3.4 The uncertainty of the prediction (OECD principle 4)
Skin sensitisation in mammal is at least EQUIVOCAL, i.e. There is an equal weight of evidence for and against the proposition.
3.5 The chemical and biological mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result (OECD principle 5)
Alert: 432 Thiol or thiol exchange agent.
This alert describes the skin sensitisation of aromatic amines and their N-protonated forms according to the toxicophore shown.
In order to elicit a sensitisation response aromatic amines require transformation to a species capable of reacting with a skin protein nucleophilic group. Two key mechanisms through which this could be achieved have been postulated, both of which may have a role to play.
Mechanism 1:
By analogy with the generally accepted mechanism for Ames test mutagenicity, it has been suggested that N-hydroxylation occurs, possibly mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes [Westphal et al]. Subsequent O-esterification is thought to involve two principal processes; acetylation mediated by N-acetyltransferase, or sulphation mediated by sulphotransferase. Non-enzymatic cleavage can then give rise to a reactive nitrenium ion. The bioactivation of aromatic amines to the hydroxylamine has been confirmed within human keratinocytes [Reilly et al], while O-acetylation has been demonstrated in rodent skin [Kawakubo et al]. Sulphotransferases have been detected in human and rodent skin, although O-sulphation of the hydroxylamine has not been confirmed [Smith and Hotchkiss].
Mechanism 2:
In an alternative proposal, the protein-reactive species is a nitroso compound, formed by non-enzymatic autoxidation of a hydroxylamine [Naisbitt et al 2001]. Nitroso compounds have been shown to be highly reactive with thiol groups (glutathione), but unreactive towards amine groups (lysine, aniline) [Naisbitt et al 1996].
Alert:836 Thiourea
This alert covers the skin sensitisation potential of thioureas. While thiourea itself gave negative results in the GPMT [ECHA 1981], positive results have been reported for several substituted derivatives, including diethylthiourea (N,N'-diethylthiourea, DETU), diphenylthiourea (DPTU), dibutylthiourea (DBTU) and dilaurylthiourea (DLTU) [Nakamura et al, Momma et al]. Ethylene thiourea (ETU) has also produced a weakly positive response in the GPMT [Matsushita et al]. Despite activity in the GPMT, DETU, DBTU and DPTU gave negative results when tested in the LLNA [Momma et al, Samuelsson et al]. These compounds are believed to exhibit low skin penetration and as such the GPMT may be a more sensitive test than the LLNA since the former test uses intradermal, rather than topical, application. This is supported by positive results reported for DBTU, DPTU and DLTU in the sensitive LLNA, a variant of the LLNA which employs intradermal delivery [Ikarashi et al]. Human patch tests have identified several thioureas, including thiourea itself [Geier and Fuchs], DETU [Kroft and van der Valk, Liippo et al 2011], DBTU and DPTU, as potential human contact sensitisers [Liippo et al 2010].
It has been suggested that these compounds act as prohaptens rather than reacting with skin proteins directly. Metabolic oxidation of the thionocarbonyl group of thioureas may yield sulphenic (S-OH), sulphinic (-SO2H) or sulphonic acids (-SO3H) [Bergstrom et al, Kalgutkar et al]. These electrophilic metabolites are capable of reacting with nucleophilic groups in proteins. This mechanism is supported by in vitro trapping experiments using a skin-like P450 cocktail of the most common enzymes present in skin [Samuelsson et al]. Alternatively, thioureas may decompose to give electrophilic isothiocyanate compounds, although studies suggest that this is less important than metabolic activation [Samuelsson et al].
The scope of the alert is limited to thioureas where these compounds can undergo the mechanism discussed above. Both alkyl and aryl substituents are permitted based on the activity of compounds such as DETU and DPTU. Thioureas eliciting skin sensitisation in their thiol tautomeric form are covered elsewhere in the knowledge base.

The positive/negative prediction with toolbox concluded the substance to be sensitising. Using the same methodology to reach this conclusion, a prediction of EC3 was also carried out. The predicted EC3 suggests the compound to be a weak sensitiser. However, it is noteworthy that two of the 5 nearest compounds to the target structure are strong and moderate sensitisers, suggesting some uncertainty in the prediction. - Qualifier:

Further to this, using the same methodology it was possible to derive a predicted EC3 value for the compound, suggesting it to be a weak sensitizer, though this prediction is similarly mared by the nearest neighbors, some of which were strong and moderate sensitisers, suggesting some uncertainty.

Alert: 432 Thiol or thiol exchange agent. This alert describes the skin sensitisation of aromatic amines and their N-protonated forms according to the toxicophore shown.
In order to elicit a sensitisation response aromatic amines require transformation to a species capable of reacting with a skin protein nucleophilic group. Two key mechanisms through which this could be achieved have been postulated, both of which may have a role to play.
Mechanism 1: By analogy with the generally accepted mechanism for Ames test mutagenicity, it has been suggested that N-hydroxylation occurs, possibly mediated by cytochrome P450 enzymes [Westphal et al]. Subsequent O-esterification is thought to involve two principal processes; acetylation mediated by N-acetyltransferase, or sulphation mediated by sulphotransferase. Non-enzymatic cleavage can then give rise to a reactive nitrenium ion. The bioactivation of aromatic amines to the hydroxylamine has been confirmed within human keratinocytes [Reilly et al], while O-acetylation has been demonstrated in rodent skin [Kawakubo et al]. Sulphotransferases have been detected in human and rodent skin, although O-sulphation of the hydroxylamine has not been confirmed [Smith and Hotchkiss].
Mechanism 2: In an alternative proposal, the protein-reactive species is a nitroso compound, formed by non-enzymatic autoxidation of a hydroxylamine [Naisbitt et al 2001]. Nitroso compounds have been shown to be highly reactive with thiol groups (glutathione), but unreactive towards amine groups (lysine, aniline) [Naisbitt et al 1996].
Alert:836 Thiourea This alert covers the skin sensitisation potential of thioureas. While thiourea itself gave negative results in the GPMT [ECHA 1981], positive results have been reported for several substituted derivatives, including diethylthiourea (N,N'-diethylthiourea, DETU), diphenylthiourea (DPTU), dibutylthiourea (DBTU) and dilaurylthiourea (DLTU) [Nakamura et al, Momma et al]. Ethylene thiourea (ETU) has also produced a weakly positive response in the GPMT [Matsushita et al]. Despite activity in the GPMT, DETU, DBTU and DPTU gave negative results when tested in the LLNA [Momma et al, Samuelsson et al]. These compounds are believed to exhibit low skin penetration and as such the GPMT may be a more sensitive test than the LLNA since the former test uses intradermal, rather than topical, application. This is supported by positive results reported for DBTU, DPTU and DLTU in the sensitive LLNA, a variant of the LLNA which employs intradermal delivery [Ikarashi et al]. Human patch tests have identified several thioureas, including thiourea itself [Geier and Fuchs], DETU [Kroft and van der Valk, Liippo et al 2011], DBTU and DPTU, as potential human contact sensitisers [Liippo et al 2010].
It has been suggested that these compounds act as prohaptens rather than reacting with skin proteins directly. Metabolic oxidation of the thionocarbonyl group of thioureas may yield sulphenic (S-OH), sulphinic (-SO2H) or sulphonic acids (-SO3H) [Bergstrom et al, Kalgutkar et al]. These electrophilic metabolites are capable of reacting with nucleophilic groups in proteins. This mechanism is supported by in vitro trapping experiments using a skin-like P450 cocktail of the most common enzymes present in skin [Samuelsson et al]. Alternatively, thioureas may decompose to give electrophilic isothiocyanate compounds, although studies suggest that this is less important than metabolic activation [Samuelsson et al].
The scope of the alert is limited to thioureas where these compounds can undergo the mechanism discussed above. Both alkyl and aryl substituents are permitted based on the activity of compounds such as DETU and DPTU. Thioureas eliciting skin sensitisation in their thiol tautomeric form are covered elsewhere in the knowledge base. |

Justification for classification or non-classification
Introduction
The prediction of the skin sensitising potential ofSPS 5290 stage 3was performed with BIOVIA Discovery Studio (TOPKAT) 2020, VEGA NIC 1.1.5 (CAESAR, IRFMN/JRC), OECD QSAR Toolbox 4.5, Toxtree 3.1.0 and DEREK Nexus 6.0.1. The TOPKAT model for skin sensitisation was extended by including 70 compounds from the Covance database. The model statistics are reported in section Information to Extended TOPKAT Model.
The prediction results for SPS 5290 stage 3 are detailed in the (Q)SAR prediction reporting formats (QPRFs). Reliability is assigned to each prediction by expert judgement considering similar structures in the data set, prediction statistics, the applicability domain and alerts, where applicable. For details, it is referred to the QPRFs. Toxtree is based on classification trees and does not provide such information and thus no reliability is assigned. All original model results are presented in the software printout section.
Appraisal of (Q)SAR Modelling
TOPKAT predicted SPS 5290 stage 3 not to be sensitising however considerations on structural similar compounds in the training set and prediction statistics indicate no confidence in the prediction.
CAESAR predicted SPS 5290 stage 3 to be sensitising. The query compound is however out of the applicability domain of the model and the prediction not considered reliable.
The query compound was predicted to be sensitising by the IRFMN/JRC model. The query compound is however out of the applicability domain of the model and the prediction not considered reliable.

Profiling with OECD Toolbox indicates that while no protein binding alert for skin sensitisation was triggered for the compound itself,Times metabolism simulator suggest SPS 5290 stage 3 to act as a pro hapten via Schiff base formation with carbonyl compounds.There is uncertainty in the model due to many category members and neighbors used for the read across being non sensitisers. Further to this, using the same methodology it was possible to derive a predicted EC3 value for the compound, suggesting it to be a weak sensitizer, though this prediction is similarly mared by the nearest neighbors, some of which were strong and moderate sensitisers, suggesting some uncertainty.
Derek predicted SPS 5290 stage 3 to be sensitizing. Derek identified two alerts based on the structural features of the substance, namely the substance can tautomerise to contain a thiol or thiourea.The mechanism of skin sensitisation by thiols (R2 = H) is proposed to be nucleophilic attack of the thiol on disulphide bonds in the skin proteins to form a new disulphide bridge.Thiol compounds are proposed to act as prohaptens rather than reacting with skin proteins directly.Derek was also able to predict an EC3 value based on the thiol alert, predicting the compound to be a moderate sensitizer with the two nearest compounds being moderate and strong sensitisers, thus a similar uncertainty to that of the toolbox prediction presents itself.
Conclusion
With the models being used generally considered to be either of
low reliability, or possessing some degree of uncertainty, while there
is an argument for a weight of evidence, the discussed reliability of
the predictions leaves low confidence in the conclusions. The prediction
is therefore considered unreliable and further in vitro / in chemico testing
was recommended.
A further OECD 442D study (SQ46WL) was performed which
displayed positive results, lending some confidence to the predictions
and overall weight of evidence. A further OECD 442E study is ongoing for
further confirmation.
