- 1 °C. The corneas were incubated for the minimum of 1 hour at 32 +/- 1 °C.
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
750 μL of the test substance or the control substance was introduced into the anterior chamber. After 240 +/- 10 minutes incubation at 32 ± 1 °C either the test substance or the control substance was removed and the epithelium washed at least three times with MEM (containing phenol red).
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: The epithelium was washed at least three times with MEM (containing phenol red)
POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION:
Following the final opacity measurement, permeability of the cornea to Na-fluorescein (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) was evaluated. The medium of both compartments (anterior compartment first) was removed. The posterior compartment was refilled with fresh cMEM. The anterior compartment was filled with 1 mL of 5 mg Na-fluorescein/mL cMEM solution (Sigma-Aldrich Chemie GmbH, Germany). The holders were slightly rotated, with the corneas maintained in a horizontal position, to ensure uniform distribution of the sodium-fluorescein solution over the entire cornea. Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for 90 +/- 5 minutes at 32 +/- 1 °C.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- The optical density was determined at 490 nm (OD490) using a spectrophotometer.

- Run / experiment:
- mean (triplicates)
- Value:
- 191
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not examined
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- other: According to the UN GHS, this IVIS indicates that the test item induces serious eye damage
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes, the negative control responses for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, the mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (20% (w/v) Imidazole) was 137 and within two standard deviations of the current historical positive control mean.
For details on the results please refer to box "Any other information on results incl. tables". - Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, based on the mean in vitro irritation score of 191 obtained in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay (OECD 437), it is concluded that the test item induces serious eye damage in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test under the experimental conditions described above and should be classified category 1 according to the UN GHS criteria.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of R)-3-Amino-2-(2,4 - difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol L-tartrate (99.5% purity) was investigated in the bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay (OECD 437). The mean in vitro irritation score was determined with 191 after a 4-hour treatment. The positive control induced the appropriate responses, indicating the validity of the assay. In conclusion, since the test item induced an IVIS ≥ 55, it is concluded that the test item induces serious eye damage in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test under the experimental conditions described and should be classified as Eye Dam. 1, H318 in accordance with the CLP Regulation 1272/2008.

Additional information
The potential of (R)-3-Amino-2-(2,4 -difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol L-tartrate to induce skin irritation/corrosion was evaluated in two suitable in vitro tests.
In a primary skin corrosion study conducted according to OECD testing guideline 431, the mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was greater than 15% (69.2%) after a 60 min treatment and greater than 50% (80.5%) after a 3 min treatment. Based on the results from this study, the test item can be classified as non-corrosive. To specify the classification in accordance to CLP regulation 1272/2008 the results from an OECD 439 study must be additionally consulted.
Thus, in a primary skin irritation study conducted according to OECD guideline 439, the EpiDerm™-Model (EPI-200-SIT) was topically exposed to (R)-3-Amino-2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-1-(5-(4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl)pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-ol L-tartrate (99.5% purity) for 60 min followed by a 42 h post-incubation period. Irritant potential of the test item was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities compared to the corresponding negative control tissues concurrently treated with DPBS. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was < 50% (3.2%). Based on this result, the test item is considered to be irritating to the skin. In combination with the results from the first in vitro test (OECD 431), it can be concluded that classification as Skin Irrit. 2, H315 is warranted.
The potential of the target substance to induce eye irritation/corrosion was evaluated in an in vitro test conducted according to OECD 437. The bovine corneal opacity and permeability assay (BCOP, OECD 437) allows classification as “not classified” or “Eye Dam 1, H318” based on the In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS). Results of an IVIS greater than 55 are identified as “UN GHS Category 1”. Based on the results obtained from the BCOP test (mean IVIS = 191), the target substance must be considered to induce serious damage to the eye and classification as Eye Dam. 1, H318 in accordance with CLP Regulation 1272/2008 is warranted.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results from suitable in vitro skin and eye irritation/corrosion studies, classification as Skin Irrit. 2, H315 and Eye Dam. 1, H318 is warranted in accordance with CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
