- Amount / concentration applied:
- In order to assess the potential non-specific reduction of the test article, 40 μL of test article was added to 0.3 mL of 1.0 mg/mL MTT.
A volume of 40 μL of the undiluted test article was added into the MILLICELL insert on top of the Epi-200 tissues.
Further tissues were concurrently treated with 40 μL purified water (negative control) and with 40 μL 8N potassium hydroxide (positive control). - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 3 minutes and 1 hour.
- Observation period:
- Not applicable.
- Number of animals:
- Not applicable.
- Details on study design:
- In order to assess the potential non-specific reduction of the test article, 40 μL of test article was added to 0.3 mL of 1.0 mg/mL MTT and the colour change was assessed after three hours.
An increase in optical density was noted over the control (untreated MTT solution) therefore additional controls were included to enable assessment of the potential impact of the non-specific reduction of MTT by residual test article following the wash-off procedure.
To evaluate whether residual test article was binding to the tissue, a functional check (using freeze-killed control tissue) was performed. Freeze-killed tissues were prepared by placing untreated EpiDerm constructs in the -20°C freezer overnight. The freeze-killed tissues were allowed to thaw once at room temperature and placed back in the freezer overnight.
The EpiDermTM skin model is a three-dimensional human skin model, comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. On the day of receipt EpiDermTM tissues were placed in a refrigerator. The next day, at least one hour before starting the assay, the tissues were transferred to 6-well plates with the assay medium, which was replaced immediately before the test was started. The test was performed on a total of four tissues per test article, negative and positive control, out of which two were used for a 3 minute application and two tissues were used for a 1 hour application. A volume of 40 μL of the undiluted test article was added into the MILLICELL insert on top of the Epi-200 tissues.
Further tissues were concurrently treated with 40 μL purified water (negative control) and with 40 μL 8N potassium hydroxide (positive control). After the 3-minute or 1-hour contact periods, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to remove residual material. The rinsed tissues were kept in 24-well plates (holding plates) until all tissues were dosed and rinsed.
Once all tissues had been rinsed, they were transferred to wells containing 300 μL of 1 mg/mL MTT-medium and were incubated for 3 hours (37°C). After incubation, the tissues were washed with PBS and any resultant colour was extracted with 2 mL isopropanol overnight. The optical density of each resultant extract was determined spectrophotometrically at 570 nm and cell viability was calculated for each tissue as a percentage of the mean of the negative control tissue. Skin corrosivity potential of the test article was classified according to the remaining cell viability obtained after test article treatment with either of the two treatment times. Also to evaluate whether residual test article was binding to the tissue, a functional check (using freeze-killed control tissue) was performed. Freeze-killed tissues were prepared by placing untreated EpiDerm constructs in the -20°C freezer overnight. The killed tissues were allowed to thaw once at room temperature and were placed back at -20°C overnight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test article, TOFA_DimerFA_TETA_PAA, was not corrosive to skin in the in vitro skin model EpiDermTM.
- Executive summary:
The potential of TOFA_DimerFA_TETA_PAA to cause skin corrosion was evaluated in an in vitro EpiDermTM study, conducted in compliance with GLP and according to OECD Test Guideline 431 and EU Method B.40.
Duplicate EpiDermTM inserts were treated with the test article, distilled water (negative control) and 8N potassium hydroxide (positive control) for 3 minutes and 1 hour. At the end of the treatment period, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and cell viability was assessed using the MTT assay. The skin corrosivity potential was assessed according to the remaining cell viability obtained after test material treatment with either of the two treatment times. Skin viability after a three minute or one hour exposure to the test article was 61% and 35%, respectively. Skin viability after a three minute or one hour exposure to the positive control article was 22% and 11%, respectively, demonstrating appropriate performance of the assay. The test article, TOFA_DimerFA_TETA_PAA, was not corrosive to skin in the in vitro skin model EpiDermTM.
