Test item: duplicates
Negative control: duplicates
Positive control: duplicates - Details on study design:
- CELL CULTURE:
- Epi-200 kits (Lot no.: 19620) and MTT-100 assays were purchased from MatTek Corporation (Bratislava, Slovakia).
- EpiDerm™ tissue (surface 0.6 cm²) consisted of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consisted of organised basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo.
TEST FOR DIRECT MTT REDUCTION:
- approximately 50 μL of the test item were added to 1 mL of MTT solution and the mixture was incubated in the dark at room temperature for 60 minutes.
- untreated MTT medium was used as control.
- if the MTT solution colour turned blue/purple, the test item was presumed to have reduced the MTT.
TREATMENT:
- at least 1 hour before dosing, EpiDerm™ tissues were transferred under sterile conditions into 6-well plates containing pre-warmed assay medium.
- after the pre-incubation of the EpiDerm™ tissues was completed the medium in each well was replaced by 0.9 mL fresh assay medium.
- duplicates of EpiDerm™ tissues were exposed to the test item, positive control (8.0 N potassium hydroxide) or negative control (50 μL deionised water) for each of two different exposure periods: 3 minutes and 1 hour.
- plates containing the treated tissues were placed into an incubator (37 ± 1.5 °C, 5 ± 0.5% CO2).
- at the end of the exposure period the tissues were removed from the plate and rinsed with DPBS to remove any residual test material.
MTT ASSAY:
- MTT concentrate was diluted with the MTT diluents (ratio 1:4)
- 300 µL MTT solution was added to each well and the cell culture inserts were transferred to the MTT-plates.
- after a 3 hour incubation period (37 ± 1.5 °C, 5 ± 0.5% CO2) the MTT solution was aspirated from the wells and the wells were rinsed with DPBS.
- inserts were transferred into new plates and they were immersed in extractant solution (isopropanol).
- formazan salt was extracted for approximately 21 hours.
- after the extraction period the inserts were pierced to allow the extract to run into the well from which the insert was taken, and the insert was discarded.
- 3 × 200 μL aliquots of the blue formazan solution were transferred from each tissue into a 96-well flat bottom microtiter plate.
- optical density (OD) was determined in a microplate reader (Versamax® Molecular Devices, 85737 Ismaning, Germany) at 570 nm (OD570) without reference filter.
- mean values were calculated for each set of 3 wells per tissue insert.
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:
- mean OD value obtained for the duplicate tissues per test item were used to calculate the percent viability relative to the negative control, which was arbitrarily set at 100%.
- test item is considered to be corrosive to skin (EU CLP Cat.1):
(1) if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is less than 50%, or
(2) if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater or equal than 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is less than 15%.
- test item is considered to be non-corrosive to skin:
(1) if the viability after 3 minutes exposure is greater or equal than 50% and the viability after 1 hour exposure is greater than or equal to 15%.

In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- After exposure to the test item the relative absorbance value decreased to 77.4% after 3 minutes exposure (threshold for corrosivity: 50%). But after the 1 hour exposure period the relative absorbance value was reduced to 5.1 (threshold for corrosivity: 15%). Therefore, the test item was considered to be corrosive.

- optical evaluation of the MTT-reducing capacity of the test item after an 1 hour incubation with MTT-reagent did not show blue colour and thereby was not considered to be an MTT reducer.
- after exposure to the negative control the absorbance values met the required acceptability criterion of mean OD570 ≥ 0.8 for both treatment intervals thereby confirming the acceptable quality of the tissues.
- exposure to the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control, both for the 3 minutes exposure period (14.9%) and for the 1 hour exposure period (5.1%) thus the validity of the test system and the specific batch of tissue models could be confirmed.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1B (corrosive)
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test item is corrosive to the skin.
According to the Directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments, the test substance is corrosive to the skin.
According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test item is corrosive to the skin. - Executive summary:
In this in vitro study the test substance was tested for its skin corrosive potential according to the OECD guideline 437 (2013) by the means of the human skin model test using EpiDerm™. Duplicates of EpiDerm™ tissues were exposed to either the undiluted test item (50 µL), the positive control (8.0 N potassium hydroxide; 50 µL) or the negative control (deionised water; 50 µL) for each of two different exposure periods: 3 minutes and 1 hour (incubation temperature: 37 ± 1 °C). Afterwards the test and the control items were rinsed off the tissues, and a 3 hour incubation period (37 ± 1 °C) with MTT solution followed. MTT solution was then aspirated from the wells and the wells were rinsed with DPBS. Next, the formazan salt was extracted for about 21 hours at room temperature followed by the measurement of the optical density (OD570).
After exposure to the test item the relative absorbance value decreased to 77.4% after 3 minutes exposure (threshold for corrosivity: <50%). But after the 1 hour exposure period the relative absorbance value was reduced to 5.1 (threshold for corrosivity: <15%). Therefore, the test item was considered to be corrosive. The controls confirmed the validity of the study.
