- Executive summary:
A in vitro skin irritation test was conducted according to the OECD guideline 439 under GLP conditions. 3 Disks of EpiSkin-SM were treated with the test subtance amoxicillin trihydrate and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Exposure was terminated by rinsing with PBS, the epidermis units were then incubated at 37ºC for 42 hours. The viability of each disk was assessed through the MTT assay: tissues were incubated for 3 hours with a MTT solution at 37ºC protected from light. The precipitated formazan crystals were extracted using acidified isopropanol and were quantified spectrophotometrically. PBS and 5 % Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS) were used as negative and positive control respectively. An additional disk was used to provide and estimate of color contribution from the test item. The viability was expressed as a % relative to the negative control. Following exposure to amoxicillin trihydrate the mean cell viability was 90%, this is above the threshold of 50% adn according to OECD 439 guideline the test was considered to be non-irritant to the skin (No category). The study meet the validity criteria.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:

- Other effects:
- The test item remained in the conjunctival sac one hour after its application.
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Amoxicillin trihdyrate is not irritating. According to the test results, amoxicillin is not irritating.
- Executive summary:
An acute eye irritation study of the test item Amoxicillin trihydrate was performed in three New Zealand White rabbits. The irritation effects of the test item were evaluated according to the Draize method (OECD No.: 405, 2012). Rabbits were treated with analgesic and anaesthetic as per the regulatory guideline. Three animals were used to make the classification. The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal. The untreated right eye served as control. A single amount of 0.1 g of the test item was administered as a single dose. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. The test item Amoxicillin trihydrate, applied to rabbit eye mucosa, caused minor transient conjunctival effects at one hour after application which were fully reversible within 24 hours. According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Amoxicillin trihydrate does not require classification as an eye irritant.

Additional information
Skin irritation/corrosion
Key study: A in vitro skin irritation test was conducted according to the OECD guideline 439 under GLP conditions. Following exposure to amoxicillin trihydrate the mean cell viability was 90%, this is above the threshold of 50% adn according to OECD 439 guideline the test was considered to be non-irritant to the skin (No category). The study meet the validity criteria.
Eye irritation/corrosion:
Key study: The study of eye irritation/corrosion of the test substance was performed in vitro according to OECD 438, with GLP. Amoxicillin trihydrate did not cause eye damage. According to UN GHS classification criteria, No prediction can be made, since the ICE Class combination of the 3 endpoints were 1 x I, 2 x II (the first run and the second run).
Key study: An acute eye irritation study of the test item Amoxicillin trihydrate was performed in three New Zealand White rabbits. The irritation effects of the test item were evaluated according to the Draize method (OECD 405, GLP). The test item applied to rabbit eye mucosa, caused minor transient conjunctival effects at one hour after application which were fully reversible within 24 hours. According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Amoxicillin trihydrate does not require classification as an eye irritant.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The in-vivo study is selected.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on available information, the substance is not classified for skin and eye irritation/corrosion according to Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
