Description of key information
An in-vitro study in order to evaluate the registration substance for its ability to induce skin irritation, in line with the OECD Guideline no. 439: In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method (adopted 26 July 2013), was performed. It was concluded that the registration substance is irritant.
Furthermore, in line with the OECD Guideline 431 “In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test, the EpiDerm™ Skin Model (MatTek Corporation, MA, USA) an assessment on the potential skin corrosivity of the registration substance was carried out. The test article was predicted to be non-corrosive.
Screening for the eye irritancy potential of the registration substance in line with OECD Guideline no. 437: " Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage”(adopted July 26, 2013), was perfomed. Rosyfolia induced an IVIS > 3 ≤ 55, and based on the prediction model outline by the Guideline, no prediction on the classification can be made. However, the data does indicate the test substance is not a severe irritant with a mean IVIS of 14.1.
Furthermore the Short Time Exposure (STE) Test Using Statens Seruminstitut Rabbit Cornea (SIRC) Cells with the test article, ROSYFOLIA, was conducted in compliance with the OECD Guideline 491: Short Time Exposure In Vitro Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage (2018). According to the prediction model presented in the Guideline, the results suggest that additional testing would be required for a definitive classification of eye irritation potential per GHS labeling. However, the data indicates a lack of irritation at the lowest concentration tested (0.05%).

- Details on test system:
- The EpiDerm™ Skin Model (MatTek Corporation, MA, USA) was used to assess the potential skin corrosivity of the test article. The MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) conversion assay, which measures the NAD(P)H-dependent microsomal enzyme reduction of MTT (and to a lesser extent, the succinate dehydrogenase reduction of MTT) to a blue formazan precipitate, was used to assess cellular metabolism after test article exposure1. The protocol is consistent with the OECD Test Guideline 431 “In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test”
The EpiDerm™ Model (EPI-200) (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, USA) consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of basal, spinouts and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in-vivo. The model incorporates several features which make it advantageous in the study of potential dermal corrosively. Firstly, the test system uses a serum-free medium which eliminates the possibility of serum protein and test article interaction (Shopsis and Eng. 1988). Secondly, the target cells are epitherlial, derived from human skin (Cannot et al., 1994). Third, since the tissue has a functional stratum corneum, the test materials are applied directly to the tissue surface, at air interface, so that undiluted and/or end use dilutions can be tested directly (Harbell et al., 1994). - Species:

- Details on study design:
- The experimental design of this study consists of the determination of the direct MTT reduction potential, assessment of colorant potential, a pH determination, if possible, and a definitive corrosion assay. The in-vitro skin corrosion assay is used to determine the potential skin corrosively of test substances. The method consists of exposing stratum corneum surface (apical side) of the tissue to the test substance. After a 3- or 60minute exposure (2 tissues per exposure), the test substance is removed from the tissue by rinsing with calcium and magnesium-free Dulbecco’s phosphate buffered saline (CMF-DPBS). The rinsed tissue is then incubated for 3 ± 0.1 hours in an MTT dye solution to determine the degree of cytotoxicity (cell death) caused by exposure to the test substance. Viable cells reduce the yellow, soluble oxidised form of the MTT to the blue-black insoluble from. The reduced dye is extracted from the tissue with isopropanol and the amount of reduced dye is determined spectrophotometrically. The relative viability of the treated tissues is calculated relative to the negative control viability. Test substances that reduce tissue viability to <50%, after a 3-minute exposure, are classified corrosive by this method. In addition, test substances which result in tissue viability ≥50% after a 3-minute exposure and <15% after a 60-minute exposure are also classified corrosive. Test substances which result in tissue viability ≥50% after a 3-minute exposure and ≥15% after a 60-minute exposure are classified non-corrosive.

- Conclusions:
- According to the prediction model presented in the attached study report, the test article was predicted to be non-corrosive.
- Executive summary:
The potential of rosyfolia to be corrosive was evaluated in EpiDerm tissue using a protocol consistent with OECD TG 431 In vitro skin corrosion: reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) test method. The apical side of the EpiDerm tissues were exposed to rosyfolia and after 3 or 60minute exposures (2 tissues/exposure) the test substance was removed from the tissue and the tissue incubated for 3 hrs in MTT dye solution to determine the degree of cytotoxicity caused by the test substance. The relative viability of the treated tissues is calculated relative to the negative control viability. Test substances that results in tissue viabililty of greater than or equal to 50% after 3 minute of exposure and 15% after a 60 minute exposure are classified as non-corrosive. The results showed that the viability was greater 50% at 3 minutes and well over 15% at 60 minutes. Based on the results of this test, rosyfolia is not considered corrosive.

In this test, human skin model ( (EPISKIN Small Model (EPISKIN-SMTM) was exposed to rosyfolia, undiluted, through topical application for 15 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment. Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 minutes treatment compared to the negative control tissues was 7%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for rosyfolia was below 50% after 15 minutes treatment it is considered to be an irritant.

- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- In the interest of sound science and animal welfare, a sequential testing strategy is recommended to minimise the need of in vivo testing (1-6). As a consequence a validated and accepted in vitro test for eye irritation should be performed before in vivo tests are conducted. One of the proposed validated in vitro eye irritation tests is the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test.
Bovine eyes from young cattle were obtained from the slaughterhouse (Vitelco, 's Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands), where the eyes were excised by a slaughterhouse employee as soon as possible after slaughter. Bovine eyes were used as soon as possible after slaughter on the same day.
The eyes were collected and transported in physiological saline in a suitable container under cooled conditions. - Vehicle:

The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish with cMEM (Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (Invitrogen Corporation, Breda, The Netherlands) containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine (Invitrogen Corporation) and 1% (v/v) Foetal Bovine Serum (Invitrogen Corporation)). The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder (one cornea per holder) of MC2 (Clermont-Ferrand, France) 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. - Irritation parameter:

- Rosyfolia induced ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of 14.1 after 10 minutes of treatment. Since rosyfolia induced an IVIS > 3 ≤ 55, no prediction on the classification can be made
- Executive summary:
The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay (BCOP) was used to assess the potential ocular irritancy of the test article to isolated bovine corneas. The methods and procedures used in this assay were consistent with OECD Test Guideline 437: Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage (2013) and EC Guideline B.47 under GLP. Rosyfolia was topically applied undiluted to the epithelium of the bovine cornea for 10 minutes. After exposure, the cornea was thoroughly rinsed to remove the test substance and incubated for 2 hours with fresh medium followed by opacity measurement and the permeability of the corneas was determined after a 90 minutes incubation period with sodium fluorescein. A negative control of saline and a positive control of 10% benzalkonium chloride were included concurrently in the experiments. 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. The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (10% (w/v) Benzalkonium Chloride) was 144 and was within the historical positive control data range. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly. Rosyfolia induced ocular irritation through both endpoints, with an IVIS > 3 ≤ 55, indicating that no prediction on the classification can be made. However, the
resulting mean in vitro irritancy score of 14.1 after 10 minutes of treatment does indicate that rosyfolia is not a severe irritant.

Criteria for a valid test:
An individual assay was considered valid when the following criteria were met:
1) The viability of the positive control fell within 2 standard deviations of the historical range. The current historical range at IIVS (updated every three months) is 10.6% to 58.4%. The positive control resulted in viabilities of 27.9%, 37.0%, and 29.6% for the fifth, sixth, and seventh definitive assays.
2) The corrected OD value for the procedural control was ≥ 0.300. The procedural control was >0.300 in all definitive trials.
3) The mean OD values of the solvent controls (saline and mineral oil) were ≥ 80% of the mean OD values of the procedural control. The % comparisons for saline were 89.5%, 97.7%, and 90.3% for saline, and 104.8%, 105.9%, and 94.9% for mineral oil for the fifth, sixth, and seventh definitive assays, respectively.
The study results were considered valid when the standard deviation of cell viabilities for the 3 valid definitive trials was ≤ 15%. The standard deviations for the test article and positive control were <15%.- Interpretation of results:
- other: rosyfolia produced a mean viability ± standard deviation of 26.8 ± 7.7% for the 5% concentration, and 102.6% ± 3.8% for the 0.05% concentration. However, the data indicates a lack of irritation at the lowest concentration tested (0.05%).
- Remarks:
- GHS Category 2
- Conclusions:
- In the STE assay rosyfolia produced a mean viability ± standard deviation of 26.8 ± 7.7% for the 5% concentration, and 102.6% ± 3.8% for the 0.05% concentration. According to the prediction model presented in the OECD test guideline, when the 5% concentration viability is ≤ 70 % and the 0.05% concentration viability is >70%, additional testing would be required for a definitive classification of eye irritation potential per GHS labeling. However, the data indicates a lack of irritation at the lowest concentration tested (0.05%).
- Executive summary:
The Short Time Exposure Assay (STE) was used to evaluate the potential ocular irritancy of Rosyfolia by measuring 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) dye conversion byStatens Seruminstitut Rabbit Cornea (SIRC) cells after a 5 minute exposure to the test article at two concentrations of 5% and 0.05%. The protocol met the requirements of the OECD Test Guideline 491: Short Time Exposure In Vitro Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage (2018). Rosyfolia was prepared in mineral oil and two concentrations of the test substance (5% and 0.05%) were exposed to a confluent monolayer of SIRC cells for a 5 minute exposure period. After the 5 minute exposure, the treatment was removed and the cells rinsed and the relative viability was determined using MTT. The average cell viability of three definitive assays used to determine ocular irritation of the test article. The results showed that at 5% the mean viability ± standard deviation was 26.8 ± 7.7%, and 102.6% ± 3.8% for the 0.05% concentration. From these results a UN GHS classification was not predicted; however, the data shows that rosyfolia is a irritant at high concentration (5%) but not a the lower concentration of 0.05%.

The mean opacity and mean permeability values (OD490) were used for each treatment group to calculate an in vitro score:
In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value)
Additionally the opacity and permeability values were evaluated independently to determine whether the test substance induced irritation through only one of the two endpoints.

2 In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value). |
The treated corneas showed opacity values ranging from 12 to 15 and permeability values ranging from 0.033 to 0.067. The corneas were slightly turbid with spots after the 10 minutes of treatment with rosyfolia. No pH effect of the test substance was observed on the rinsing medium.
Rosyfolia induced ocular irritation through both endpoints, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score of 14.1 after 10 minutes of treatment.
Since rosyfolia induced an IVIS > 3 ≤ 55, no prediction on the classification can be made.
