Remarks:

In conclusion, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should not be classified.

Conclusions:

Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate was checked for color interference in aqueous conditions and possible direct MTT reduction by adding the test item to MTT medium. Because no color changes were observed it was concluded that the test item did not interact with the MTT endpoint. 

Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 98%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% the test item is considered to be non-irritant.

The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure of 16%. The absolute mean OD570of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 8%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

The mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% the test item is considered to be non-irritant.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate for its ability to induce skin irritation on a human three-dimensional epidermal model (EPISKIN Small model (EPISKIN-SMTM)). The possible skin irritation potential of the test item was tested through topical application for 15 minutes.

 

The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD and EC guidelines. Batch 11_13_17_1 of the test item was a clear to transparent yellow liquid. The test item was applied undiluted (25 µl), directly on top of the skin tissue for 15 ± 0.5 minutes. After a 42-hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed. Cytotoxicity is expressed as the reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity measured by formazan production from MTT at the end of the treatment.

 

Skin irritation is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 98%. Since the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was above 50% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment the test item is considered to be non-irritant.

 

The positive control had a mean cell viability of 16% after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD570 (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was ≤ 8%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

 

In conclusion, Bis-Aminopropyl Diglycol Dimaleate is non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test under the experimental conditions described in this report and should not be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations.
