Skin irritation / corrosion

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin corrosion: in vitro / ex vivo

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

13 june 2017 to 20 July 2017

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Justification for type of information:

The In vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test is based on the observation that skin corrosion (necrotic damage of viable skin cells) shows a high correlation with skin cell cytotoxicity, occurring rapidly after brief exposure of the skin barrier (stratum corneum) to a corrosive chemical. It is designed to predict and classify the skin corrosivity potential of a chemical by using a three-dimensional human epidermis model. The epidermis model (e.g. EpiDermTM) is derived from human keratinocytes and consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. The NHEK, which are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts using serum free medium, attain levels of differentiation at the cutting edge of in vitro skin technology. Ultrastructurally, the skin models closely parallel human skin. The In vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test consists of topical application of the test material to the tissue for 3 minutes and 1 hour, followed by immediate determination of the cytotoxic effect. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the exposure period.

Any other information on results incl. tables

This in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of CARBANINE CRIST by means of the Human Skin Model Test with EpiDerm™ tissues models.

The test item passed the MTT- and the colour interference pre-tests.

Independent duplicate tissues of EpiDermTM were exposed to the test item, the negative control (deionised water) or the positive control (8.0 N KOH) for 3 minutes and 1 hour, respectively.

Afterwards, the test and the control items were rinsed off the tissues, and a 3 hour incubation period (37 ± 1 °C, 5 ± 0.5 % CO2) with MTT solution followed. MTT solution was then rinsed from the wells and the wells were rinsed with DPBS. Inserts were transferred into new 24 well plates. The formazan salt was extracted for about 19.5 hours at room temperature.

The required acceptability criteria were met.

Exposure to the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control, both for the 3 minutes exposure period (21.4%) and for the 1 hour exposure period 4.8%) thus confirming the validity of the test system and the specific batch of tissue models.

After 3 minutes exposure to the test item CARBANINE CRIST the relative absorbance value was not reduced (103.2%). After 1 hour exposure the relative absorbance value decreased to 88.8%. Both values did not exceed the threshold for corrosivity which is defined to be 50% after the 3 minutes exposure and 15% after the 1 hour exposure. Therefore, the test item is not considered to be corrosive.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the reported experimental conditions, CARBANINE CRIST is non corrosive to skin according to EU CLP and UN GHS.
