- The test item is considered non-corrosive to skin.
After 3 minutes treatment, the mean value of relative tissue viability of the test item was 102.4%. This value is well above the threshold for corrosivity (50%). After 1 hour treatment the mean value of relative tissue viability of the test item was 102.1%. This value is well above the threshold for corrosivity (15%).
The values of the negative control met the required acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for both treatment intervals, thus showing the quality of the tissues.
The positive control has met the validity criterion too, thus ensuring the validity of the test system.
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid. - Executive summary:
One valid experiment was performed.
Two tissues of the human skin model EpiDermTMwere treated with the test itemfor 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively. The test item was applied to each tissue and spread to match the tissue size.
Demineralised water was used as negative control, 8 M KOH was used as positive control.
After treatment, the respective substance was rinsed from the tissues. Then, cell viability of the tissues was evaluated by addition of MTT, which can be reduced to a blue formazan. Formazan production was evaluated by measuring the optical density (OD) of the resulting solution.
After treatment with the negative control, the absorbance values were within the required acceptability criterion of mean OD ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for both treatment intervals thus showing the quality of the tissues. The OD was 1.7 (3 minutes experiment) and 1.5 (1 hour experiment).
The positive control showed clear corrosive effects for both treatment intervals. The mean relative tissue viability value was reduced to 14.2% for the 1 hour treatment.
After 3 minutes treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was increased to 102.4%. This value is above the threshold for corrosion potential (50%). After 1 hour treatment, mean value of relative tissue viability was increased to 102.1%. This value, too, is above the threshold for corrosion potential (15%).
Therefore, the test item7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-olis considered non-corrosive to skin in the Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) Test Method.

Title of Study: Determination of Skin Irritation Potential of 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol in the Reconstructed human Epi-dermis (RhE) Test Method following EU-Method B.46 and OECD 439
Findings and Results:
One valid experiment was performed.
Three tissues of the human skin model EpiDermTM were treated with the test item for 60 minutes.
The test item was applied directly to each tissue and spread to match the tissue size (0.63 cm2; as indicated by the supplier).
DPBS-buffer was used as negative control and 5% SDS solution was used as positive control.
After treatment with the negative control, the mean absorbance value was within the re-quired acceptability criterion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8, OD was 1.6.
The positive control showed clear irritating effects. The mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 2.5% (required :≤ 20%).

After the treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 94.1%. This value is well above the threshold for skin irritation potential (50%). Test items that induce values above the threshold of 50% are considered non-irritant to skin.
Therefore, the test item 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol is considered non-irritant to skin in the Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
: Only corneas which were free from damage were used. The corneas were excised with a scalpel and cut from the globe with a 2-3 mm ring of sclera around the outside. Each cornea was transferred to a cornea holder in which pre-warmed cMEM (32 ± 1 °C) without phenol red was filled. The holders were then incubated for 1 hour in the incubation chamber at 32 ± 1 °C.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS : After the initial incubation, the medium was completely changed and the baseline opacity for each cornea was recorded. None of the corneas showed tissue damage; therefore, all corneas were used.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES : 3
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED : HBSS
POSITIVE CONTROL USED : Dimethylformamide (undiluted)
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME : 750 µL, EXPOSURE TIME 10 MINUTES.
TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: yes. If YES please specify duration : 2 hours.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: the anterior chamber was rinsed with cMEM with phenol red, then with cMEM without phenol red.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Opacitometer
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate reader (OD 492 nm)
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)
The IVIS of each replicate of the negative control was calculated from the following equation:
IVIS = opacity difference + (15 x corrected OD492 value)
The IVIS of each replicate of the positive control and of the test item were calculated from the following equation:
IVIS = (opacity difference – mean opacity difference of the negative control) + [15 x (OD492 – mean OD492 of the negative control)]

Findings and Results:
One valid experiment was performed.
Bovine corneas were used. They were collected from slaughtered cattle that were between 12 and 60 months old. The test item 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol was applied onto the cornea of a bovine eye which had been previously incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been measured.
The test item was incubated on the cornea for 10 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item and 2 hours post-incubation, opacity and permeability values were measured.
Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) was used as negative control. The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated mean IVIS (In Vitro Irritancy Score) was 2.48.
Dimethylformamide (DMF) undiluted was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and was within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. The calculated mean IVIS was 114.56.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated mean IVIS was -0.16.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Oct. 2017), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Eye irritation:
The test item 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated mean IVIS (In Vitro Irritancy Score) was -0.16. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (EU CLP) no classification is proposed.
Skin irritation:
Corrosion study: After 3 minutes treatment, the mean value of relative tissue viability of the test item was 102.4%. This value is well above the threshold for corrosivity (50%). After 1 hour treatment the mean value of relative tissue viability of the test item was 102.1%. This value is well above the threshold for corrosivity (15%), therefore the substance is characterised as non-corrosive. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (EU CLP) no classification is proposed.
Irritation study:
After the treatment with the test item, the mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 94.1%. This value is well above the threshold for skin irritation potential (50%). Test items that induce values above the threshold of 50% are considered non-irritant to skin. Therefore, the test item 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)quinolin-8-ol is considered non-irritant to skin in the Reconstructed human Epidermis (RhE) Test Method.
