- Details on the study design:
- The in chemico direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA) enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by addressing the molecular initiating event of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP), namely protein reactivity, by quantifying the reactivity of test chemicals towards synthetic peptides containing either lysine or cysteine. The percentage depletion value of the cysteine and lysine peptide is used to categorize a substance in one of four reactivity classes to support discrimination between skin sensitisers and non-sensitisers.
In the present study SAT 200028 was dissolved in acetonitrile, based on the results of the pre-experiments.
Based on a molecular weight of 204.26 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared. The test item solutions were tested by incubating the samples with the peptides containing either cysteine or lysine for 24 ± 2 h at 25 ± 2.5 °C. Subsequently samples were analysed by HPLC.

The in chemico direct peptide reactivity assay (DPRA) enables detection of the sensitising potential of a test item by quantifying the reactivity of test chemicals towards synthetic peptides containing either lysine or cysteine.
In the present study SAT 200028 was dissolved in acetonitrile, based on the results of the pre-experiments.
Based on a molecular weight of 204.26 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared. The test item solutions were tested by incubating the samples with the peptides containing either cysteine or lysine for 24 ± 2 h at 25 ± 2.5 °C. Subsequently samples were analysed by HPLC.
All test item solutions were freshly prepared immediately prior to use.
Cysteine Experiments:
Experiment 1:
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item turbidity and phase separation was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including the co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.
Experiment 2:
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item turbidity was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including the co-elution control). Samples were centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.
Lysine Experiment:
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item turbidity was observed when diluted with the lysine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. No precipitation, turbidity or phase separation was observed for the samples of the test item. Slight turbidity was observed for the samples of the positive control (excluding the co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis. Since the acceptance criteria for the depletion range of the positive control were fulfilled, the observed turbidity was regarded as not relevant.
A minor co-elution of the test item with the lysine peptide peak was observed. Therefore, the given peak areas and corresponding lysine peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion and cannot be used for evaluation.
Sensitising potential of the test item was predicted from the mean peptide depletion of the cysteine peptide by comparing the peptide concentration of the test item treated samples to the corresponding reference control C (RC Cacetonitrile).
In the cysteine experiment 1, precipitation was observed. Since it cannot be determined if the precipitate resulted from the test item or the peptide, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion.
In the cysteine experiment 1, the 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed minimal reactivity towards the synthetic peptide. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was ≤ 13.89% (13.43%). According to the evaluation criteria in the guideline, if a precipitation is observed after the incubation period, peptide depletion may be underestimated and a conclusion on the lack of reactivity cannot be drawn with sufficient confidence in case of a negative result. Due to the observed precipitation in the cysteine experiment no prediction can be made.
Furthermore, according to the evaluation criteria in the guideline, for test items with a cysteine peptide depletion between 9% and 17% a second run should be considered. If the mean depletion of the cysteine peptide would then be >13.89%, the test item would be classified as positive. If the mean depletion of the cysteine peptide would then be ≤13.89%, no prediction could be made due to the observed precipitation in the cysteine experiment.
In the cysteine experiment 2, precipitation was observed. Since it cannot be determined if the precipitate resulted from the test item or the peptide, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion.
In the cysteine experiment 2, the 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed low reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was > 13.89% (14.78%). Even though a precipitate was observed a positive result can still be used. Based on the prediction model 1 the test item can be considered as sensitiser.
The 100 mM stock solution of the positive control (cinnamic aldehyde) showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was 67.59% with cysteine experiment 1 and 67.27% with cysteine experiment 2.Conclusion
In this study under the given conditions the test item showed low reactivity towards the cysteine peptide. The test item might be considered as “sensitiser”.- Endpoint:

The expression of the cell surface markers compared to the respective solvent controls is used to support discrimination between skin sensitiser and non-sensitisers.
Prior to the main study the cell batch was checked for its reactivity towards known positive and negative controls and was found to be acceptable for further testing.
In the present study SAT 200028 was dissolved in DMSO. For the dose finding assay stock solutions with concentrations ranging from 500.00 to 3.91 mg/mLwere 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.
A CV75 of 248.51 ± 81.32 μg/mL was derived in the dose finding assay
Based on the CV75, the main experiment was performed covering the following concentration steps:

In all experiments a phase separation was observed after mixing the test item stock solutions with cell culture medium. Ultrasonication was used to aid solubilisation.
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. - Vehicle / solvent control:

Based on the CV75, the main experiment was performed covering the following concentration steps:
298.21; 248.51; 207.09; 172.58; 143.81; 119.84; 99.87; 83.22 μg/mL
In all experiments a phase separation was observed after mixing the test item stock solutions with cell culture medium. Ultrasonication was used to aid solubilisation.
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.Moderate or severe cytotoxic effects were observed for the cells treated with the test item. Relative cell viability at the highest test item concentration was reduced to 62.2% (CD86), 64.5% (CD54) and 66.5% (isotype IgG1 control) in the first experiment and to 74.1% (CD86), 73.0% (CD54) and 74.2% (isotype IgG1 control) in the second experiment and to 24.4% (CD86), 23.0% (CD54) and 23.2% (isotype IgG1 control) in the third experiment.
The expression of the cell surface marker CD54 was upregulated to 297% in experiment 1 and to 484% in experiment 3. The upregulation above the threshold of 200% was observed at several concentrations, starting at 83.22 μg/mL in experiment 1 and at 99.87 μg/mL in experiment 3. In experiment 2 no upregulation of the surface marker CD54 was observed.
In contrast, the expression of cell surface marker CD86 was not upregulated above the threshold of 150% in any of the experiments.
The EC200 value was calculated with 92.11 µg/mL. Since only two independent experiments showed an upregulation above the threshold, the higher EC200 of the two calculated values was adopted. The EC values could potentially contribute to the assessment of sensitising potency when used in integrated approaches such as IATA.
Since one of the cell surface markers clearly exceeded the threshold in two out of three independent experiments the test item is considered to be a skin sensitiser.
The controls confirmed the validity of the study for all experiments.Conclusion
In this study under the given conditions the test item did upregulate the cell surface marker in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore, the test item is considered as skin sensitiser.

Cells were incubated with the test item for 48 h at 37°C.

Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.
In the second experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.
No 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 non-sensitiser.
The controls confirmed the validity of the study.

In this study under the given conditions the test item did not induce the luciferase activity in the transgenic KeratinoSens cell line in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore, the test item can be considered as non sensitiser.The data generated with this method may not be 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.

Cysteine Experiments:
Experiment 1:
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item turbidity and phase separation was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including the co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.
Experiment 2:
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item turbidity was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including the co-elution control). Samples were centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.
Lysine Experiment:
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item turbidity was observed when diluted with the lysine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. No precipitation, turbidity or phase separation was observed for the samples of the test item. Slight turbidity was observed for the samples of the positive control (excluding the co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis. Since the acceptance criteria for the depletion range of the positive control were fulfilled, the observed turbidity was regarded as not relevant.
A minor co-elution of the test item with the lysine peptide peak was observed. Therefore, the given peak areas and corresponding lysine peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion and cannot be used for evaluation.
Sensitising potential of the test item was predicted from the mean peptide depletion of the cysteine peptide by comparing the peptide concentration of the test item treated samples to the corresponding reference control C (RC Cacetonitrile).
In the cysteine experiment 1, precipitation was observed. Since it cannot be determined if the precipitate resulted from the test item or the peptide, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion.
In the cysteine experiment 1, the 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed minimal reactivity towards the synthetic peptide. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was ≤ 13.89% (13.43%). According to the evaluation criteria in the guideline, if a precipitation is observed after the incubation period, peptide depletion may be underestimated and a conclusion on the lack of reactivity cannot be drawn with sufficient confidence in case of a negative result. Due to the observed precipitation in the cysteine experiment no prediction can be made.
Furthermore, according to the evaluation criteria in the guideline, for test items with a cysteine peptide depletion between 9% and 17% a second run should be considered. If the mean depletion of the cysteine peptide would then be >13.89%, the test item would be classified as positive. If the mean depletion of the cysteine peptide would then be ≤13.89%, no prediction could be made due to the observed precipitation in the cysteine experiment.
In the cysteine experiment 2, precipitation was observed. Since it cannot be determined if the precipitate resulted from the test item or the peptide, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion.
In the cysteine experiment 2, the 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed low reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was > 13.89% (14.78%). Even though a precipitate was observed a positive result can still be used. Based on the prediction model 1 the test item can be considered as sensitiser.
Moderate or severe cytotoxic effects were observed for the cells treated with the test item. Relative cell viability at the highest test item concentration was reduced to 62.2% (CD86), 64.5% (CD54) and 66.5% (isotype IgG1 control) in the first experiment and to 74.1% (CD86), 73.0% (CD54) and 74.2% (isotype IgG1 control) in the second experiment and to 24.4% (CD86), 23.0% (CD54) and 23.2% (isotype IgG1 control) in the third experiment.
The expression of the cell surface marker CD54 was upregulated to 297% in experiment 1 and to 484% in experiment 3. The upregulation above the threshold of 200% was observed at several concentrations, starting at 83.22 μg/mL in experiment 1 and at 99.87 μg/mL in experiment 3. In experiment 2 no upregulation of the surface marker CD54 was observed.
In contrast, the expression of cell surface marker CD86 was not upregulated above the threshold of 150% in any of the experiments.
The EC200 value was calculated with 92.11 µg/mL. Since only two independent experiments showed an upregulation above the threshold, the higher EC200 of the two calculated values was adopted. The EC values could potentially contribute to the assessment of sensitising potency when used in integrated approaches such as IATA.
Since one of the cell surface markers clearly exceeded the threshold in two out of three independent experiments the test item is considered to be a skin sensitiser.
The controls confirmed the validity of the study for all experiments
In the first experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.
In the second experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.
No 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 non-sensitiser.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (sensitising)
- Additional information:
The three in chemico/in vitro tests DPRA, KeratinoSens and h-CLAT were performed according to OECD principles (OECD 442c,d,e). One test was considered negative (KeratinoSens), two tests considered the substance to be a skin sensitiser (DPRA, h-CLAT). According to the results of the OECD QSAR toolbox (V 4.5), no alerts for skin sensitisation were found, but the result was out of applicability domain. Overall and according to Integrated Testing Strategy 2 described in the OECD Guideline No. 497: Defined Approaches on Skin Sensitisation, the substance is considered to be a weak skin sensitiser.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The test substance was considered a skin sensitiser in the in chemico/in vitro Skin Sensitisation studies OECD 442C and 442E. According to Integrated Testing Strategy 2 described in the OECD Guideline No. 497: Defined Approaches on Skin Sensitisation, the substance is considered to be a weak skin sensitiser. According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures, the test item should be classified as a weak skin sensitiser (Category 1B).
