In vitro test system

Test system:
human skin model
Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
The test item was applied, as supplied, at the dose of 25 mg to the epidermal surface of the 2 living human skin models previously moistened with 25 μL of distilled water.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
3 minutes at room temperature and during 1 hour at 37°C ± 1°C, 5% ± 1% CO2.
Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
3 minutes and 1 hour after the test item application the human epidermis were washed 20 times with 1 mL of DPBS (DPBS – Dutscher, Batch No. 5181219). The rinsed tissues were checked for any coloration and noted to be whitish, comparable coloration to that of the negative control tissues.
Number of replicates:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the results obtained under these experimental conditions enable to conclude that the test item 3,5-DICARBOXYBENZENEBORONIC ACID does not have to be classified in Category 1 “Corrosive”.
The hazard statement “H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” with the signal word “Danger” are not required.
Executive summary:

The aim of the study was to evaluate the possible corrosive effects of the test item after topical administration on in vitro human reconstituted epidermis (epiCS®, supplied by CellSystems®).

The test item 3,5-DICARBOXYBENZENEBORONIC ACID was applied, as supplied, at the dose of 25 mg to 2 living Human skin model surfaces (epiCS®, supplied by CellSystems®) during 3 minutes and 1 hour, followed by a rinse with 20 mL of DPBS. Cell viability was then measured by enzymatic conversion of the vital dye MTT into a blue formazan salt that was quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The experimental protocol was established in accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 431 dated 18 June 2019.

3 minutes and 1 hour after the test item application, the mean percent viability of the epidermis skins treated with the test item were 87.69% and 99.35%, versus 18.61% and 1.01%, respectively, with the

positive control item (potassium hydroxide 8N).

In accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the results obtained under these experimental conditions enable to conclude that the test item 3,5-DICARBOXYBENZENEBORONIC ACID

does not have to be classified in Category 1 “Corrosive”. The hazard statement “H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage” with the signal word

“Danger” are not required.
