In chemico test system

Details on the study design:

TEST SYSTEM
- Supplier: AnaSpec
- Cysteine-containing peptide:
Alternative name: Ac-RFAACAA-OH
Batch number: 1556171

Alternative name: Ac-RFAAKAA-OH
Batch number: 1556172

TEST METHOD
The DPRA is an in chemico test system proposed to address the molecular initiating event of the skin sensitisation adverse outcome pathway, namely protein reactivity, by substance towards model synthetic peptides containing either lysine or cysteine. The DPRA quantifies the free concentration of cysteine- or lysine-containing peptide following incubation with the test substance. Relative peptide concentration is measured by HPLC with gradient elution and UV detection at 220 nm. Cysteine- and lysine peptide percent depletion values are then calculated and used in the prediction model which allows assigning the test substance to one of four reactivity classes used to support the discrimination between sensitisers and non-sensitisers.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: DPRA prediction: negative (no or minimal reactivity)

Remarks:

according to OECD TG 442C

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay the test substance showed no or minimal peptide reactivity.

Executive summary:

Solutions of test item were successfully analysed by the validated DPRA analytical method (Envigo analytical method FIA/M101/15) in both Cysteine and Lysine containing synthetic peptides. The overall result places the test item in the reactivity class of minimal and therefore it is predicted to be a non skin sensitizer.
