Test system

Controls:

other: SDS (5% aq.) and PBS treated epidermis were used as positive and negative controls respectively (three units / control).

Amount / concentration applied:

10 mg test item was applied evenly to each disks of EPISKIN (three units)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

15 minutes

Observation period:

2 days

Number of animals:

3 replicates

Details on study design:

Disks of EPISKIN (three units) were treated with test item and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of test material was terminated by rinsing with PBS 1x solution. Epidermis units were then incubated at 37 °C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37°C in 5% CO2 protected from light. The precipitated formazan was then extracted using acidified isopropanol and quantified spectrophotometrically.
The test item has an intrinsic colour (orange), one additional chemical-treated tissue was used for the non-specific OD evaluation.
SDS (5% aq.) and PBS treated epidermis were used as positive and negative controls respectively (three units / control). For each treated tissue viability was expressed as a percentage relative to negative control.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

All obtained test item viability results (mean OD: 0.550) were above 50 % when compared to the viability values obtained from the negative control, therefore the test item was considered to be non-irritant to skin

Conclusions:

In this in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model with test item YELLOW LF 6881 the results indicated that the test item is Non Irritant (NI) [UN GHS: No Category].

Executive summary:

Disks of EPISKIN (three units) were treated with test item and incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of test material was terminated by rinsing with PBS 1x solution. Epidermis units were then incubated at 37 °C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO₂. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues for 3 hours with MTT solution at 37°C in 5% CO₂protected from light. The precipitated formazan was then extracted using acidified isopropanol and quantified spectrophotometrically.

The test item has an intrinsic colour (orange), one additional chemical-treated tissue was used for the non-specific OD evaluation.

SDS (5% aq.) and PBS treated epidermis were used as positive and negative controls respectively (three units / control). For each treated tissue viability was expressed as a percentage relative to negative control.

The test item is considered to be irritant to skin, if the mean relative viability after 15 minutes exposure and 42 hours post incubation is less or equal (≤) to 50% of the negative control.

 

The test item showed reduced cell viability in comparison to the negative control (mean value: 67 %). However all obtained test item viability results were above 50 % when compared to the viability values obtained from the negative control, therefore the test item was considered to be non-irritant to skin.

Positive and negative controls showed the expected cell viability values within acceptable limits.The experiment was considered to be valid.

In this in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model withtest itemYELLOW LF 6881the results indicated that the test itemis Non Irritant (NI) [UN GHS: No Category].
