Source species:
human
Cell type:
non-transformed keratinocytes
Cell source:
other: MatTek Corporation, Ashland MA, U.S.A
Source strain:
not specified
Justification for test system used:
Recommended test system in international guidelines (OECD and EC).
Details on test system:
EpiDerm Skin Model (EPI-200, Lot no.: 15600 kit U). The model consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a multilayered, highly differentiated model of the human epidermis. It consists of organized basal, spinous and granular layers, and a multi-layered stratum corneum containing intercellular lamellar lipid layers arranged in patterns analogous to those found in vivo. The EpiDerm tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) were cultured on polycarbonate membranes of 10 mm cell culture inserts.
Control samples:
yes, concurrent negative control
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount/concentration applied:
Skin tissue was moistened with 25 µl of Milli-Q water and 25 mg of N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl
Duration of treatment / exposure:
3 minutes and 1 hour
Number of replicates:
3

Other effects / acceptance of results:
The in vitro skin corrosion test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria: a) The absolute mean OD540 of the two tissues of the negative control should reasonably be within the laboratory historical control data range. b) The mean relative tissue viability following 3-minute exposure to the positive control should be <= 30%. c) The maximum inter-tissue variability (in viability) is 30% between two tissues treated identically. d) The maximum difference in percentage between the mean viability of two tissues and one of the two tissues is 15%

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In vitro skin corrosion test with N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl using a human skin model.

This report describes the ability of N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl to induce skin corrosion on a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of  N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl was tested through topical application for 3 minutes and 1 hour.

The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD and EC guidelines.

Batch # 11560006 of N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl was a beige powder. Skin tissue was moistened with 25 µl of Milli-Q water and 25 mg of N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl was applied directly on top of the skin tissue

The positive control had a mean relative tissue viability of 17% after 3 minutes exposure. The absolute mean OD540 (optical density at 540 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range for the 3-minute exposure time. For the 1-hour exposure time the absolute mean OD540 of the negative control tissues was just below the laboratory historical control data range. The maximum inter-tissue variability in viability between two tissues treated identically was less than 21% and the maximum difference in percentage between the mean viability of two tissues and one of the two tissues was less than 12%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test substance. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl compared to the negative control tissues was 86% and 12%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl was below 15% after the 1-hour treatment it is considered to be corrosive.

Finally, it is concluded that this test is valid and that N-t-butylglycine acid chloride HCl is corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
