- Executive summary:
The purpose of this GLP compliant study (based on the based on the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals: Test Guideline No. 442C: In Chemico Skin Sensitisation: Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA)) was to assess the reactivity and sensitizing potential of the test item. This direct peptide reactivity assay can be used as part of a testing battery (including e.g. h-CLAT (human Cell Line Activation Test), ARE-Nrf2 luciferase test method) based on the OECD adverse outcome pathway for the assessment of the skin sensitisation potential of chemicals. The test item was dissolved in acetonitrile when incubated for 24 ± 2 hours in the range between 22.5 and 30 °C.
There were no co-elution peaks in either the cysteine or lysine assays. Solutions of the test item were analyzed by the DPRA method in both the cysteine and lysine containing synthetic peptides. Based on this assay, with an overall depletion value of 1.74%, the test item was placed in the reactivity class of “no to minimal” and hence it is predicted by DPRA not to be a skin sensitizer.

In the cytotoxicity test, cytotoxic effects were observed following incubation with the test item concentration of 2000 μM (highest tested concentration, threshold of cytotoxicity: < 75%). The CV75 value of the cytotoxicity test was calculated as 1510.9 μM. The test item was tested in 2 independent main experiments. The following concentrations of the test item were tested in the main experiments: 729, 874, 1049, 1259, 1511, 1813 μM. After treatment with the test item for 48 ± 1 hours the luciferase induction was not above or equal to (≥) 1.5 fold compared to the solvent control in at least 2 consecutive non-cytotoxic tested concentrations. Therefore, the LuSens prediction is considered negative.
The acceptance criteria were met:
The average luciferase activity induction obtained with the positive control, 120 μM EGDMA was ≥ 2.5 (ME 1: 8.53; ME 2: 6.62), the positive control had a relative cell viability ≥ 70% as compared to the solvent control (ME 1: 92.46%; ME 2: 122.51%), the average luciferase activity induction obtained with the negative control, 5000 μM Lactic acid, as well as the basal expression of untreated cells was < 1.5 fold as compared to the average solvent control (ME 1: 1.31; ME 2: 0.91), the average coefficient of variation (CV%) of the luminescence reading for the solvent controls (DMSO) should be below 20% in each main experiment (ME 1: 7.9%; ME 2: 6.6%) and at least three test concentrations had a cell viability of at least 70% relative to the solvent controls. Moreover, since the result is considered negative, at least one concentration was cytotoxic, i.e. had a cell viability < 70%.
In conclusion, the test item did not activate the LuSens cells up to a concentration of 1813 μg/mL under the test conditions of this study. Therefore, the test item is considered negative for the second key event of the skin sensitisation Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP).
