Description of key information

Skin sensitisation is considered as an allergic response following skin contact. The sensitisation potential can be assessed by numerous assays including in vivo studies and in vitro

experiments.

The in vitro assays performed show that due to the physicochemical properties of the compound, namely logP and limited solubility, the in vitro approach is technically challenging. Two of the three assays performed are inconclusive thus a conclusion based on in vitro data is not possible.

However, QSAR analysis of the chemical structure provides additional information. This analysis resulted in two structural alerts for skin sensitisation. The subsequent EC3 prediction based on information of close structural analogues reveals a moderate potential for skin sensitisation.

Justification for type of information:
The test item solubility was tested in acetonitrile, water, isopropanol, methanol, ethanol, 1,4-butandiol, N,Ndimethylformamide and tert-butanol. The solubility of the test item was tested at 100 mM. The test item was not soluble in any of all suitable solvents. Therefore, the study cannot be performed.

Type of study:
activation of keratinocytes
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 (6.02 (experiment 1) and 4.40 (experiment 2)).

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:
other: The result should be considered in the context of integrated approach such as IATA.
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 the test material was dissolved in THF. Based on a molecular weight of 1628 g/mol a stock solution of 200 mM was prepared.

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.

Microscopically, precipitates of the test item were observed after the incubation in the medium for the concentrations from 7.81 µM to 2000 µM. In the first main experiment cytotoxic effects were observed but no dose response was obtained. In the second experiment no cytotoxic effects were observed. Therefore, it was assumed that the cytotoxic effects in the first experiment were caused by the precipitations. Furthermore, no cytotoxic effects were observed microscopically. 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.

The positive control (DNCB) led to an upregulation of the expression of CD54 and CD86 in all three experiments. The threshold of 150% for CD86 (301% experiment 1; 242% experiment 2; 288% experiment 3) and 200% for CD54 (256% experiment 1; 292% experiment 2; 396% experiment 3) were clearly exceeded.

Interpretation of results:
other: The results should be considered in the context of integrated approach such as IATA
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. Furthermore, due to the high Log KOW the test item has to be considered as inconclusive. 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 the test item was dissolved in THF. 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.

Due to a lack of cytotoxicity, no CV75 could be derived. Therefore, the main experiment was performed covering the following concentration steps:

1000, 833.33, 694.44, 578.70, 482.25, 401.88, 334.90, 279.08 µg/mL

In all experiments precipitation 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.

No cytotoxic effects were observed for the cells treated with the test item. Relative cell viability at the highest test item concentration was 96.9% (CD86), 96.9% (CD54) and 97.0% (isotype IgG1 control) in the first experiment, 92.2% (CD86), 92.1% (CD54) and 92.0% (isotype IgG1 control) in the second experiment and 96.6% (CD86), 96.3% (CD54) and 96.1% (isotype IgG1 control) in the third experiment.

The expression of the cell surface marker CD86 was upregulated to 151% only in the second experiment. The upregulation above the threshold of 150% was observed at a concentration of 279.08 µg/mL. The expression of the cell surface marker CD54 was not upregulated above the threshold of 200% in any of the experiments.

Since the cell surface marker CD86 exceeded the threshold only in one of the three independent experiments, the test item could be considered to be a non-sensitiser. Due to the strong observed precipitation in all experiments an interaction between the test item and the cells cannot be guaranteed and a negative result must be considered carefully. Furthermore, due to the high Log Kow the test item has to be considered as inconclusive.

Other effects / acceptance of results:
Two alerts for skin sensitisation have been identified. See QPRF for details.
Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Using Derek and Meteor Nexus , the skin sensitising potential assessment resulted in two alerts for skin sensitisation. The substance is within the applicability domain of the model. Thus the estimation can be regarded as accurate. Due to the prediction result, the compound should be regarded as moderate skin sensitiser.
