GREEN Amino Acids CIR EXPERT PANEL MEETING MARCH 5-6, 2012

Memorandum To: From: CIR Expert Panel Members and Liaisons Christina L. Burnett Scientific Writer/Analyst Date: January 23, 2012 Subject: Draft Report on Amino Acids In September 2011, CIR issued the Scientific Literature Review (SLR) for amino acids. As the strategy was developed for how to approach this safety assessment, the Panel s recommendation was to rely heavily on the GRAS direct food additive status of many of these common amino acids to demonstrate the absence of significant oral toxicity --- and to do this safety assessment first, as a prelude to considering ingredients that contain amino acids and various protein hydrolysates. That is the approach we have taken. As a result, the draft report for amino acids is limited to the common amino acids and emphasizes available information on adverse reactions to dermal exposures. In the SLR, data were requested on any possible reactions that may occur in individuals with sensitivities to phenylalanine and monosodium glutamate following dermal exposure. No such data were received. Since the September announcement, the Personal Care Products Council (Council) has provided comments on the report, which have been considered, and method of manufacturing and HRIPT data which have been incorporated. The comments and the data are in the panel book so that you can see what was provided. According to the FDA s VCRP database, arginine has the most reported uses in cosmetic and personal care products, with a total of 440; 328 of those uses are in leave-on formulations. Glycine has the second greatest number of overall uses reported, with a total of 323; 221 of those uses are in leave-on formulations. No uses were reported to the VCRP for sodium aspartate, dipotassium aspartate, calcium aspartate, calcium glycinate, or magnesium glycinate. In the Council s use concentration survey, arginine had a wide maximum use concentration range of 2.0 x 10-5 to 18%, with the 18% reported in paste masks and mud packs. Glycine also had a wide maximum use concentration range of 5.0 x 10-4 to 4%, with the 4% reported in hair dyes and non-spray deodorants. No use concentrations were reported for asparagine, sodium aspartate, dipotassium aspartate, calcium aspartate, sodium glycinate, and magnesium glycinate. If no further data are needed, the Panel should issue a Tentative Report.

INTRODUCTION Amino acids and their salts are widely used as cosmetic ingredients, and function primarily as hair conditioning agents and skin conditioning agents (humectant and miscellaneous). The 21 most common naturally occurring amino acids also are building blocks to proteins. As such, amino acids are critical to life and metabolic function. Eight of these amino acids, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine, are both essential and must be obtained through nutrients as they cannot be synthesized. Because amino acids are present in all living organisms and their general biology is well characterized, they are not considered to pose any significant safety concern following oral exposure, except to individuals with certain genetic disorders.. Accordingly, this safety assessment focuses on the basic chemistry, uses as cosmetic ingredients, and, because of the importance for products that will be applied to the skin, addresses all irritation and sensitization data available on these 21 amino acids and their simple salts.. The full list of ingredients in this report is found in Table 1. With the exception of glycine and methionine, the naturally occurring amino acids are all α-amino acids, with S-stereochemistry (commonly referred to as L- ) at the α-carbon. The L- amino acids are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) direct food additives by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), thus oral toxicity was not a focus for these ingredients in this assessment. CHEMISTRY The definition and structure of these ingredients are presented in Table 2, and available information on the physical and chemical properties of amino acids and their salts are presented in Table 3. The generic term amino acid is commonly considered shorthand for α-amino acid. This designates a carboxylic acid with an amine group on the immediately adjacent (α) carbon. Figure 1. α-amino acids The natural amino acids, those that play an important role in human biochemistry, are all α-amino acids, with S-stereochemistry (commonly referred to as L- ) at the α-carbon (except glycine and methionine). Glycine is achiral (no stereochemistry). Methionine is the one natural amino acid to also play an important role in human biochemistry with an R-stereogenic carbon (commonly referred to as D- ). Additionally, all of the natural amino acids contain primary amines (i.e. acids with an NH 2 group pendant from the α-carbon), except proline, which is a secondary amine. O O O H 3 C S OH H 3 C S OH OH NH 2 NH 2 NH 2 o amine Glycine is achiral Methionine is commonly found in the L- and D-forms Proline is a secondary amine Figure 2. Exceptions in natural amino acid chirality and amine substitution Cysteine and cystine are related as thiol (mercaptan) and the disulfide (thiol dimer) of said thiol, respectively. These two molecules play major roles in reversible cellular redox chemistry and can serve a similar function in hairdressings, such as permanent waves. 1 CIR Panel Book Page 7

Figure 3. Cysteine/Cystine redox chemistry Method of Manufacturing In a test sample, L-arginine was produced from the fermentation of unspecified sugars. 1 L-glutamic acid is reported to be produced from the fermentation of sugarcane. 2 One supplier that reported the sale of D-glutamic acid to the cosmetics industry states that racemization of L-glutamic acid results in the production of D-glutamic acid. Impurities A supplier to the cosmetics industry reported that D-glutamic acid has not more than 0.3% methanol. 2 USE Cosmetic The amino acids and the salts discussed in this safety assessment function primarily as hair conditioning agents and skin conditioning agents (humectant and miscellaneous) in cosmetic formulations. 3 Additional functions may include the use as oral care agents (arginine), antioxidants (cysteine and cysteine HCl), hair waving/straightening agents (cysteine and cysteine HCl), reducing agents (cysteine and cysteine HCl), fragrance ingredients (cystine), buffering agents (glycine and its calcium and magnesium salts), and ph adjusters (glycine and its calcium and magnesium salts). Table 4 presents the current product formulation data for amino acids. According to information supplied to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by industry as part of the Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP), arginine has the most reported uses in cosmetic and personal care products, with a total of 440; 328 of those uses are in leave-on formulations. 4 Glycine has the second greatest number of overall uses reported, with a total of 323; 221 of those uses are in leave-on formulations. No uses were reported to the VCRP for sodium aspartate, dipotassium aspartate, calcium aspartate, calcium glycinate, or magnesium glycinate. In a recent survey of use concentrations, arginine had a maximum use concentration range of 2.0 x 10-5 to 18%, with the 18% reported in paste masks and mud packs. 5 Glycine had a maximum use concentration range of 5.0 x 10-4 to 4%, with the 4% reported in hair dyes and non-spray deodorants. No use concentrations were reported for asparagine, sodium aspartate, dipotassium aspartate, calcium aspartate, sodium glycinate, and magnesium glycinate. Products containing amino acids are reported to be used on baby skin, may be applied to the eye area or mucous membranes, or could be incidentally ingested. Additionally, amino acids are used in cosmetic sprays, including hair, deodorant, and other propellant and pump spray products, and could possibly be inhaled. In practice, 95% to 99% of the droplets/particles released from cosmetic sprays have aerodynamic equivalent diameters >10 µm, with propellant sprays yielding a greater fraction of droplets/particles <10 µm compared with pump sprays. 6,7 Therefore, most droplets/particles incidentally inhaled from cosmetic sprays would be deposited in the nasopharyngeal and thoracic regions of the respiratory tract and would not be respirable (ie, able to enter the lungs) to any appreciable amount. 8,9 However, the potential for inhalation toxicity is not limited to respirable droplets/particles deposited in the lungs. Inhaled droplets/particles deposited in the nasopharyngeal and thoracic regions may cause toxic effects depending on their chemical and other properties. 2 CIR Panel Book Page 8

The European Commission s Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) concluded that the risk of exposure to viruses, such as avian influenza virus or papillomavirus, is negligible through topical application of cosmetic products containing amino acids that are obtained from hydrolysis of human hair or chicken feathers. 10 Non-Cosmetic The FDA approved the use of amino acids as food additives in the free, hydrated or anhydrous forms or as the hydrochloride, sodium or potassium salts (21 CFR 172.320). In addition to food additives and supplements, amino acids also may be used in the production of pesticides. 11,12 TOXICOLOGICAL STUDIES The amino acids in this assessment are found in the foods we consume daily, and the daily exposure from food use would result in a much larger systemic dose than that resulting from use in cosmetic products. Numerous studies and reviews have been published in the literature regarding the safety of dietary exposure to amino acids, including a review by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) that summarized studies on oral acute and chronic exposure/carcinogenicity studies and genotoxicity and found no safety concerns with regards to these substances at the amounts they are used in flavoring agents. 13 Also, as noted earlier, the L- amino acids are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) in direct food additives by the FDA. Consequently, the systemic toxicity potential is not addressed further in this report. The safety focus of use of these amino acids as cosmetic ingredients is on the potential for irritation and sensitization. Enzyme Regulation Because keratinocytes play a role in dermal sensitization reactions, it may be informative that in an in vitro study using human keratinocytes, continuous application of arginine (L-) at concentrations of 10-50 mmol/l was found to increase endogenous intrakeratinocytic urea synthesis through increased activity of keratinocytic arginase. 14 IRRITATION AND SENSITIZATION Irritation Dermal Non-Human ARGININE In a Draize test in 4 male New Zealand albino rabbits, 5% L-arginine in distilled water was nonirritating. 15 CYSTEINE HCL Cysteine HCl up to 500 mm was used as a negative control in an in vitro assay to predict potential skin irritants. 16 METHIONINE Methionine up to 500 mm was used as a negative control in an in vitro assay to predict potential skin irritants. 16 Ocular Non-Human ARGININE L-Arginine at a concentration of 5% in distilled water was determined to be nonirritating to rabbit eyes in a Draize test using 4 male New Zealand albino rabbits. 15 Sensitization Dermal Non-Human ARGININE In an efficacy study of a wound dressing composed of a hyaluronic acid sponge containing 0.2-1.0 g arginine (final concentrations not specified), the amino acid did not produce any adverse effects in Sprague-Dawley rats. 17 A maximization test of 5% L-arginine in distilled water was negative for skin sensitization in 10 female Dunkin-Hartley albino guinea pigs. 15 CYSTEINE Cysteine up to a concentration of 13% did not produce adverse effects in albino guinea pigs in efficacy studies of this amino acid for the treatment of sesquiterpene lactone-induced acute contact dermatitis. 18,19 GLUTAMIC ACID Glutamic acid (concentrations not specified) was used as a negative control in a cell-based in vitro alternative to identify skin sensitizers. 20,21 3 CIR Panel Book Page 9

GLYCINE Glycine at 1 mmol/l in 50% ethanol, when used as a topical-barrier recovery-accelerator in a mouse skin model for chronic eczematous dermatitis, did not produce adverse effects. 22 Dermal Human ALANINE In a human repeat insult patch test (HRIPT) conducted using 104 subjects, 0.04% alanine in a face and neck product tested at 100% under semi-occlusive conditions did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 ARGININE In the HRIPT study of a face and neck product described above, 0.15% arginine did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 A HRIPT of the potential of 1.1% arginine to induce contact sensitization was conducted using 105 subjects. 24 The subjects received 0.2 g applications of a mascara. Induction applications were made to the infrascapular region of the back with a 1 in 2 pad portion of an adhesive dressing. The test sites were semi-occluded. The patches were removed after 24 h and there were 9 consecutive applications. Following a 2 week non-treatment period, the challenge application was applied to a previously untreated site for 24 h, and the site was scored 24 and 72 h after patch removal. No skin reactions were observed in the induction or challenge phases. The study concluded that there was no evidence of sensitization to a mascara containing 1.1% arginine. In a HRIPT conducted using 56 subjects, 1% arginine in a face and neck product tested at 100% under semi-occlusive conditions did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 In another HRIPT of a face and neck product at 100% under semi-occlusive conditions, 0.025% arginine was not an irritant or sensitizer in 102 subjects. 23 Arginine at 0.27% in a suntan product tested at 100% under occlusive conditions did not produce signs of irriation or sensitization in 104 subjects. 23 GLUTAMIC ACID In the HRIPT study of 104 subjects using a face and neck product that is described above, 0.01% glutamic acid did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 GLYCINE The potential of 2.784% glycine to induce dermal irritation and contact sensitization was studied in108 subjects. 25 The subjects received an unreported amount of an A/P roll-on. Induction applications were made to the infrascapular region of the back and the test sites were semi-occluded. The patches were removed after 24 h and there were 9 consecutive applications. Following 2 week non-treatment period, the challenge application was applied to a previously untreated site for 24 h, and the site was scored 48 and 72 h after application. During the induction phase, several subjects had a single incidence of a + reaction that was not observed in subsequent patches. No reactions were observed in the challenge phase. The study concluded that there was no evidence that the A/P roll-on containing 2.784% glycine elicited dermal irritation or sensitization. In the HRIPT of 102 subjects with a face and neck product that is described above, 0.025% glycine was not an irritant or a sensitizer. 23 HISTIDINE In the HRIPT study of 104 subjects using a face and neck product that is described above, 0.05% histidine did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 HISTIDINE HCL In the study above that describes a HRIPT of a suntan product in 104 subjects, 0.07% histidine HCl did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 LYSINE In the HRIPT study of 104 subjects using a face and neck product that is described above, 0.01% lysine did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 METHIONINE In the HRIPT of 102 subjects with a face and neck product that is described above, 0.005% methionine was not an irritant or a sensitizer. 23 PHENYLALANINE Phenylalanine at 0.03% in the HRIPT of a suntan product that is described above did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 SERINE In the HRIPT study of 104 subjects using a face and neck product that is described above, 013% serine did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 TYROSINE 4 CIR Panel Book Page 10

Tyrosine at 0.03% in the HRIPT of a suntan product that is described above did not produce signs of irritation or sensitization. 23 Phototoxicity HISTIDINE In several validation studies for in vitro phototoxicity assays, histidine up to a concentration of 10% was used as a negative control. 26,27 AMINO ACID ANALOGS Glyphosate, an aminophosphonic analog of glycine, is a non-selective herbicide that has very low acute dermal toxicity in animals (>2000 mg/kg bw). 11 Dermal penetration in in vitro human skin samples and in vivo monkey studies was very low. 28 Skin contact can cause irritation and contact dermatitis; however, these effects are probably due to preservatives or co-formulants and not to glyphosate itself. 11 Ocular exposure may cause mild conjunctivitis and superficial corneal injury. SUMMARY Amino acids are critical to life and metabolic function. Because amino acids are present in all living organisms, they are not considered to pose any significant safety concern following oral exposure, except to individuals with certain genetic disorders, and their general biology is well characterized. The amino acids and their salts are used primarily as hair conditioning agents and skin conditioning agents in cosmetic formulations. Arginine has the most reported uses in cosmetic and personal care products, with a total of 440. The maximum use concentration range for arginine is 2.0 x 10-5 to 18%. Glycine has the second greatest number of overall uses reported, with a total of 323, and has a maximum use concentration range of 5.0 x 10-4 to 4%. The European Commission s SCCP concluded that the risk of exposure to viruses, such as avian influenza virus or papillomavirus, is negligible through topical application of cosmetic products containing amino acids that are obtained from hydrolysis of human hair or chicken feathers. The L- amino acids are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) in direct food additives by the FDA. In addition to food additives and supplements, amino acids may be used in the production of pesticides. An in vitro study using human keratinocytes found that continuous application of arginine (L-) increased endogenous intrakeratinocytic urea synthesis through increased activity of keratinocytic arginase. Cysteine HCl and methionine were used as negative controls in in vitro assays to predict potential skin irritants. In separate efficacy studies, arginine and cysteine did not produce any adverse effects in rats or guinea pigs. Glutamic acid was used as a negative control in an in vitro study to identify skin sensitizers. Glycine, when used as a topical-barrier recovery-accelerator in a mouse skin model for chronic eczematous dermatitis, did not produce adverse effects. A HRIPT study concluded that there was no evidence of sensitization to a mascara containing 1.1% arginine in 105 subjects. Another HRIPT study concluded that there was no evidence that the A/P roll-on containing 2.784% glycine elicited dermal irritation or sensitization. In several validation studies for in vitro phototoxicity assays, histidine was used as a negative control. The herbicide glyphosate, an aminophosphonic analog of glycine, has very low acute dermal toxicity in animals and very low dermal penetration in in vitro human skin samples and in vivo monkey studies was very low. Irritation and contact dermatitis that have been observed in case studies may be due to preservatives or coformulants in glyphosate products. Ocular exposure may cause mild conjunctivitis and superficial corneal injury. 5 CIR Panel Book Page 11
