NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: In each time interval three tissues were used per test item, three tissues for the positive control and three tissues for negative control.

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- killed tissues
- N. of replicates : two killed tissues were treated with 25 mg of the test item (KT) and two killed tissues were left untreated as a control (KU)
- Method of calculation used: Non-specific reduction of MTT (NSMTT) was calculated relative to the negative control of living tissues (NK) according to the following formula: NSMTT [%] = [(ODKT - ODKU)/ODNK] * 100
If the test item is classified as non-irritant and if non-specific MTT reduction is ≤ 30% relative to the negative control of living epidermis, the true MTT metabolic conversion (TODTT) of the test item treated living tissues TM was corrected according to the following formula: TODTT = ODTM – (ODKT – ODKU)
If non-specific MTT reduction is > 30% relative to the negative control of living epidermis, the test item is considered as incompatible with the test method.

To check the colouring potential of the test item 25 mg of the test item were mixed per 300 μL aqua dest. and per 300 μL isopropanol each in a transparent recipient and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 60 min. If the test item is classified as non-irritant and colouring is detected by unaided eye-assessment, and the chemical in water and/or isopropanol absorbs light in the range of 570 ± 30 nm, the test item was checked for its tissue-colouring potential.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: No
- Direct-MTT reduction: The mixture of 25 mg test item per 1 mL MTT medium showed no reduction of MTT compared to the solvent. The mixture did not turn blue/purple. Therefore, NSMTT equalled 0%.
- Colour interference with MTT: The mixture of 25 mg of the test item per 300 μl aqua dest. and per 300 μL isopropanol showed no colouring detectable by unaided eye-assessment. Therefore, NSC equalled 0%.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (1.806). (Table 3)
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 20% (3.7%).
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: Standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 18% (0.2% – 1.7%).
- Range of historical values if different from the ones specified in the test guideline: Historical control data (n=40) from 2015-2018 was presented and was within guideline standards (Table 4)

Conclusions:

In the in vitro skin irritation test using the reconstructed human epidermal model EpiDerm, 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine was irritating.

Executive summary:

In an in vitro skin irritation assay in a human epidermal model EpiDerm (183804), reconstructed human epidermis tissue was exposed to 25 mg of 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (99.29%) for 60±1 minutes (35 minutes at 37±1°C and 25 minutes at room temperature). PBS was used for the negative control and 5% SDS was used for the positive control. After removal of the test substance, tissues were post-incubated for 42±2 hours. After removal of the test substance, tissues were incubated with MTT for 3 hours incubation. The OD570 of isopropyl alcohol extracts was measured on a spectrophotometer. Relative cell viability was calculated for each tissue as % of the mean viability of the negative control tissues.

The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (1.806). The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 20% (3.7%). Standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 18% (0.2% – 1.7%).

The colour of the test substance did not interfere with the endpoint. The test substance is not directly MTT reducing. The average viability of tissues treated by the positive control, 5% SDS, was 3.7 % of the negative control average value. The average viability of tissues treated by the test item, 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine, was 9.4 % of the negative control average value i.e. viability was > 50 %. According to these results, the test substance is irritating.
