Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vitro
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 442D (In Vitro Skin Sensitisation: ARE-Nrf2 Luciferase Test Method)
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of study:
activation of keratinocytes
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Oil-rich hop extract, batch no. BI/YYF/1701
Key result
Parameter:
other: Prediction of sensitisation potential
Negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks on result:
positive indication of skin sensitisation
Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Together with endpoints 002 and 003, hop extract is classified as a sensitiser to human skin. The study performed on hop extract is relevant for tetrahydroisoalpha acids, since these are derived from hop extract.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The study performed on hop extract is relevant for beta acids, since hop extract may contain up to ca. 64% beta acids. Three in vitro tests, OECD 442D for and oil-rich hop extract, and OECD 442D and OECD 442C for a low-oil hop extract, all indicate skin sensitisation potential. Therefore hop extract should be classified as a skin sensitiser.
