Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item showed minimal reactivity towards both peptides. The test item is considered as “non-sensitiser”.

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 Cyclic Glucamide C8-C10 was dissolved in dist. water : acetonitrile 1:1 (v/v), based on the results of the pre-experiments.

The molecular weight and purity of the mixture was derived from all components (excluding water and unidentified components). Based on the derived molecular weight of 313 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared. For the water and the unknown components the test item was corrected with a factor of 1.1. All test item preparations were tested in parallel 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 analysis.

All test item solutions were freshly prepared immediately prior to use.

For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item no turbidity or precipitation 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. No precipitation, turbidity or phase separation was observed for any of the samples.

For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item no turbidity or precipitation 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. Phase separation was observed for the samples of the positive control (including 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 phase separation was regarded as not relevant.

No co-elution of test item with the peptide peaks was observed. Sensitising potential of the test item was predicted from the mean peptide depletion of both analysed peptides (cysteine and lysine) by comparing the peptide concentration of the test item treated samples to the corresponding reference control C (RC Cdist. water : acetonitrile 1:1 (v/v)).

The 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed minimal reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was 6.38% (0.10%). The unidentified components seemed not have influenced the test item, therefore, based on the prediction model 1 the test item can be considered as non-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 64.74%.

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 (347% experiment 1; 306% experiment 2) and
200% for CD54 (338% experiment 1; 477% experiment 2) were clearly exceeded.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item did not upregulate the expression of the cell surface markers in at least two independent experiment runs. Therefore, the test item might be considered as non-sensitiser.

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 Cyclic Glucamide C8-C10 was dissolved in DMSO. 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.

A CV75 of 410.23 ± 140.29 µg/mL was derived in the dose finding assay. Based on the CV75, the main experiment was performed covering the following concentration steps:

492.28, 410.23, 341.86, 284.88, 237.40, 197.84, 164.86, 137.39 µg/mL

In all experiments no precipitation or turbidity of the test item was observed for all concentration steps when mixing the test item stock solutions 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.

Cytotoxic effects were observed for the cells treated with the test item. Relative cell viability at the highest test item concentration was reduced to 19.1% (CD86), 21.4% (CD54) and 20.0% (isotype IgG1 control) in the first experiment and to 27.7% (CD86), 26.1% (CD54) and 25.9% (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 the cell surface marker CD54 was not upregulated above the threshold of 200% in any of the experiments. Therefore, the test item can be considered as non-sensitiser.

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 (3.38 (experiment 1); 2.50 (experiment 2) and 3.32 (experiment 3)).

Acceptance Criteria

The test meets acceptance criteria if:
- the luciferase activity induction of the positive control is statistically significant above the threshold of 1.5 (using a t-test) in at least one of the tested concentrations
- the average induction in the three technical replicates for the positive control at a concentration of
64 µM is between 2 and 8
- the EC1.5 value of the positive control is within two standard deviations of the historical mean
- the average coefficient of variation (CV; consisting of 6 wells) of the luminescence reading for the
negative (solvent) control DMSO is <20% in each repetition.

The controls fullfilled the validity criteria of the test.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
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 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 Cyclic Glucamide C8-C10 was dissolved in DMSO. Based on a calculated molecular weight of 312.89 g/mol a stock solution of 200 mM was prepared. The test item contained 8.5% unidentified components, therefore, it was corrected with a correction factor of 1.1.

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 2.24 was determined at a test item concentration of 1000 µM. The corresponding cell viability was 16.9%. The lowest tested concentration with a significant luciferase induction >1.5 (1.75) was found to be 500 µM. The corresponding cell viability was >70% (70.7%).The calculated EC1.5 was <1000 µM (337.79 µM).

In the second experiment, a max luciferase activity (Imax) induction of 1.51 was determined at a test item concentration of 1000 µM. The corresponding cell viability was 15.0%. This was the only concentration with a significant luciferase induction >1.5. The calculated EC1.5 was <1000 µM (921.81 µM).

In the third experiment, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated.

A dose-response for luciferase activity induction could be observed for the first run but not for the third run. Therefore, under the condition of this study, the test item is considered as non-sensitiser.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

No skin sensitisation potential is observed in OECD 442C/D/E studies. Therefore, no classification is warrant for the substance according to CLP.
