In chemico test system

Details on the study design:
The reactivity of the test item was evaluated in chemico by monitoring peptide depletion following a 24 hour contact between the test item and synthetic cysteine and lysine peptides. A diluted solution of cysteine or lysine was incubated with the test item for 24 hours. At the end of the incubation, the concentration of residual peptides in the solution was evaluated by HPLC with Ultra-Violet detection at 220 nm.
Peptide reactivity was reported as percent depletion from the solution based on the peptide peak area of the replicate injection and the mean peptide peak area in the three relevant reference control C samples (in the appropriate solvent).

Vehicle used: 1:1 mixture DMSO:acetonitrile
Positive control: Cinnamaldehyde (CAS No. 104-55-2), batch No. MKBX8146V, supplied by Sigma Aldrich. Its molecular weight was 132.16 g/mol and the purity of the batch used was 98.9%.

other: % depletion
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
except for the reference control C, prepared with the cysteine peptide in a mixture of 1:1 mixture DMSO:acetonitrile, which was not within ± 10% of the nominal concentration.
Negative controls validity:
not applicable
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Remarks:
Due to the limited solubility of the test item, it was considered to have an inconclusive classification for peptide reactivity due to the presence of DMSO in test item formulation leading to inaccurate cysteine peptide % depletion determination.
Other effects / acceptance of results:
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
The run was considered valid if the following criteria were fully met:
- the calibration curve should have a coefficient of determination (r2) >= 0.99,
- the mean peptide concentrations of the reference control A samples should be within ± 10% of the nominal concentration,
- the cinnamaldehyde depletion control samples should meet the following acceptance criteria:
* for the cysteine peptide, the mean percent depletion value should be between 60.8 and 100% with a SD < 14.9%,
* for the lysine peptide, the mean percent depletion value should be between 40.2 and 69.0% with a SD < 11.6%,
- the CV of the mean peptide peak area of the nine reference control B and C samples in acetonitrile must be < 15.0%.

The test item’s results were considered valid if the following criteria were fully met:
- the mean peptide concentrations of the reference control C samples prepared in the appropriate solvent should be within ± 10% of the nominal concentration,
- the maximum SD for the test item replicates should be < 14.9% for the percent cysteine depletion value and < 11.6% for the percent lysine depletion value.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Due to the limited solubility of the test item, under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item was considered to have an inconclusive classification for peptide reactivity due to the presence of DMSO in test item formulation leading to inaccurate cysteine peptide % depletion determination.
Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate the reactivity of the test item to synthetic cysteine and lysine peptides as part of a tiered strategy for skin sensitization assessment.

 

Methods

The reactivity of the test item was evaluatedin chemico by monitoring peptide depletion following a 24‑hour contact between the test item and synthetic cysteine and lysine peptides. A diluted solution of cysteine or lysine was incubated with the test item for 24 hours. At the end of the incubation, the concentration of residual peptides in the solution was evaluated by HPLCwith Ultra-Violet detection at 220 nm.

Peptide reactivity was reported as percent depletion from the solution based on the peptide peak area of the replicate injection and the mean peptide peak area in the three relevant reference control C samples (in the appropriate solvent).

 

Results

 

The test item was dissolved at 100 mM in a1:1 mixture DMSO:acetonitrile.

 

The acceptance criteria for the calibration curve samples, the three reference controls A, B and C (prepared in acetonitrile) as well as positive controls satisfied the requirements of the assay.

However, the reference control C which was prepared with the cysteine peptide in a mixture of 1:1 mixture DMSO:acetonitrile was not within±10% of the nominal concentration and in fact the mean of the cysteine peptide concentration was lower, at 58.2% of the nominal concentration (i.e.0.291 mM instead of 0.500 ± 10% mM). Thus, the acceptance criteria were not fully met with this peptide. It was suggested that the solvent used (1:1 mixture DMSO:acetonitrile) has oxidant properties and therefore could have induced dimerisation of the cysteine peptide. Since the test item was only found soluble in this vehicle/solvent, it was agreed with the Sponsor to consider the solubility of the test item as a limit of this study and therefore that no conclusion could be reported.

 

Therefore, since the mean percent cysteine depletion could not be calculated due to the respective reference control C values with cysteine peptide (i.e. prepared in 1:1 mixture DMSO:acetonitrile which are out of the acceptance criteria) andsince the peptide reactivity could not be evaluated only based on lysine prediction model,no conclusion or classification can be done on the test item peptide reactivity.

Conclusion

Due to the limited solubility of the test item, under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item was considered to have aninconclusive classification for peptide reactivitydue to the presence of DMSO in test item formulation leading to inaccurate cysteine peptide % depletion determination.
