PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA
-The test chemical is identified as requiring classification and labelling according to UN GHS (Category 2 or Category 1) if the mean percent tissue viability after exposure and post-treatment incubation is less than or equal (≤) to 50%.
In case the test chemical is found to be non-corrosive (e.g., based on TG 430, 431 or 435), and shows tissue viability after exposure and post-treatment incubation is less than or equal (≤) to 50%, the test chemical is considered to be irritant to skin in accordance with UN GHS Category 2.
Depending on the regulatory framework in member countries, the test chemical may be considered as non-irritant to skin in accordance with UN GHS No Category if the tissue viability after exposure and post-treatment incubation is more than (>) 50%.
According to EU classification, the irritancy potential of test substances is predicted to distinguish between H315 skin irritating (category 2) and not classified test substances (EU CLP).
In this study the irritancy potential of test substances is predicted by mean tissue viability of tissues exposed to the test substance.
The test substance is considered to be irritant to skin (H315), if the mean relative viability after 60 minutes exposure and 42 hours post incubation is less or equal to 50% of the negative control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

On the basis of the results, interpreted according to OECD 439 the test item “TRISODIUM (2S)-2,6-BIS(3-CARBOXYLATOPROPANAMIDO)HEXANOATE” must be considered NOT IRRITANT for the skin.

Executive summary:

On the test item “TRISODIUM (2S)-2,6-BIS(3-CARBOXYLATOPROPANAMIDO)HEXANOATE” an in

vitro toxicological study aimed to evaluate any potential cutaneous irritation was carried out.

The following test was performed:

-In vitro skin irritation test on Reconstructed Human Epidermis according to OECD N. 439:2015.

To perform the in vitro skin irritation test, three-dimensional Reconstructed Human Epidermis (RHE) tissues, consisting of normal human keratinocytes cultured for 17-days on an inert 0.63 cm²polycarbonate filter at the air-liquid interface, were used.

The test item was topically applied on three tissues replicates for 60 minutes. Exposure was followed by rinsing with phosphate buffer saline (DPBS) and dried, then tissues were transferred to fresh medium and incubated for 42 additional hours, then tissues were transferred to MTT for 3 hours. The aim of this assay was to assess quantitatively the effects of the tested product on cell survival through the MTT assay.

Cell viability determination is based on cellular dehydrogenase activity, measured by MTT reduction and conversion into blue formazan salt that is quantified after extraction from tissues.

\The percentage reduction in viability is used to predict the irritation potential.

On the basis of the results, interpreted according to OECD 439:2015 the test item “TRISODIUM (2S)-2,6-BIS(3-CARBOXYLATOPROPANAMIDO)HEXANOATE” must be considered NOT IRRITANT for the skin.
