- Abstract
- Some cosmetic ingredients can act as a chemical hapten to induce an immune response; therefore, evaluating the sensitizing potential of cosmetic ingredients is essential. We previously developed a novel in chemico direct peptide reactivity assay involving a spectrophotometric evaluation (Spectro-DPRA) for animal skin sensitization tests (local lymph node assay; LLNA). Based on previous research, we expanded the test materials to confirm the effectiveness of the Spectro-DPRA method for predicting the animal skin sensitization potential, and further determined the feasibility of the method for estimating the human skin sensitization potential. Spectro-DPRA showed 83.1% or 89.1% accuracy compared to a conventional LLNA or prediction based on human data, respectively, with a combination model using both a cysteine peptide and lysine peptide cut-off. To identify the effect of the lipophilicity of a chemical on predicting the skin sensitization potential, we applied our prediction model to chemicals with a Log P-ow range of -1 to 4. Overall predictability was increased, and the accuracy compared to the LLNA and human data was 91.5% and 94.9%, respectively, in the combination cut-off prediction model. In conclusion, Spectro-DPRA serves as an easy, rapid, and high-throughput in chemico screening method with high accuracy to predict the human skin sensitization potential of chemicals.
