Details on study design:

This in-vitro study was performed in order to evaluate the potential of SABOSTAT A 300 to evoke skin irritation in a human-skin-model.
The test consists of a topical exposure of the neat test item to a human reconstructed epi-dermis model followed by a cell viability test. Cell viability is measured by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT (= 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazoliumbromide), pre-sent in cell mitochondria, into a blue formazan salt that is quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The percentage reduction of cell viability in comparison of untreat-ed negative controls is used to predict skin irritation potential.

As blank, the optical density of isopropanol was measured in eight wells of the 96-well-plate. The measured values and their mean are given in the following table:

   Absorbance values blank isopropanol (OD at 570 nm)

Replicate	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	Mean
Absorbance	0.038	0.037	0.037	0.038	0.036	0.037	0.037	0.037	0.037

 

The absorbance values of negative control, test item and positive control are given in the following table:

    Absorbance Values negative control, test item and positive control (OD at 570 nm)

Designation	Measurement	Negative Control	SABOSTAT A 300	Positive Control
Tissue 1	1	1.828	2.320	0.088

From the measured absorbances, the mean of each tissue was calculated, subtracting the mean absorbance of isopropanol as given in table above. Mean and relative standard deviation (comparison of the 3 tissues) were also calculated.

Relative standard deviation of the 3 tissues	2.2%	7.3%	6.2%

 

Comparison of Formazan Production

For the test item and the positive control, the following percentage values of formazan production were calculated in comparison to the negative control:

    % Formazan Production

Designation	SABOSTAT A 300	Positive Control
% Formazan production (tissue 1)	126.2%	2.8%
% Formazan production (tissue 2)	109.7%	2.6%
% Formazan production (tissue 3)	122.9%	2.9%

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The test item is considered as not skin irritant.
After the treatment, the relative absorbance values were increased to 119.6%. This value is well above the threshold for skin irritation (50%).
The optical density of the negative control (mean OD = 1.8) was well within the required acceptability criterion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8. The positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control to 2.8 % (required:  20%) for thus ensuring the validity of the test system. Variation within replicates was within the accepted range for negative control, positive control and test item.
For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.

Executive summary:

3 tissues of the human skin model EpiDerm^TMwere treated with the substance for 60 min. On average, 25 mg of the solid test item (wetted with 25 µL DPBS-buffer) were applied to each tissue and spread to match the tissue size (0.63 cm²; as indicated by supplier). DPBS-buffer was used as negative control, 5 % SDS solution was used as positive control. After treatment with the negative control, the absorbance values were within the required acceptability criterion of 0.8 ≤ mean OD ≤ 2.8, OD was 1.8. The positive control showed clear irritating effects. Relative absorbance was reduced to 2.8 %. Variation within tissues was acceptable (< 18%).   After the treatment with the test item, the relative absorbance values were increased to 119.6%. This value is well above the threshold for irritation potential (50%).   Therefore,the substance is considered as not skin irritant in the Human Skin Model Test.
