Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: in vitro test: negative control 0.9 % NaCl
Amount / concentration applied:
25 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
3 min and 60 min (3 inserts per period)
Observation period:
after the exposure period of 3 min or 60 min the inserts were washed carefully in PBS and MTT reduction assay was performed
Number of animals:
in vitro test
Details on study design:
The experiment was carried out in accordance with the OECD 431 guideline as well as with an EC guideline (amending Council Directtive 67/548/EEC B 40 skin corrosion) using commercially available reconstructed human epidermis(RHS) model EST-1000. Undiluted test substance was applied topically to the RHS model: 50 µl of the test item per insert ( RT: three inserts per period of incubation). 0.9 % NaCl (50µl) treated epidermal models were used as negative controls (determination in triplicate). After the exposure period of 3 min or 60 min the inserts were washed carefully in PBS. Afterwards the MTT reduction assay was performed to measure the cell viability.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: corrosive
Executive summary:

An in-vitro study for predicting non-specific, corrosive potential of Additin E 459 by using reconstructed human skin (RHS) EST-1000 was performed in accordance with OECD TG 431 and with EC guideline (amending Concil Direcrive 67/548/EEC B 40 Skin corrosion). Additin E 459 was tested undiluted (25 mg per insert, plus 50 µl 0.9 % NaCl to moisten and to ensure good contact with the skin). An incubation time of 3 min or of 60 min was used to determine time related toxic effects. After incubation the MTT reduction assay was performed to measure the cell viability which was 47 % and 37 % , respectively. Thus, the results show that a corrosive property of the test item was determined by the assay used.
