- human
- Cell type:
- non-transformed keratinocytes
- Justification for test system used:
- In the interest of sound science and animal welfare, a sequential testing strategy is recommended to minimize the need of in vivo testing. One of the validated in vitro skin irritation tests is the EPISKIN test, which is recommended in international guidelines (e.g. OECD and EC).
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on test system:
- Test system: EPISKIN Small ModelTM (EPISKIN-SMTM, 0.38 cm2, Batch no.: 18-EKIN-012
This model is a three-dimensional human epidermis model, which consists of adult humanderived epidermal keratinocytes which have been seeded on a dermal substitute consisting of a collagen type I matrix coated with type IV collagen. The keratinocytes were cultured for 13 days, which results in a highly differentiated and stratified epidermis model comprising the main basal, supra basal, spinous and granular layers and a functional stratum corneum.

Experimental design:
- Test for the Interference of the Test Item with the MTT endpoint:
A test item may interfere with the MTT endpoint if it is colored and/or it is able to directly reduce MTT. The cell viability measurement is affected only if the test item is present on the tissues when the MTT viability test is performed.
- Test for Color Interference by the Test Item:
GR-87-7596 was checked for possible color interference before the study was started. Some non-colored test items may change into colored items in aqueous conditions and thus stain the skin tissues during the exposure. To assess the color interference, 10 μL of GR-87-7596 was added to 90 μL Milli-Q water. The mixture was mixed for approximately 15 minutes. A negative control, 10 μL Milli-Q water was tested concurrently. At the end of the shaking period a color check was performed.
- Test for Reduction of MTT by the test item:
GR-87-7596 was checked for possible direct MTT reduction before the study was started. To assess the ability of the test item to reduce MTT, 25 μL of the test item was added to 2 mL MTT solution (0.3 mg/mL in PBS). The mixture was incubated for 3 hours at 37°C. A negative control, 25 μL sterile Milli-Q water was tested concurrently. At the end of the incubation period a color check was performed.
- Test system set up:
On the day of receipt the tissues were transferred to 12-well plates and pre-incubated with pre-warmed Maintenance Medium for 21 hours at 37°C. Maintenance medium and Assay medium were supplied by Skinethic Laboratories, Lyon, France.
- MTT medium:
MTT concentrate (Sigma Aldrich, Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands; 3 mg/mL in PBS) diluted (10x) in Assay medium (final concentration 0.3 mg/mL).
- Environmental conditions:
All incubations, with the exception of the test item incubation of 15 minutes at room temperature, were carried out in a controlled environment, in which optimal conditions were a humid atmosphere of 80 - 100% (actual range 58 - 84%), containing 5.0 ± 0.5% CO2 in air in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 36.8 – 37.4°C). Temperature and humidity were continuously monitored throughout the experiment. The CO2 percentage was monitored once on each working day. Temporary deviations from the temperature, humidity and CO2 percentage may occur due to opening and closing of the incubator door. Based on laboratory historical data these deviations are considered not to affect the study integrity.
- Application/Treatment of the Test Item:
The test was performed on a total of 3 tissues per test item together with negative and positive controls. Twenty five μL of the undiluted test item was added into 12-well plates on top of the skin tissues. Three tissues were treated with 25 μL PBS (negative control) and 3 tissues with 25 μL 5% SDS (positive control) respectively. The positive control was re-spread after 7 minutes contact time.
After the exposure period of 15 ± 0.5 minutes at room temperature, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline to remove residual test item. After rinsing, the cell culture inserts were each dried carefully and moved to a new well on 2 mL pre-warmed maintenance medium until all tissues were dosed and rinsed. Subsequently the skin tissues were incubated for 42 hours at 37°C.
- Cell Viability Measurement:
After incubation, cell culture inserts were dried carefully to remove excess medium and were transferred into a 12-wells plate prefilled with 2 mL MTT-solution (0.3 mg/mL in PBS). The tissues were incubated for 3 h at 37°C. After incubation the tissues were placed on blotting paper to dry the tissues. Total biopsy was made by using a biopsy punch. Epidermis was separated from the collagen matrix and both parts were placed in pre-labeled microtubes and extracted with 500 μL isopropanol (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Tubes were stored refrigerated and protected from light for 68 hours. The amount of extracted formazan was determined spectrophotometrically at 570 nm in duplicate with the TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate Reader.
- Calculation of Cell Viability:
Optical Density readings were transferred into Microsoft Excel to allow further calculations to be performed.
The corrected OD (ODc) for each sample or control was calculated by subtracting the value of the blank mean (ODbl) (well with solvent) from each reading (ODraw).
ODc = ODraw – ODbl
The OD value representing 100% cell viability is the average OD of the negative controls (ODlt_u+MTT).
The %Viability for each sample and positive control is calculated as follows:
%Viability = (ODc/mean ODlt_u+MTT) * 100 - Control samples:
- yes, concurrent negative control
- yes, concurrent positive control
- Amount/concentration applied:
- - 25 µL of undiluted test item
- 25 µL PBS for negative control
- 25 µL 5% SDS for positive control - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 15 ± 0.5 minutes at room temperature
- Duration of post-treatment incubation (if applicable):
- 42 hours at 37°C
- Number of replicates:
- Triplicate tissues for test item, negative and positive controls

- Run / experiment:
- 15 +/- 0.5 minutes exposure period and 42 hour post incubation period
- Value:
- 101
- Vehicle controls validity:
- not applicable
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of irritation
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- GR-87-7596 was checked for color interference in aqueous conditions and possible direct MTT reduction by adding the test item to MTT medium. Because no color changes were observed it was concluded that GR-87-7596 did not interact with the MTT endpoint.
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with GR-87-7596 compared to the negative control tissues was 101%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for GR-87-7596 was above 50% GR-87-7596 is considered to be non-irritant.
The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure of 13%. The absolute mean OD570 of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 11%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, GR-87-7596 is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should not be classified.
- Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to evaluate GR-87-7596 for its ability to induce skin irritation on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EPISKIN Small model (EPISKIN-SMTM)).
The possible skin irritation potential of GR-87-7596 was tested through topical application for 15 minutes.
The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD and EC guidelines.
Batch 4 of GR-87-7596 was a yellow liquid. GR-87-7596 was applied undiluted (25 μL) directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment.
Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with GR-87-7596 compared to the negative control tissues was 101%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for GR-87-7596 was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment GR-87-7596 is considered to be non-irritant.
The positive control had a mean cell viability of 13% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 11%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.
In conclusion, GR-87-7596 is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should not be classified.
