Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: The data generated with this test should be considered in the context of integrated approached such as IATA.

Conclusions:

In this study under the given conditions the test item showed high reactivity towards both peptides. The test item is considered as “sensitiser”.

The data generated with this test should be considered in the context of integrated approached such as IATA, combining the result with other complementary information, e.g. derived from in vitro assays addressing other key events of the skin sensitisation AOP.

Executive summary:

In the present study the test material was dissolved in acetonitrile, based on the results of the pre-experiments.

Based on a molecular weight of 632.78 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared. The test item solutions were tested by incubating the samples with the peptides containing either cysteine or lysine for 24 ± 2 h at 25 ± 2.5 °C. Subsequently samples were analysed by HPLC.

All test item solutions were freshly prepared immediately prior to use.

For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item precipitation was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including the co-elution control). Samples were centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.

For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item precipitation was observed when diluted with the lysine peptide solution.After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including the co-elution control). Samples were centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis. Phase separation was observed for the samples of the positive control (including the co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.

Since the acceptance criteria for the depletion range of the positive control were fulfilled, the observed phase separation was regarded as not relevant.

Precipitation of the test item with both peptide peaks was observed. Therefore, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion.

The 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was> 6.38% (51.64%). Even though a precipitate was observed a positive result can still be used. Based on the prediction model 1 the test item can be considered as sensitiser.

The 100 mM stock solution of the positive control (cinnamic aldehyde) showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was 66.92%.
