New Horizons in Skin Sensitization Assessment of Complex Mixtures: The Use of New Approach Methodologies Beyond Regulatory Approaches.

ABSTRACT: Skin sensitization is a complex biological process induced by a wide range of chemicals, from single molecules to complex mixtures and finished products. While single chemical entities were used to design and validate sophisticated safety assessment assays, complex chemistries have proven challenging to test in practice using these methods. These assays range from in silico and in chemico methods to cell-based and reconstructed tissues-based approaches and target the key events now grouped within the Adverse Outcome Pathway. We focused our analysis on the use of New Approach Methodologies for skin sensitization assessments of complex mixtures, botanicals, medical and wearable devices, agrochemicals, and pollutants. We present the defined approaches that integrate these technologies, aligni
