Description of key information

An in vivo study was published in 2001 describing a test design equivalent to OECD Guideline 406 (Guinea Pig Maximisation Test)

The results for esculin were as follows:

0% sensitisation was observed at 0.01 M,

25% sensitistation rate was observed at 0.1 M

As the sensitistion rate is below 30% no classification is required according to CLP.

In addition an OECD Guideline 442D study was conducted (In Vitro Skin Sensitisation: ARE-Nrf2 Luciferase Test Method).

In the first and second experiments, no significant luciferase induction > 1.5 was found in the tested concentration range. Therefore, no EC1.5 value could be calculated. Under the condition of this study the test item is therefore considered as non sensitiser.

A second in vitro study (OECD Guideline 442C (In Chemico Skin Sensitisation: Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA))) shows

Co-elution of esculin with the lysine peptide peak was observed and cannot be used for evaluation. A low reactivity towards the synthetic cystein peptides at 100 mM stock solution was observed. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was > 13.89% (14.09%) and is therefore in the borderline range.

Based on the results of the in vivo study we conclude that no classification according to CLP is required.

Conclusions:
In the present study Aesculin was dissolved in DMF. Based on a molecular weight of 367.31 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared.
For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item no turbidity or precipitation was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution and lysine peptide solution.
Co-elution of the test item with the lysine peptide peak was observed. The peak area determined in the co-elution controls corresponds to 0.0185 mM of lysine peptide. Therefore, the given peak areas and corresponding lysine peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion and cannot be used for evaluation.
The 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed low reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of the cysteine peptide was > 13.89% (14.09%). Based on the prediction model 2 the test item can be considered as sensitiser.
The 100 mM stock solution of the positive control (cinnamic aldehyde) showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was 65.32%. The controls confirmed the validity of the study for both, the cysteine and lysine run.
