In vitro test system

Test system:

human skin model

Source species:

human

Cell type:

non-transformed keratinocytes

Cell source:

skin obtained from plastic surgery from multiple donors

Source strain:

Wistar

Details on animal used as source of test system:

The test system is a commercially available EpiDermTM-Kit, procured by MatTek.
The EpiDermTM tissue consists of human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multi-layered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers representing main
lipid classes analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDermTM tissues are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts.

Vehicle:

Control samples:

yes, concurrent negative control

yes, concurrent positive control

Number of replicates:

3

Test animals

Species:

rat

Strain:

Wistar

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

abraded

Vehicle:

water

Controls:

yes, concurrent positive control

yes, concurrent negative control

Duration of treatment / exposure:

One plate (3 tissues) was used as negative control; each tissue was treated with 30 µL DPBS buffer, a nylon mesh was added in order to ensure sufficient contact with the tissue surface.
One plate was used as positive control; each tissue was treated with 30 µL 5% SDS-solution, a nylon mesh was added in order to ensure sufficient contact with the tissue surface.
One plate was used for treatment with the test item:
The tissues were wetted with 25 µL DPBS buffer before applying the test item and spread-ing it to match the tissue size.

% tissue viability of positive control SDS	£20% of negative control	2.2% %
SD of mean viability of the tissue replicates (%)	≤18%	1.6% (negative control) 0.2% (positive control) 1.5% (test item)

 

Two experiments were performed.

The first experiment was not valid, because the standard deviation of the three replicates of the test item was 18.5%, required is ≤18%. This experiment is not reported in this report, but the raw data are kept in the GLP- archive of the test facility.

After the treatment, the mean value of relative tissue viability was reduced to 99.9%. This value is above the threshold for skin irritation (50%).

The test item N-(4-anilinophenyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide is considered as non-irritant to skin.

The optical density of the negative control was well within the required acceptability crite-rion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8.

The positive control has met the acceptance criterion too, for thus ensuring the validity of the test system.

Variation within replicates was within the accepted range for negative control, positive control and test item (required: ≤ 18%).

For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test item N-(4-anilinophenyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide is considered as non-irritant to skin.
