Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: non-corrosive

Conclusions:

Based on the results obtained under the laboratory testing conditions, the test item is categorized as non-corrosive to Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RhE) in accordance with UN GHS No category, as the mean percentage tissue viability was greater than 50% after 3 minutes exposure and greater than 15% after 1 hour exposure of the negative control.

Executive summary:

The objective of study was to evaluate the in vitro skin corrosion potential of Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, di-Me sulfate-quaternized by measurement of tissue viability on the Epidermal Model - Epiderm™ (EPI-200-SCT) as per the OECD Guideline 431, adopted on 29th July 2016.

The test item did not develop any colour when dissolved in distilled water/isopropanol and considered as non-reducer of MTT as no purple colour was developed when mixed and incubated with MTT solution.

After receipt of the tissues, visual inspection was done to verify the defects, as there were no tissue defects, air bubble and excess moisture observed all the tissue inserts were used for the study. Tissue inserts were transferred to upper row of 6 well plates prefilled with 0.9 mL of assay medium and incubated in CO2 incubator for 60 minutes.

Test items were exposed for 1 hour and 3 minutes separately. All the treatments were maintained in duplicates. For 3 minutes treatment, quantity of 50 µL of sterile distilled water (NC) was dispensed into the first insert atop the tissue. After 60 seconds the procedure was repeated with second tissue and continued for other tissues. Similar procedure was followed in the same manner until all the tissues were treated. Tissues were treated with 25 mg test item + 25 µL distilled waterand 50 µL of positive control (glacial acetic acid).

For 1 hour treatment, 25 mg test item + 25µL distilled water, 50 µL of negative control and 50 µL of positive control were dispensed directly atop Epiderm™ tissues at 1 minute intervals to facilitate rinsing after exposure. The tissues were incubated at standard culture conditions for 1 hour.

For the 3 minutes exposure, percentage viability of negative control, positive control and test item was 100±2.8, 5.9±0.6 and 67.8±0.7, respectively. As the percentage viability of test item was greater than 50% of negative control, the test item is considered as non-corrosive, whereas the percentage viability of positive control (PC) is less than 50% of negative control clearly represents the irritation potential of positive control.

For the 1 hour exposure, percentage viability of negative control, positive control and test item was 100±0.7, 4.9±0.5 and 73.8±2.9, respectively. As the percentage viability of test item was greater than 15% of negative control, the test item is considered as non-corrosive, whereas the percentage viability of positive control (PC) is less than 50% of negative control clearly represents the irritation potential of positive control.

 

Conclusion

Based on the results obtained under the laboratory testing conditions, Octadecanoic acid, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, di-Me sulfate-quaternized is categorized as non-corrosive as the mean percentage tissue viability was greater than 50% after 3 minutes exposure and greater than 15% after 1 hour exposure of the negative control.
