Preparation of Peptide Stock Solutions
Stock solutions of each peptide at concentrations of 0.667 mM were prepared by dissolution of pre-weighed aliquots of the appropriate peptide in ca 20 mL aliquots of the appropriate buffer solution (Cysteine in 100 mM phosphate buffer pH 7.5, Lysine in 100 mM Ammonium acetate buffer pH 10.2).

Methanol solutions of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) and the positive control were diluted with the Cysteine peptide to prepare solutions containing 0.5 mM Cysteine and 5 mM of either Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) or the positive control.

Calculations
The peak area response for the peptide in each calibration chromatogram was measured. Calibration curves were constructed by linear regression of standard response versus standard concentration. The area responses of the peptide peak observed at the characteristic retention time of each peptide in each sample chromatogram was measured. Peptide depletion was determined using the following equation:

% Peptide depletion = 100 - ((Peptide peak area in replicate depletion samples (x 100)) / Mean Peptide peak area of reference control samples B or C)
For clarification, control samples B were used for calculation of positive controls and control samples C were used for calculation of depletion samples.

Solubility Assessment

The solubility of the Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) in acetonitrile at a nominal concentration of 100 mM was not confirmed, solubility was confirmed in methanol at a nominal concentration of 100 mM.

Reactivity Assessment

The DPRA prediction and the reactivity of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) based on the Cysteine peptide depletion and the individual depletion values in the Cysteine peptide and the Lysine peptide is presented inTable 1. The Lysine peptide result was confirmed to be a false positive due to ion-pairing interactions, with an extra late running peak seen eluting in the chromatogram that when summed with the Lysine peptide peak areathe total peak area matched that of the positive control. As the result generated when using the Lysine containing synthetic peptides was affected by these ion-pairing interactions, the Lysine result has been excluded and only the Cysteine result is used for classification.

Conclusions:

Solutions of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) were successfully analyzed by the validated DPRA analytical method (Envigo analytical method FIA/M101/15) in Cysteine containing synthetic peptides. Solutions of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) analyzed by the validated method in Lysine containing synthetic peptides appeared to show the test item to be a strong skin sensitizer. This was investigated further and was confirmed to be a false positive due to ion-pairing effects between the test item and the HPLC column, as a result the Lysine result has been excluded and only the Cysteine result is reported
The Cysteine result places Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) in the reactivity class of “no or minimal reactivity” and therefore it is predicted to be a non skin sensitizer.

Executive summary:

This purpose of this study (based on the OECD guideline for the testing of chemicals,In chemicoSkin Sensitisation: Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA), OECD/OCDE document TG 442C) was to assess the reactivity and sensitizing potential of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015). 

Solutions of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) were successfully analyzed by the validated DPRA analytical method (Envigo analytical method FIA/M101/15) in Cysteine containing synthetic peptides.

Solutions of Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) analyzed by the validated method in Lysine containing synthetic peptides appeared to show the test item to be a strong skin sensitizer. This was considered to be a false positive due to the presence of an extra peak in the chromatogram eluting at approximately 13 minutes, when the peak areas of the Lysine peptide peak and this extra peak were summed, the total peak area matched that of the positive controls in the Lysine assay. It was considered that this could be the result of ion-pairing interactions with the HPLC column used in the validated method. An investigation confirmed the false positive result was due to ion-pairing effects between the test item and the HPLC column used in the validated method. As the result generated when using the Lysine containing synthetic peptides was affected by these ion-pairing interactions, the Lysine result has been excluded and only the Cysteine result is used for classification.

The Cysteine result places Benzenesulfonic acid, mono-C10-13-alkyl derivs., compds. with N1,N1-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine (ACAR 16015) in the reactivity class of “no or minimal reactivity” and therefore it is predicted to be a non skin sensitizer.
