 ENDPOINT DEREK NEXUS PREDICTION
 SKIN SENSITISATION  PLAUSIBLE

Skin sensitisation: murine local lymph node assay (LLNA), guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT), human maximisation patch test Potential mechanism: Hapten acting as an electrophilic acylating agent [Aptula and Roberts] Fused beta-lactam molecules based on the penicillin (II) and cephalosporin (III) scaffold have demonstrated sensitisation in the LLNA, GPMT and human maximisation patch test. The most studied compound is penicillin G (benzylpenicillin) which has displayed activity in the LLNA [Ashby et al], GPMT [Kristofferson et al] and human maximisation patch test [Kligman].

Two additional penicillins [Kristofferson et al] and seven cephalosporin-based antibiotics [Hattori et al] have also shown activity in the GPMT, examples include cephalothin and flomoxef. In support of toxicophore (I) unfused beta-propiolactone is classified as a strong sensitiser in the LLNA [Ashby et al]. In exposed human populations, sensitisation to penicillin was reported in 21 out of 333 nurses [Rudzki et al 1989a] and 8 out of 107 pharmaceutical workers [Rudzki et al 1989b] with occupational dermatitis. In their role as antibiotics, beta-lactams are electrophilic acylating agents that undergo ring-opening [Page and Laws] and are expected to promote skin sensitisation through the formation of adducts with skin proteins through a similar mechanism. Whilst fused beta-lactam systems (II, III) are inherently reactive due to distorted amide bond geometries, unfused monolactams possess comparable hydrolysis rates to acyclic amides [Washkuhn and Robinson]. Conversely, beta-lactones (I) are highly reactive acylating agents [Perez-Prior et al]. The scope of this alert has been defined to include fused lactam and unfused lactone molecules with positive LLNA, GPMT or human patch test results. beta-Lactam containing pharmaceuticals conforming to toxicophores II and III have been designed to be efficient acylating agents. Features that promote reactivity include an electron withdrawing substituent positioned at C3 [Boyd et al] or a leaving group at 3' in cephalosporins [Boyd, Perez-Inestrosa et al]. Sulphoxides, sulphones or ethers attached to C4 also promote reactivity [Mulchande et al] with tazobactam reported to produce a moderate sensitising response in the LLNA [ECHA 2008]. Additionally clavulanic acid was responsible for a case of occupational contact dermatitis in one subject [Kim et al] but did not produce a positive response in the LLNA up to 50%, despite exhibiting dose-related responses [ECHA 2013]. Thioxocephalosporin [Tsang et al] demonstrated similar reactivity to cephalosporin Derek Nexus Prediction Report and therefore thio-analogues of penicillins and cephalosporins are included in the alert. Unfused beta-lactams are excluded from this alert based on their lack of reactivity, but unfused betalactones (I) [Perez-Prior et al] and beta-thioxolactones are inherently reactive and therefore are included with the scope of this alert.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
skin sensitisation:

Prediction : plausible
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation of the target compound was predicted employing an in silico approach: the decision rule system provided by Derek Nexus.

The predictor was employed in order to apply a weight of evidence approach. In the case of the target PF-598 Derek Nexus predicted the skin sensistisation as plausible.
