Details on the study design:
Preparation of Positive Control and Cysteine Peptide Depletion Samples and Co-elution Controls

Acetonitrile solutions of Eastman IBIB and solutions of the positive control were diluted with the Cysteine peptide to prepare solutions containing 0.5 mM Cysteine and 5 mM of either Eastman IBIB or the positive control. For the co-elution control, buffer solution was used in place of the Cysteine stock solution.

Preparation of Positive Control and Lysine Peptide Depletion Samples and Co-elution Controls
Acetonitrile solutions of Eastman IBIB and solutions of the positive control were diluted with the Lysine peptide to prepare solutions containing 0.5 mM Lysine and 25 mM of either Eastman IBIB or the positive control. For the co-elution control, buffer solution was used in place of the Lysine stock solution.

Incubation
The appearance of the Eastman IBIB and positive control samples in the HPLC vials was documented after preparation and then the vials placed into the autosampler of the HPLC set at 25°C for a minimum of 22 hours incubation prior to initiation of the analysis run. Prior to initiation of the run the appearance of the samples in the vials was assessed and documented again.

Analysis
The concentration of both the Cysteine and Lysine peptides in the presence of Eastman IBIB and the associated positive controls was quantified by HPLC using UV detection as detailed in the chromatographic section.

Calculations
The peak area response for the peptide in each calibration chromatogram was measured

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Not classified
Conclusions:
The overall mean result of 0.968% depletion places Eastman Isobutyl isobutyrate in the reactivity class of “no to minimal” and hence it is predicted by DPRA to be a non skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

In chemico Skin Sensitisation: Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA), following OECD TG 442C was conducted to assess the reactivity and sensitizing potential of Eastman isobutyl isobutyrate. Solutions of IBIB were successfully analysed by the validated DPRA analytical method in both Cysteine and Lysine containing synthetic peptides. The overall result of 0.968% depletion places Eastman IBIB in the reactivity class of “no to minimal” and therefore it is predicted by DPRA to be a non-skin sensitizer.
