Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: foreskin (number of donors not specified)
Source strain:

Justification for test system used:
This study makes use of reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) (obtained from human derived non-transformed epidermal keratinocytes) which closely mimics the histological, morphological, biochemical and physiological properties of the upper parts of the human skin, i.e., the epidermis. Use of reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) is also recommended by OECD and other regulatory authorities. SkinEthicTM RHE model has been validated and is part of OECD validated reference methods (VRMs) and is also a recommended model for conducting in vitro skin irritation studies.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Skin irritant (Cat. 2) (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The test substance was found to be a skin irritant (Cat. 2) in a reconstructed human epidermis test.
Executive summary:

An in vitro skin irritation test of the test item was performed in a reconstructed human SkinEthic RHE® model, according to OECD TG 439 (GLP study). Three epidermis units were treated with 16 μL test item for 42 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with 25 x 1 mL of DPBS. The epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues with MTT, extracting the precipitated formazan crystals using isopropanol and incubating the tissues for overnight in a refrigerator protected from light, and finally measuring the concentration of formazan by determining the OD at 570 nm. Under the test conditions, the mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 2.4%, versus 1.2% of the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) and 100% of the negative control (DPBS). Therefore, the test item must be considered as classified for skin irritation (Cat. 2).
