Description of key information

in vitro data:

OECD 442C:

In preparation of the OECD 442 assay, solubility testing in the solvents used for the OECD 422 C assay was performed. The test item solubility was studied in acetonitrile, water, isopropanol, methanol, and ethanol. In the solubility testing no test item solvent compatible with the DPRA was found. Therefore, the study cannot be performed.

OECD 442D: positive

OECD 442E:

In this study under the given conditions the test item did not upregulate the expression of the cell surface marker in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore the test item considered to be no skin sensitiser. Due to the high logP of the substance (> 6.5) the negative result should not be considered (cf. OECD 442E).

in vivo data:

OECD 429:

Test material formulations in DMF at concentrations between 25 and 0.5 % showed systemic and local effects including body weight loss, reduced activity, ear swelling, increased ear weight, scaly skin and eschar formation. The local effects were present even at a low dose of 0.5 %. Therefore, the main test was cancelled due to these technical difficulties and no conclusion on skin sensitisation potential can be derived

Type of study:
activation of keratinocytes
Details on the study design:
The in vitro KeratinoSens™ assay enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by
addressing the second molecular key event of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), namely
activation of keratinocytes, by quantifying the luciferase activity in the transgenic cell line
KeratinoSens™. The luciferase activity, assessed by luminescence measurement, compared
to the respective solvent controls is used to support discrimination between skin sensitisers
and non-sensitisers.

Positive control results:
The luciferase activity induced by the positive control at a concentration of 64 µM was between 2 and 8 (2.83 in experiment 1; 2.67 in experiment 2).

Interpretation of results:
other: The result must be considered in the context of an integrated approach.
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item did induce the luciferase activity in the transgenic KeratinoSens™ cell line in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore, the test item can be considered to be a sensitiser in accordance with UN GHS category 1.
Executive summary:

In the present study the test material was dissolved in DMSO.

Based on a molecular weight of 395 g/mol a stock solution of 200 mM was prepared.

Based on the stock solution a set of twelve master solutions in 100% solvent was prepared by serial dilution using a constant dilution factor of 1:2. These master solutions were diluted 1:100 in cell culture medium. The following concentration range was tested in the assay:

2000, 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5, 31.25, 15.63, 7.81, 3.91, 1.95, 0.98 µM

Cells were incubated with the test item for 48 h at 37°C. After exposure cells were lysed and luciferase activity was assessed by luminescence measurement.

In the first experiment, a max luciferase activity (Imax) induction of 13.17 was determined at a test item concentration of 31.25 µM. The corresponding cell viability was 208.2%. The lowest tested concentration with a significant luciferase induction >1.5 (2.70) was found to be 3.91 µM. The corresponding cell viability was >70% (202.9%). The calculated EC1.5was < 1000 µM (2.41 µM). Microscopically, signs of precipitates were observed at the 4 highest test item concentrations.This may be the reason for the decrease in luciferase activity at the highest test item concentrations.

In the second experiment, a max luciferase activity (Imax) induction of 9.01 was determined at a test item concentration of 125.0 µM. The corresponding cell viability was 143.9%. The lowest tested concentration with a significant luciferase induction >1.5 (2.22) was found to be 3.91 µM. The corresponding cell viability was >70% (139.1%). The calculated EC1.5was < 1000 µM (2.56 µM). Microscopically, signs of precipitates were observed at the 4 highest test item concentrations. This may be the reason for the decrease in luciferase activity at the highest test item concentrations.

A dose response for luciferase activity induction was observed for each individual run as well as for an overall luciferase activity induction.

Under the condition of this study the test item is therefore considered as sensitiser.

Type of study:

Details on the study design:
The in vitro human cell line activation test (h-CLAT) enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test
item by addressing the third molecular key event of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), namely
dendritic cell activation, by quantifying the expression of the cell surface markers CD54 and CD86 in
the human monocytic cell line THP-1. The expression of the cell surface markers compared to the
respective solvent controls is used to support discrimination between skin sensitisers and
non-sensitisers.
Positive control results:
The positive control (DNCB) led to an upregulation of the expression of CD54 and CD86 in both experiments. The threshold of 150% for CD86 (352% experiment 1; 288% experiment 2) and 200% for CD54 (248% experiment 1; 286% experiment 2) were clearly exceeded

Interpretation of results:
other: The result must be considered in the context of an integrated approach.
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item did not upregulate the expression of the cell surface marker in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore the test item considered to be no skin sensitiser. Due to the high logP of the substance (> 6.5) the negative result should not be considered (cf. OECD 442E).

The data generated with this method may be not sufficient to conclude on the absence of skin sensitisation potential of chemicals and should be considered in the context of integrated approach such as IATA.
Executive summary:

In the present study the test material was dissolved in THF. For the dose finding assay stock solutions with concentrations ranging from 500 mg/mL to 3.91 mg/mL were prepared by a serial dilution of 1:2. Cells were incubated with the test item for 24 h at 37°C. After exposure cells were stained with propidium iodide and cell viability was measured by FACS analysis.

Due to a lack of cytotoxicity, no CV75 could be derived. Therefore the main experiment was performed covering the following concentration steps:

1000; 833.33, 694.44, 578.70, 482.25, 401.88, 334.90, 279.08 µg/mL

In both experiments precipitation of the test item was observed when mixing the test item stock solutions (prepared in THF) with cell culture medium.

Cells were incubated with the test item for 24 h at 37°C. After exposure cells were stained and cell surface markers CD54 and CD86 were measured by FACS analysis. Cell viability was assessed in parallel using propidium iodide staining.

No cytotoxic effects were observed for the cells treated with the test item. Relative cell viability at the highest test item concentration was reduced to 95.7% (CD86), 94.7% (CD54) and 94.9% (isotype IgG1 control) in the first experiment and to 97.00% (CD86), 96.90% (CD54) and 96.90% (isotype IgG1 control) in the second experiment.

The expression of the cell surface marker CD86 was not upregulated above the threshold of 150% in any of the experiments. The expression of cell surface marker CD54 was not upregulated above the threshold of 200% in any of the experiments. Therefore, the test item is considered to be no skin sensitiser.

The positive control (DNCB) led to an upregulation of the expression of CD54 and CD86 in both experiments. The threshold of 150% for CD86 (352% experiment 1; 288% experiment 2) and 200% for CD54 (248% experiment 1; 286% experiment 2) were clearly exceeded.

In this study under the given conditions the test item did not upregulate the expression of the cell surface marker in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore the test item considered to be no skin sensitiser. Due to the high logP of the substance (> 6.5) the negative result should not be considered (cf. OECD 442E).
