Details on study design:

RECONSTRUCTED TISSUES:
The experiment was carried out on a reconstructed human epidermis epiCS (CeIlSystems, Troisdorf, Germany). The tissue equivalents were shipped in 24 well cell culture plates on Agarose supplemented with maintenance medium (Kit contents epiCS; CellSystems, Cat.NO. CS-1001). Inserts were of 0.6 cm2 size. All tests were performed in triplets for each concentration and each time point (3 min or 60 min).

ADAPTATION TO CELL CULTURE CONDITIONS:
Inserts with epiCS reconstructed human epidermis (0.6 cm2) were packed under sterile conditions and were shipped refrigerated on supplemented Agarose. Upon arrival, 6 well culture plates were pre-filled with 1ml of fresh and cool maintenance medium. The reconstructed tissues were placed into the prepared cell culture plates (1 insert/well) and were adapted to the recommended tissue culture conditions (5 % CO2, 37°C, max humidity) afterwards for at least 6 hours before use. In case of cultivation of the skin equivalents for more than 24 hours, a daily medium change is required by aspirating the medium and replacing it by 1ml new maintenance medium (37 °C) for each well.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS:
The environmental conditions in the incubator were standardised as folIows:
Incubator temperature: 37 ± 2 °C, CO2 gas concentration: 5 %, Humidity: maximum
Occasional deviations from these conditions occurred e.g. as a result of opening the incubators door, but this has no apparent effect on the course or outcome of the study. All incubation steps were performed in a CO2 atmosphere incubator (Heraeus, Osterode, Germany).

APPLICATION OF THE TEST MATERIAL AND INCUBATION:
For testing of chemical induced corrosivity the epiCS inserts were exposed to 25mg of the test item (plus 50 µl 0.9 % NaCl to moisten and ensure good contact with the skin) for 3min (RT) and 60 min in the incubator (3 inserts per period of incubation time), respectively. 0.9 % NaCI (50 µl) treated epidermal models were used as negative controls (determination in triplicates).

DETERMINATION OF CELL VIABILITY (MTT):
After the incubation period the inserts were washed carefully in PBS and MTT reduction was performed. For viability testing the inserts were placed in new 24 well plates containing 300 µl of MTT solution (37°C, 1 mg/ml in MTT-assay medium, delivered by Cell Systems). The tissues were incubated for about 3 hours under cell culture conditions (5 % CO2, 37°C, max humidity). The extraction of blue formazan was performed in Isopropanol (24well plates, 2 ml/insert) on a vertical shaker (at least 60 min). For deterrnination of cell viability the absorption of the Isopropanol-extracts were measured in duplicates at 570 nm in an automatie reader (EL808, Bio-Tek; 96 well format, 200 µl). Data acquisition and evaluation were done with "Gen5" (software by Bio-Tek). The MTT reduction assay is the most frequently used assay for the determination of cell viability. The assay depends on the intracellular capacity of living cells to chemically reduce the yellow 3-[4,5-Dimethythiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany) to blue formazan crystals. The test has shown to give accurate and reproducible results in various laboratories and has practically been modified for accurate analysis of cell viability in three dimensional skin models.

RELIABILITY CHECK:
Reliability of the test was confirmed before by interlaboratory validation.

Table 1: Summary of results from in vitro corrosion test with AFP-Picolinmethylamid

Compound	Cell viability after 3 min. [%]	Cell viability after 60 min. [%]	Classification
AFP-Picolinmethylamid	105.05	105.42	non-corrosive
Negative control	100.00	100.00	non-corrosive

 AFP-Picolinmethylamid was characterised by no significant impact on cell viability after 3 min. or after the 60 min. period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: no corrosive property

Executive summary:

A study for predicting non-specific, corrosive potential of AFP-Picolinmethylamid by using reconstructed human skin (OECD TG 431) was performed. For the determination of time related cytotoxic effects the incubation periods were 3 min. and 60 min. The MTT (Methylthiazoletetrazolium) viability test results (3 min.: 105.05 % viability; 60 min.: 105.42 % viability) showed, that the test item has no corrosive property under the conditions of the assay used.
