NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: 4 tissues per test item together with a negative control and positive control.

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- Fresh tissues / killed tissues: freeze-killed tissues
- Procedure used to prepare the killed tissues (if applicable): Living epidermis was transferred to a freezer (≤-15°C), thawed, and then again transferred to (≤-15°C). The freeze-killed epidermis was stored at ≤ -15°C until use. Freeze-killed tissues were thawed by placing them for 1 hour at room temperature in a 6 well plate on 0.9 ml DMEM medium.
- N. of replicates : 2 tissues treated with test item and 2 negative control treated tissues.
- Method of calculation used: The net OD of the treated freeze-killed tissues was subtracted from the ODs of the test item treated viable tissues.
- Test for colour interference by the test item: 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was checked for possible colour interference before the study was started. Some non-coloured test items may change into coloured items in aqueous conditions and thus stain the skin tissues during the 1-hour exposure. To assess the colour interference, 50 μl of 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione or 50 μl Milli-Q water as a negative control were added to 0.3 ml Milli-Q water. The mixture was incubated for approximately 1 hour at 37.0 ± 1.0°C in the dark. At the end of the exposure time the mixture was shaken and it was checked if a blue / purple colour change was observed.
- Test for reduction of MTT by the test item: 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was checked for possible direct MTT reduction before the study was started. To assess the ability of the test item to reduce MTT, 50 μl of 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was added to 1 ml MTT (Sigma, Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands) solution (1 mg/ml) in phosphate buffered saline. The mixture was incubated for approximately 1 hour at 37.0 ± 1.0ºC. A negative control, sterile Milli-Q water was tested concurrently.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: No specified
- Direct-MTT reduction: In addition to the normal 3-minute and 1-hour procedure, two freeze-killed tissues treated with test item and two freeze-killed negative control treated tissues were used for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT at each timepoint. The non-specific reduction of MTT by 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was 0.6% and 4% of the negative control tissues after 3 minutes and 1 hour respectively.
- Colour interference with MTT: 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was checked for colour interference in aqueous conditions and for possible direct MTT reduction by adding the test item to MTT medium. Because a colour change was observed by adding MTT-medium it was concluded that 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione did interact with the MTT endpoint.

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY:

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: The maximum inter-tissue variability in viability between two tissues treated identically was less than 26% and the maximum difference in percentage between the mean viability of two tissues and one of the two tissues was less than 15% for the negative control and test item. For the positive control, the maximum inter-tissue variability in viability between two tissues treated identically was up to 31% and the maximum difference in percentage between the mean viability of two tissues and one of the two tissues was up to 19%, however since the viabilities were below 20% the acceptability criteria were met. It was therefore concluded that the test system functioned properly.

Executive summary:

This report describes the ability of 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was tested through topical application for 3 minutes and 1 hour.

The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD guideline no. 431 and EC guideline B.40 Bis.

Batch MR92143651 of 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione is a Reddish solid below 25°C / liquid above 25°C with a purity of 86.4%. 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was applied undiluted (50 μl) directly on top of the skin tissue.

The positive control had a mean relative tissue viability of 7% after 3 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The acceptability criteria for the maximum inter-tissue variability in viability between two tissues treated identically and the maximum difference in percentage between the mean viability of two tissues and one of the two tissues were met, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione did interact with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT). In addition to the normal 3-minute and 1-hour procedure, two freeze-killed tissues treated with test item and two freeze-killed negative control treated tissues were used for the cytotoxicity evaluation with MTT at each timepoint. The non-specific reduction of MTT by 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was 0.6% and 4% of the negative control tissues after 3 minutes and 1 hour respectively. The net OD of the treated freeze-killed tissues was subtracted from the ODs of the test item treated viable tissues.

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione compared to the negative control tissues was 99% and 78%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment, 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione is considered to be not corrosive.

Finally, it is concluded that this test is valid and that 1-Phenyldecane-1,3-dione is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
