Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In this study under the given conditions the test item showed minimal reactivity towards both peptides. However, due to the observed precipitation the prediction model does not apply and a prediction cannot be made.
The data generated with this test should be considered in the context of integrated approached such as IATA, combining the result with other complementary information, e.g. derived from in vitro assays addressing other key events of the skin sensitisation AOP.
Executive summary:

In the present study the test item was dissolved in isopropanol, based on the results of the pre-experiments. Based on a molecular weight of 366 g/mol a 100 mM stock solution was prepared. The test item solutions were tested by incubating the samples with the peptides containing either cysteine or lysine for 24 ± 2 h at 25 ± 2.5 °C. Subsequently samples were analysed by HPLC.

For the 100 mM stock solution of the test item precipitation was observed when diluted with the cysteine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including test item co-elution control) and for the positive control samples (including positive control co-elution control). Samples were not centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis, but test item samples were pipetted into new vials since the precipitates were observed on the surface.

For the 100 mM solution of the test item precipitation was observed when diluted with the lysine peptide solution. After the 24 h ± 2 h incubation period but prior to the HPLC analysis samples were inspected for precipitation, turbidity or phase separation. Precipitation was observed for the samples of the test item (including co-elution control). Phase separation was observed for the samples of the positive control (including the positive control co-elution control). Samples of the test item were centrifuged prior to the HPLC analysis.

Since the acceptance criteria for the depletion range of the positive control were fulfilled, the observed phase separation was regarded as insignificant.

No co-elution of test item with the peptide peaks was observed. Sensitising potential of the test item was predicted from the mean peptide depletion of both analysed peptides (cysteine and lysine) by comparing the peptide concentration of the test item treated samples to the corresponding reference control C (RC C isopropanol).

The 100 mM stock solution of the test item showed minimal reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was ≤ 6.38% (5.71%).

Precipitation in both peptides was observed. Since it cannot be determined if the precipitate resulted from the test item or the peptides, the given peak areas and corresponding peptide values can only be considered as an estimation of the peptide depletion.

According to the evaluation criteria in the guideline, if a precipitation or phase separation is observed after the incubation period, peptide depletion may be underestimated and a conclusion on the lack of reactivity cannot be drawn with sufficient confidence in case of a negative result. Due to the observed precipitation in both experiments no prediction can be made.

The 100 mM stock solution of the positive control (cinnamic aldehyde) showed high reactivity towards the synthetic peptides. The mean depletion of both peptides was 65.46%.
