In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The mean relative tissue viability after treatment with the test item was significantly decreased after 3 minutes (23.01 %), 1 hour (12.66 %) and 4 hours (12.49 %) treatment. Therefore, the test item is considered to possess a corrosive potential.

Study Design

This in vitro study was performed to assess the corrosive potential of the test material by means of the Human Skin Model Test. The test consisted of a topical exposure of the test item to a human reconstructed model followed by a cell viability test. Cell viability was measured by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT into a blue formazan salt, that was quantitatively measured after extraction from tissues. The percent reduction of cell viability in comparison to untreated negative controls was used to predict skin corrosion.

Triplicates of the human skin model Episkin® were treated either with the negative or the positive control for 4 hours. 25 µL of the negative control (deionised water) or 25 µL of the positive control (glacial acetic acid) were applied to three tissues, respectively. For the test item, one tissue per time point (3 minutes, 1 hour or 4 hours) was used. 25 mg of the solid test item were applied to each tissue, spread to match the tissue size.

This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 431.

Results

Treatment with the positive control induced a sufficient decrease in the relative absorbance as compared to the negative control for the 4 hours treatment interval thus ensuring the validity of the test system.

After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values reached the required acceptability criterion of an optical density (OD) between 0.115 and 0.4 for the 4 hours treatment interval thus showing the quality of the tissues.

The mean relative tissue viability after treatment with the test item was significantly decreased after 3 minutes (23.01 %), 1 hour (12.66 %) and 4 hours (12.49 %) treatment. Therefore, the test item is considered to possess a corrosive potential.

Conclusion

Under the experimental conditions reported, the test item corrosive to skin.
