Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline required
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Derek Nexus is a proprietary, rule-based expert system for the prediction of toxicity. Its knowledge base is composed of alerts, examples and reasoning rules which may each contribute to the predictions made by the system. Each alert in Derek describes a chemical substructure believed to be responsible for inducing a specific toxicological outcome (often referred to as a toxicophore). Alerts are derived by experts, using toxicological data and information regarding the biological mechanism of action. Where relevant, metabolism data may be incorporated into an alert, enabling the prediction of compounds which are not directly toxicity but are metabolised to an active species. The derivation of each alert is described in the alert comments along with supporting references and example compounds where possible. By reporting this information to the user, Derek provides highly transparent predictions. The use of structural alerts for the prediction of toxicity is both widely understood and the subject of many publications. Derek Nexus makes predictions for and against toxicity through reasoning. For the endpoint of skin sensitisation, predictions for toxicity decrease in confidence in the following order: certain> probable>plausible>equivocal. Predictions against toxicity increase in confidence in the following order: doubted

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
(-)-alpha-Pinene is predicted as moderate sensitiser to the skin (predicted LLNA EC3%: 9.6) using Derek Nexus v5.0.2.
The prediction is based on the triggered structured alert for terpenoids.
The prediction strength is Equivocal.
Executive summary:

Based on the derived prediction using Derek Nexus v5.0.2, (-)-alpha-pinene is predicted as moderate sensitiser to the skin with a predicted LLNA EC3 of 9.6% and a prediction strength as Equivocal. This substance triggered a skin sensitisation alert for terpenoids.

Therefore, (-)-alpha-pinene is classifed as skin sensitiser category 1B.
