Buffers:
100 mM Phosphate buffer (mix out of solution A + B)
Solution A: 1.38 g sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (monobasic) are dissolved in 100 mL demineralized water.
Solution B: 6.70 g disodium hydrogen phosphate heptahydrate (dibasic) are dissolved in 250 mL demineralized water.
Final 100 mM phosphate buffer is mixed out of 18 mL of solution A and 82 mL of solution B. The pH is adjusted to 7.503 with solution B.
100 mM Ammonium acetate buffer (batch no. 20181204)us) are dissolved in 200 mL demineralised water, pH is adjusted to 10.199 with 25 % ammonium hydroxide solution.

Positive control:
Cinnamaldehyde (CAS 104-55-2, food grade ≥95 %),100 mM solution in acetonitrile for the cysteine peptide
2,3-Butanedione (CAS 431-03-8, >97 %), 100 mM solution in ace-tonitrile for the lysine peptide
As cinnamaldehyde mixed with the lysine peptide turned turbid in all experiments performed during the implementation phase, it was considered unsuitable as positive control. Instead, the proficiency chemical 2,3-Butanedione is used as positive control showing mid-range depletion for the lysine peptide.

Solvent controls
For both peptides, four sets of solvent controls using acetonitrile instead of test item stock solution are prepared in triplicate (Sets A, B1, B2 and C, total 12 samples per peptide). Set A is analysed together with the peptide calibration standards, sets B1 and B2 are analysed at the start and end of the analysis sequence and are used as stability control for the peptide over the total analysis time. Set C is incubated and analysed together with the samples and is used for calculation of the peptide depletion.

Co-elution control
Sample prepared from the respective peptide buffer and the test item, but without peptide.

Peptide stock solutions
The peptide stock solutions are freshly prepared for each assay.
0.667 mM Cys-Peptide solution was prepared by dissolving 22.5 mg of the peptide in 45 mL phosphate buffer, pH 7.5.
0.667 mM Lys-Peptide solution was prepared by dissolving 23.3 mg of the peptide in 45 mL ammonium acetate buffer, pH 10.2.

Test item stock solution:
The test item stock solution is freshly prepared for each assay.
100 mM test item solution was prepared by dissolving 154.4 mg test item in 3 mL of the solvent acetonitrile for the Cys-peptide and 154.5 mg test item for the Lys-peptide, respectively. The solution was vortexed until the test item was dissolved.

Peptide calibration standards:
From each peptide stock solution the following calibration standards was prepared in the appropriate dilution buffer: 0.534 / 0.267 / 0.134 / 0.067 / 0.033 / 0.017 mM peptide. Blank dilution buffer was measured. Calibration samples were analysed before the samples containing the test item.

Test item samples:
Samples were prepared in triplicate for each peptide. The Cys-peptide samples were prepared in 1:10 molar ratio (0.5 mM peptide: 5 mM test item solution), the Lys-peptide sam-ples in 1:50 molar ratio (0.5 mM peptide and 25 mM test item solution) using the stock solutions described. A final volume of 1 mL per sample was prepared for each sample.

Incubation:
The positive control, solvent control and test item samples are incubated in closed amber glass HPLC vials in an incubation chamber at 25.0 ± 2.5 °C for 24 ± 2 h. Samples appearing turbid or where precipitation is visible by the unaided eye are centrifuged (benchtop centrifuge, 10 min at 4500 rpm) and only the clear supernatant is used for measurement.

Acceptance criteria
The mean peptide depletion value for the positive control cinnamaldehyde should be 60.8 % - 100.0 % with a maximum standard deviation (SD) of < 14.9 % for the Cys-peptide.
The mean peptide depletion value for the positive control 2,3- Butane-dione should be 10.0 % - 45.0 % with a maximum standard deviation < 11.6 % for the Lys-peptide.
The standard deviation for the test item replicates should be < 14.9 % for the percent cysteine depletion and < 11.6 % for the percent lysine depletion.

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY:
The ten proficiency chemicals listed in the guideline were tested using the analysis method described. All ten proficiency chemicals showed the expected DPRA prediction and eight out of the ten chemicals showed depletion values consistent with the classification reported in the OECD guideline.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: Yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: Yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: Yes

Deviations from the Guideline
The mean percent area ratio 220 nm/258 nm of the positive control 2,3 Butanedione in experiment 1 is 120 %. This is marginal out of the given range 90-110 % and shows a peak impurity and co-elution. This was considered uncritical, because the value of peptide-depletion was reported as “co-elution – percent depletion estimated”, it is not an acceptance criterium for the study and the results of the Lys-peptide were not considered for the evaluation with the Cysteine 1:10 prediction model.

** Note: The area ratio 220 nm/258 nm was marginal out of range. The value is reported as “co-elution – percent depletion estimated”
*** Note: Due to co-elution the results of the Lys-peptide were not considered when using the Cysteine 1:10 prediction model for the evaluation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: peptide depletion

Conclusions:

The DPRA prediction is “positive” with moderate reactivity according to the Cysteine 1:10 model. It can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item possesses a moderate skin sensitisation potential

Executive summary:

A study according OECD TG 442C was performed in order to evaluate the reactivity of the test item towards cysteine (Cys-) and lysine (Lys-) containing peptides. A test item solution in acetonitrile and the respective peptide was incubated 23 h at 25 °C for the Cys peptide and 22.5 h for the Lys-peptide, respectively. The peptide concentration after the incubation was measured using HPLC-UV. Three replicates were prepared using 1:10 and 1:50 molar ratio of the test item with the Cys- and Lys-peptide, respectively. Triplicate samples of the solvent without test item were incubated and measured simultaneously. One valid experiment was performed.

For the Lys-peptide co-elution occurred with the test item. Therefore, the evaluation was carried out with the Cysteine 1:10 prediction model.

The mean peptide depletion in the Cys-peptide assay was 78.11 %. All acceptance criteria were fulfilled; therefore, the test was considered valid. The DPRA prediction for the test item was positive with reactivity class moderate according to the Cysteine 1:10 prediction model.
