Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 431 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test)
Version / remarks:
using the SkinEthic Reconstructed Human Epidermal model
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test is based on the hypothesis that irritant chemicals are able to penetrate the stratum corneum of the SkinEthic RHE model and are sufficiently cytotoxic to cause cell death in the underlying cell layers. The experimental design of the study consists of a test for direct reduction of MTT by the test item, followed by the main test.
GLP compliance:
yes

9β,11β-epoxy-17,21-dihydroxy-16α-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione
EC Number:
246-529-2
EC Name:
9β,11β-epoxy-17,21-dihydroxy-16α-methylpregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione
Cas Number:

Test material form:
solid: crystalline
Details on test material:
Sponsor's identification : GR46708X
Description : pale yellow crystalline solid
Purity : >98%
Date received : 04 July 2011
Expiry date : 30 June 2012
Storage conditions: room temperature in the dark

Test animals

Species:
other: SkinEthic RHE tissues
Strain:
other: Human
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The SkinEthic RHE tissues (Day 18), were stored at room temperature prior to transferring into 6-well plates designated ‘arrival plates’ containing 1 mL of maintenance medium. It was important to ensure that there were no air bubbles present under the tissue inserts. The tissues were incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2 in air

Test system

Type of coverage:
other: SKINETHIC RHE MODEL KIT
Preparation of test site:
not specified
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
Approximately 25 mg of the test item was topically applied to the corresponding tissues
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4hrs and 24 hrs
Observation period:
No Data
Number of animals:
NA
Details on study design:
Duplicate tissues were left untreated to serve as negative controls for the 4 and 24-Hour exposure periods. Duplicate tissues treated with 50 µL of Triton X-100 (0.1% w/v in distilled water) served as positive controls for the 24-Hour exposure period only.

The maintenance medium from the 24-Hour test and control treatment plates, was retained for possible analysis of the inflammatory mediator levels of IL-1α and IL-8.


The maintenance medium was drawn out of each well, collected into pre-labelled 1.5 mL Eppendorf tubes and stored at -14 to -30oC.
