Controls:

3 minutes and 60 minutes
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
2 replicate tissues per treatment period are dosed with the neat test item, the negative control (A. dest.) and the positive control (8 N KOH), repectively. After each treatment period the test item and controls are rinsed off and the tissues are stained via MTT for 3 hours. Isopropanol extracts are measured photometrically at 550 nm.

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
if mean tissue viability after 3 min is >= 50% and after 60 min is >= 15% of the respective negative control, the test item is classified as non-corrosive
Other effects:
The mixture of 100 µl test item per 1 ml MTT medium showed reduction of MTT compared to the solvent. The mixture turned blue/purple. Treatment of killed tissues with the test item showed that the test item was washed away before the addition of the MTT solution. Therefore, an influence on the assay was not detectable and a quantitative correction of results was not necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: OECD 431
Conclusions:
The test item is classified as "corrosive".
Executive summary:

The potential of the test item to induce skin corrosion was analysed by using the three-dimensional human skin model EpiDermTM, comprising a reconstructed epidermis with a functional stratum corneum. The undiluted substance was applied topically to the EpiDermTM tissue for 3 minutes and 60 minutes respectively, followed by immediate determination of cytotoxic effects via the MTT reduction assay. Corrosivity potential was predicted from the relative mean tissue viabilities obtained after both treatment periods compared to the corresponding negative control tissues concurrently treated with A. dest (distilled water).

The test item showed corrosive effects in that the mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) was > 50% (95%) after3 minute treatment and < 15% (13%) after 60 minute treatment. The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean OD550 of the two negative control tissues was > 0.8 for each exposure period. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was < 30% (12%) after 3 minute treatment. The maximum inter tissue difference of replicate tissues of all dose groups was < 30% (1.3% - 14.8%).

Based on the results of this study, the test item showed corrosive effects. The test item therefore is classified as "corrosive".
