CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
Tetrapropylene succinic acid monoisobutylester was checked for possible direct MTT reduction and colour interference in the Skin corrosion test using EpiDerm as a skin model and (project 511530). Because solutions did not turn blue / purple and a blue / purple precipitate was not observed it was concluded that Tetrapropylene succinic acid monoisobutylester did not interfere with the MTT endpoint

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- Acceptability of the assay
The in vitro skin irritation test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the three tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤18.
b) The mean relative tissue viability of the positive control should be ≤50% relative to the negative control and the Standard Deviation value (SD) of the % viability should be ≤18.
c) The SD calculated from individual % tissue viabilities of the three identically treated replicates should be ≤18.
Data evaluation and statistical procedures
A test item is considered irritant in the skin irritation test if:
The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is ≤ 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
A test item is considered non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test if:
The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is > 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- It is concluded that Tetrapropylene succinic acid monoisobutylester is irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
- Executive summary:
In order to assess the possible skin irritation potential, Tetrapropylene succinic acid monoisobutylester was tested in vitro through topical application for 15 minutes on a human three dimensional epidermal in vitro skin model (EPISKIN Standard model). The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD 439 (In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method (adopted 28 July 2015)). The test item was applied undiluted directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item.
The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 4.9%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for Tetrapropylene succinic acid was below 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment it is considered to be irritant.The positive control had a mean cell viability of 10% after 15 minutes exposure.
