This study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitisation potential of 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid, using synthetic heptapeptides. The method followed was as per OECD Test Guideline No. 442C.
3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid was found to be soluble in isopropanol at 100 mM. Therefore, isopropanol was selected as the vehicle for this study.
Synthetic heptapeptides containing either Lysine (Ac-RFAAKAA-COOH) or Cysteine (Ac-RFAACAACOOH), were used as the test system in this assay. Cysteine and Lysine containing peptides were incubated with a positive control and the test item for 24 ± 2 hours at 22.5-30 ºC (in the dark), separately. Relative peptide concentration was measured, using the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with gradient elution and UV detection at 220 nm. Cysteine and Lysine peptide percent depletion values were calculated and used in a prediction model which allows assigning the test item to one of four reactivity classes used to support the discrimination between sensitisers and non-sensitisers (OECD, 2019).
HPLC system suitability was determined by the standard calibration curve and the value of r2 obtained was 0.99997 for cysteine and 0.99998 for lysine peptides, against the set standard of r2 > 0.99, as per the guideline.

- Executive summary:
This study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitisation potential of 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid by assessing keratinocyte activation, using a Keratinocyte-Based ARE-Nrf2 Luciferase Reporter Gene method, as recommended by the OECD Test guideline 442D.
3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid was found to be soluble at 200 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Therefore, DMSO was selected as a vehicle. The test item was tested in two independent experiments. KeratinosensTM (HaCaT) cells were exposed to 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid at the test concentration from 0.98 µM to 2000 µM, to the positive control (trans-cinnamaldehyde) at concentrations of 4 to 64 µM or to the negative control (DMSO). Cells were incubated for 48 ± 2 hours in 5 ± 1% CO2 at 37 ± 1 °C. After incubation, cells were analysed for luciferase activity. Cell viability of the concurrently treated cells was also evaluated using the MTT test with a separate set of plates. The value of Imax and EC1.5 was calculated based on luciferase activity, i.e., luminescence measured (reading of three plates) while the value of IC50 and IC30 was calculated based on the results of cytotoxicity (OD values, reading of one plate).

* = As the viability at the highest concentration was less than 70%, the induction ≥1.5 fold was not considered as positive response.
The maximal average fold induction of luciferase activity (Imax), following the treatment with 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid, was 1.89 at a concentration of 2000 µM in experiment 8, which is greater than the 1.5-fold increase required for a positive result. However, the cellular viability was 46.31% at the same concentration of 2000 µM in experiment 8. Response was less than 1.5 fold where the cell viability was above 70% at tested concentrations below 1000 µM. Therefore, the induction of luciferase activity above 1.5 fold was not considered as positive response.
3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid met all the evaluation criteria to be predicted as a non-sensitiser in the KeratinoSens assay. Negative and positive controls met the acceptance criteria for the controls and were correctly identified as non-sensitiser and sensitiser, respectively. All criteria for a valid study were met, as described in the study plan.
From the results of this KeratinoSens assay, under the specified experimental conditions, 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid is predicted to be a non-sensitiser to skin.

- Executive summary:
This study was conducted to evaluate the skin sensitization potential of
3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid based on the human cell line activation test (h-CLAT) method, as recommended by the OECD 442E.
3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid was found to be soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at the final concentration of 500 mg/mL. Hence, DMSO was selected as the vehicle for this study.
Two Dose Range Finding (DRF) assays were performed to determine CV75 value of the test item. For DRF assays, THP-1 cells were exposed to the test item at ten concentrations from 1.95 µg/mL to 1000 µg/mL and incubated for 24 ± 0.5 h at 37 ± 1 °C under 5 ± 1% CO2. After incubation, cells were washed, stained with propidium iodide, and analysed on flow cytometer, to determine cell viability (for the calculation of CV75 value). On the basis of CV75 value of the test item, i.e., >1000 µg/mL, concentrations were selected for CD86/CD54 expression measurement.
CD86/CD54 expression measurement (expression study), was performed to determine the expression of CD86 and CD54 cell surface markers at the sub-cytotoxic concentrations of the test item. For the assay, THP-1 cells were exposed to the test item at eight concentrations between 279 µg/mL and 1000 µg/mL and incubated for 24 h at 37 ± 1 °C under 5 ± 1% CO2. After incubation, cells were washed, blocked, stained with specific antibodies and propidium iodide, and analysed on the flow cytometer. Based on results of Expression study, RFI values of the test item were calculated and used in a prediction model to support the discrimination between the sensitiser and non-sensitiser.
The test item produced a positive response for CD54 marker (i.e., RFI CD54 ≥200%, with cell viability ≥50%) in 3/8 and 6/8 tested concentrations in experiments-4 and 5, respectively. The cell viability of the test item was found to be >50% at all tested concentrations in both experiments, which met the assay acceptance criteria. Based on results of experiments-4 and 5, the predictions obtained for the test item were P2 and P2, respectively. Based on the calculated RFI CD54 values, the higher EC200 value of the test item was 296 µg/mL.

The RFI values of the positive control, i.e., 2, 4-Dinitrochlorobenzene were greater than 150% for CD86 marker, and greater than 200% for CD54 marker in both experiments-4 and 5, and met the assay acceptance criteria. (RFI CD86 ≥150%, RFI CD54 ≥200%). The cell viability of the positive control was >50% in both experiments. All observed values of the negative (solvent) control were within the acceptable range of the test guideline. All criteria for a valid study were met, as described in the study plan.
From the results of this h-CLAT assay, under the specified experimental conditions, 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid was concluded as “positive” in an in vitro skin sensitization assay and may be predicted to be a skin sensitizer.

Negative Control
The coefficient of variation observed for the negative control, during experiment 7 and 8 for 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid was 11.46% and 12.14%, respectively, which was below 20%. Since variation amongst the replicates was less than 20%, results of this run were considered as valid.
In experiment 7, variability in the negative control was 49.43, 41.95, and 31.94 % for six wells of each plate, but this was considered to be due to one well. Since the data from one well was ˃25% the average of the other five wells, it was considered as an outlier. After removal of the outlier, the variation in the negative control was 17.11, 9.81, and 6.63%, which was within the acceptable range.
Luciferase Activity
The maximal average fold induction of luciferase activity (Imax), following the treatment with 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid, was 1.89 at a concentration of 2000 µM in experiment 8, which is greater than the 1.5-fold increase required for a positive result. However, the cellular viability was 46.31% at the same concentration of 2000 µM in experiment 8. Therefore, the induction of luciferase activity above 1.5 fold was not considered as positive response.

Cytotoxicity Assessment
Cytotoxicity was observed in the higher concentrations in this study. The cellular viability was 64.33% at a concentration of 2000 µM in experiment 7; 68.90% and 46.32% at a concentration of 1000 and 2000 µM, respectively, in experiment 8, with induction of luciferase activity above 1.5 fold.
Interpretation
For 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid, eight experiments were conducted and out of these, two valid experiments (experiment 07 and 08) were considered for the final evaluation. The reason for conducting repeat experiments was due to the failure of the negative control and positive control to meet the acceptance criteria in experiment 01 to 06. Results of valid experiments are presented in this report.

Sensitiser |
Results of this KeratinoSensTM assay indicate that 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid met all the evaluation criteria to predict that it is a non-sensitiser in this test. The negative and positive controls met the acceptance criteria and were correctly identified as the non-sensitiser and sensitiser, respectively. This showed the suitability of the test system and procedures used.
Dose
Two independent experiments of the Dose Range Finding (DRF) assay were performed (with concentrations ranging from 1.95 µg/mL to 1000 µg/mL) to determine CV75 value of the test item (the concentration showing 75% of THP-1 cell survival, i.e., 25% cytotoxicity).
In DRF experiment 1, any significant cell death (i.e., <75% viability) was not observed at any concentration up to 1000 µg/mL.
On the basis of results of both DRF experiments, CV75 of 3-Bromo-1-(3-Chloro-2-Pyridinyl)-1H-Pyrazole-5-Carboxylic acid was found to be >1000 µg/mL.
CD86/CD54 Expression Measurement (Expression Study)
Five independent experiments were performed to determine the upregulation of CD86/CD54 markers at sub-cytotoxic concentrations of the test item (with concentrations ranging from 279 µg/mL to 1000 µg/mL). The results of two valid experiments (i.e, experiments-4 and 5), which met the acceptance criteria are presented here.
