Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
E-screen assay: The assay uses breast-tumor derived MCF-7 cells to compare the ability of chemicals to mimic growth stimulation by estradiol using Sulforhodamin B assay (SRB).
TESTSKIN, LSE system: Co-culture of human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes, cytotoxicity was assessed with WST (tetrazolium salt) assay (LSE possesses biosynthetic properties that approximate their in vivo counterparts).
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of method:
in vitro
Endpoint addressed:
other: endocrine disruption and cytotoxicity on fibroblasts/keratinocytes

Results and discussion

Details on results:
Although the positive control, bisphenol A, stimulated MCF-7 cell growth, the test substance did not significantly enhance the growth compared to the negative control.
In the LSE-system (TESTSKIN) cell viability was not affected by the 6-hour treatment with the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The present study showed that DBS as a main plasticiser did not show estrogenic activity and did only exert a weak cytotoxicity after 24 hours and is therefore not likely to cause any acute oral toxicity or irritate the skin.
