- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The Neutral Red Uptake (NRU) assay is used to determine cell viability as an indicator of acute toxicity. Neutral Red (a weak cationic dye), penetrates cellular membranes, entering cells via non-ionic diffusion and accumulates intracellularly in lysosomes. Viable cells take up and retain the Neutral Red (NR) dye, while damaged or dead cells do not, therefore, the Neutral Red Uptake (NRU) assay can be employed as a direct measure of cell viability, using membrane integrity as the measured end point. Incorporated NR is released from the cells using a solubilisation solution. The absorbance of the NR is quantified using a spectrophotometer.

- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Neonatal human dermal fibroblast cultures – “Xeno-Free” (HDFn-XF) were obtained commercially as cryopreserved primary cells (Lifeline Cell Technology, Carlsbad, USA). They were originally derived from donor tissue with informed consent for the tissue to be used for research purposes, in adherence with the Human Tissue Act (UK) 2004. Xeno-free culture medium and sub-culture reagents (Lifeline Cell Technology, Carlsbad, USA) were free of animal-derived components, providing a fully human cell culture system.
Test system was extensively QC tested, by the manufacturer, for a range of parameters including viability upon thawing from cryopreservation, proliferation rate, morphology and sterility (absence of bacteria, fungal growth and mycoplasma). They were also demonstrated to be negative for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBV and HCV.

- Overview
Preliminary testing: Determination of the top concentration by solubility testing
Range finding experiment (RFE): To determine a top concentration for the main experiment.
Main experiment (ME) x 3:
Day 1: Seeding cells (1 x 96-well plates for RFE; 3 x 96-well plate for ME).
Day 2: 24 h after seeding, apply test and reference substances for 24 ± 1h
Day 3: Evaluate the Neutral Red Uptake - Statistics:
- Data Analysis for this study were performed following XCellR8 SOP L0064: “Neutral Red Uptake (NRU) Cytotoxicity Test Using Human Dermal Fibroblasts in Xeno-Free Culture Conditions”, using XCellR8 Form F0058: Acute Toxicity Analysis Spreadsheet v01, for processing. This is a Microsoft Excel workbook (created during the project funded by Innovate UK (project number 131726) and validated in-house in August 2017, containing formulae to process the raw data as per SOP L0064. The final data output is a percentage viability value for cells exposed to the test substance relative to the negative control and the IC50 value.
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- As per OECD guidance document 129, an initial range finding experiment (RFE) was performed with a range of concentrations based on the outcome of the solubility test (dilution factor of 2 was used) to determine a top concentration for three main experiments (ME) allowing the determination of a more accurate IC50 (i.e. the concentration at which a decrease in cell viability of 50% was observed). Based on solubility data, top concentration used in the RFE was 0.2 mg/mL (200 µg/mL).
As all viability values obtained with the RFE were above 50%, and further solubility testing showed that the top concentration of 400 µg/mL (0.4 mg/mL) was soluble, two Main Experiments (ME1 and ME3) were performed with a top test substance concentration of 400µg/mL and a dilution factor of 1.2 and one (ME2) with a test substance top concentration of 200 µg/mL (0.2 mg/mL) with a dilution factor of 1.5.

- Remarks:
- Equivalent predicted LD50: 300-2000 mg/kg bw; Potential EU CLP classification: Category 4
- Other findings:
- In all assays, no cytotoxicity was observed, even at the top concentration. It was not possible to determine an IC50 value (or IC50 >400 µg/mL) as all percentage of viability obtained were above 50%. Therefore, the test substance was classified as GHS Category 4 “Harmful if swallowed”, suggesting a low acute toxicity potential.

Results
Solubility Results
The solubility was first determined following OECD guidance document 129 to determine the top concentration for the RFE:
Tier 1: 200 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Not soluble
Tier 2: 20 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Not soluble
Tier 3: 2 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Not soluble
Tier 3: 200 mg/mL in DMSO - Not soluble
Tier 3: 200mg/mL in Ethanol - Not soluble
Tier 4: 0.2mg/mL in cell culture medium - Soluble
Therefore the top concentration used in the range finding experiment (RFE) described here after was 0.2 mg/mL.
As no toxicity was observed in the RFE, further solubility testing was performed to determine a possible higher concentration to use in the Main Experiments (ME).
Further solubility testing results are:
200 mg/mL in DMSO - Not soluble
100 mg/mL in DMSO - Not soluble
1.5 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Not soluble
1 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Not soluble
0.8 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Not soluble
0.4 mg/mL in cell culture medium - Soluble
Therefore the concentration of 0.4 mg/mL in cell culture medium was used for ME1 and 3, while 0.2 mg/mL was used for ME2.
Range finding experiment
An initial Range finding experiment (RFE) was performed with a top test substance concentration of 200 μg/mL (0.2 mg/mL) and a dilution factor of 2. A positive control plate was run in parallel, to validate the assay with a top concentration of 100μg/mL and a dilution factor of 1.2.
Cell viability measurements 24 h± 1 h after application of test substance / positive control (SDS).

A maximum of 2 outliers were removed. Results of the final calculation are presented here. Note that one value was still above 15%, however,this is not considered to impact the IC50 calculation because all concentrations gave similar results.
As the percentage viability obtained for all concentrations was above 50%, no IC50 was determined.
Main experiments
As all values obtained with the RFE were above 50%, and further solubility testing showed that the top concentration of 400 µg/mL (0.4 mg/mL) was soluble, two Main Experiments (ME1 and ME3) were performed with a top test substance concentration of 400 µg/mL and a dilution factor of 1.2 and one (ME2) with a test substance top concentration of 200 µg/mL (0.2 mg/mL) with a dilution factor of 1.5. A positive control plate was run in parallel, to validate the assay with a top concentration of 100 µg/mL and a dilution factor of 1.2.

A maximum of 2 outliers were removed. Results of the final calculation are presented here. Note that some values are still above 15%, however, this is not considered to impact the IC50 calculation because calculated value was within historical range.
The calculated IC50 was 32.09 µg/mL which is within the range of the historical data obtained during the project funded by Innovate UK (project number 131726) in which the assay was set up (range 26.5 - 70.9 µg/mL).

Table 14: Cell viability measurements 24 h ± 1 h after application of the test substance. NC1 and 2: negative control (untreated cells), C1 to C8: Concentration 1 to 8. A maximum of 2 outliers were removed when SD values above 15%. Results of the final calculation are presented here.
As the percentage viability obtained for all concentrations was above 50%, no IC50 was determined.
Assay acceptance criteria
Results were checked against the following acceptance criteria:
1) Each run includes a Positive Control (SDS) plate with a defined series of concentrations to determine the IC50. In order for the run to be valid, the IC50 for SDS must be within the mean ± 1.5 SD of the historical set of runs with this substance (48.7 µg/mL ± (1.5 x 14.8)). For the RFE, and the 3 ME, the IC50values obtained with the PC were in the range of the historical data obtained during theproject funded by Innovate UK (project number 131726) in which the assay was set up.
2) SD (Standard Deviation) of the 6 values for each condition should be ≤15% (when viability percentage is above 30%). In some cases, a maximum of 2 outliers was removed to achieve SD ≤15%.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- Under the study conditions, the test substance predicted LD50 was considered to be 300 to 2000 mg/kg bw (Based on in vitro experimental IC50: >400 μg/mL).
- Executive summary:
An in vitro study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity potential of test substance, 'mono- and di- C16 PSE, K+ and H3PO4', using cytotoxicity based on Neutral Red Uptake Method, according to OECD Guideline 129, in compliance with GLP. The study was assessed in vitro using XCellR8’s internally validated Human Cell-Based Screen (Non-Regulatory Method). The test uses cultured human dermal fibroblasts in animal product free culture, Neutral Red Uptake (NRU) method and a prediction model, based on the GHS classification system for acute toxicity. After a 24 h ± 1 h exposure of 8 concentrations of test substance in cell culture medium of Human Dermal Fibroblasts neonatal (HDFn), cytotoxicity was evaluated. Using a prediction model, determined previously, the IC50 value was converted to a corresponding GHS classification for oral acute toxicity. The solubility was first performed to determine the top concentration for the Range Finding Experiment (RFE). The percentage of viability for each concentration was calculated and normalised to viability results of the negative control (untreated cells) arbitrarily set to 100%. The IC50 (i.e. the concentration at which a decrease in cell viability of 50% was observed) was calculated as being >200 μg/mL in the RFE. As no toxicity was observed in the RFE, further solubility testing was performed to determine a possible higher concentration to use in the Main Experiments (ME). Therefore the highest concentration of 400 μg/mL in cell culture medium was used for ME1 and 3, while 200 μg/mL was used for ME2. In all test substance assays, no cytotoxicity was observed, even at the top concentration. It was not possible to determine an IC50 value as all percentage of viability obtained were above 50%. Based on the study results (IC50: >400 μg/mL), the study author concluded, the test substance could fall in potential EU CLP category 4 (LD50: 300 to 2000 mg/ kg bw).
