Reaction mass of sodium 1-methoxy-1-oxohexadecane-2-sulphonate and sodium methyl 2-sulphooctadecanoate

Eye irritation

Administrative data

Endpoint:

eye irritation: in vitro / ex vivo

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

18 March 2010

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

guideline study

Justification for type of information:

In the interest of sound science and animal welfare, a sequential testing strategy is recommended to minimise the need of in vivo testing. As a consequence a validated and accepted in vitro test for eye irritation should be performed before in vivo tests are conducted. Where a negative result is obtained, an in vivo test is subsequently required.

Test animals / tissue source

Species:

cattle

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

Bovine eyes from young cattle were used as soon as possible after slaughter on the same day.

Source: obtained from the slaughterhouse (Vitelco, 's Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands) as soon as possible after slaughter, and transported in physiological saline

The isolated corneas were stored at 32 +/- 1ºC in a petri dish with cMEM (Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine and 1% (v/v) Foetal Bovine Serum).

Test system

Vehicle:

physiological saline

Controls:

yes, concurrent vehicle

Amount / concentration applied:

750 µl of a 10% (w/v) suspension

Duration of treatment / exposure:

10 ± 1 min

Observation period (in vivo):

120 ± 10 min

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

1 cornea per treatment group

Details on study design:

Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for 10 ± 1 minutes at 32 ± 1ºC. After the incubation the control or test substance was removed and the epithelium was washed at least three times with cMEM. The medium in the posterior compartment was removed and both compartments were refilled with fresh cMEM. Subsequently the corneas were incubated for 120 ± 10 minutes at 32 ± 1ºC. After the completion of the incubation period opacity determination was performed (opacitometer)

Following the final opacity measurement, permeability of the cornea to Na-fluorescein was evaluated. For thta, the medium of both compartments (anterior compartment first) was removed. The posterior compartment was refilled with fresh cMEM. The anterior compartment was filled with 1 ml of 4 mg Na-fluorescein/ml cMEM solution and were incubated in a horizontal position for 90 ± 5 minutes at 32 ± 1ºC.

After the incubation period, the medium in the posterior compartment of each holder was removed and placed into a sampling tube labelled according to holder number. 360 µl of the medium from each sampling tube was transferred to a 96-well plate. The optical density at
490 nm (OD490) of each sampling tube was measured in triplicate using a microplate reader. Any OD490 that was 1.500 or higher was diluted to bring the OD490 into the acceptable range (linearity up to OD490 of 1.500 was verified before the start of the experiment). OD490 values of less than 1.500 were used in the permeability calculation.

The mean OD490 for each treatment was calculated using cMEM corrected OD490 values. If a dilution was performed, the OD490 of each reading was corrected for the mean negative control OD490 before the dilution factor was applied to the readings.

Other effects / acceptance of results:

The pH of the 10% (w/v) solution of MIZULAN FL-80 was 5.5.
The individual in vitro irritancy scores for the negative controls ranged from -0.1 to 0.2. The individual positive control in vitro irritancy scores ranged from 156 to 189 for Benzalkonium Chloride. The corneas treated with the positive control substances were turbid after the 10 minutes of treatment.

The corneas treated with MIZULAN FL-80 showed opacity values ranging from 0 to 2 and permeability values ranging from 1.122 to 2.304. The corneas were clear after the 10 minutes of treatment with MIZULAN FL-80. Hence, the in vitro irritancy scores ranged from 17 to 37 after 10 minutes of treatment with MIZULAN FL-80.
