Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 50 uL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
2 tissues were treated for 3 minutes, while another two were treated for an hour.
Observation period:
Tissues were washed following exposure, and incubated with MTT medium for 3 hours. Formazan was then extracted with 2 mL isopropanol and the amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically.
Number of animals:
None: in vitro method.
Details on study design:
Human-derived keratinocytes were cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. The tissues were kept refrigerated until the day of use, transferred to 6 well plates containing 0.9 mL DMEM medium, and then incubated for 2.5 hours at 37 C in 5% CO2. MTDID 30531 (50 uL) was applied to 2 tissues for a 3 minute exposure and to 2 tissues for 1 hour exposure. The negative control (Milli-Q water) and the positive control (Potassium hydroxide- 8.0 normal solution) were applied (50 uL of each) in the same manner. Following the exposure periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The DMEM medium was replaced with 300 uL MTT medium and then all tissues were again incubated for 3 hours at 37 C in 5% CO2. The tissues were then washed with PBS and formazan was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol. The amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically at 540 nm in triplicate. Cell viability was then calculated as a percentage of the mean of the control tissues, and skin corrosion potential calculated from the optical density at 540 nm (OD540) measurements.

Executive summary:

The skin corrosion potential of the test article (clear colorless liquid, Batch: 41260127919j/Lot 2) was evaluated in an in vitro human skin model test. METHODS: This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP (1997). The study design was based on OECD Guideline No. 431 (2013) and EC 440/2008 (2008). Human-derived keratinocytes were cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. The tissues were kept refrigerated until the day of use, transferred to 6 well plates containing 0.9 mL DMEM medium, and then incubated for 2.5 hours at 37 C in 5% CO2. The test article (50 uL) was applied to 2 tissues for a 3 minute exposure and to 2 tissues for 1 hour exposure. The negative control (Milli-Q water) and the positive control (Potassium hydroxide- 8.0 normal solution) were applied (50 uL of each) in the same manner. Following the exposure periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS). The DMEM medium was replaced with 300 uL MTT medium and then all tissues were again incubated for 3 hours at 37 C in 5% CO2. The tissues were then washed with PBS and formazan was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol. The amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically at 540 nm in triplicate. Cell viability was then calculated as a percentage of the mean of the control tissues, and skin corrosion potential calculated from the optical density at 540 nm (OD540) measurements. The mean tissue viability of test article treated cells was 88% of the negative control after a 3 minute exposure and 95% after 1 hour exposure. The controls performed as expected indicating that the test was valid. Based on the results of the study, the test article is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test model and met the requirements of the test. As the study was performed according to OECD 431, a classification of Category 2 irritant was assigned.
