Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Neutral red release method : alternative study to animal experimentation used in a set of tests to determine the ocular irritant potential of cosmetic products.
The principle is based on assessing the cytotoxicity of the product tested by identifying the concentration causing 50% mortality (IC50) using the technique of neutral red release.
GLP compliance:
not specified

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
other: SIRC line
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Rabbit cornea fibroblasts are suspended in a culture medium composed of MEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and antibiotics (penicillin - streptomycin (5 000 U/ml)).

Test system

Vehicle:
physiological saline
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
5, 15, 25, 35 and 50%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
60 seconds or 30 seconds for surface active products
Observation period (in vivo):
-
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
not specified
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Only a duplicate for the 50% concentration.
Details on study design:
The test item is diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride to obtain the following concentrations: 5, 15, 25, 35 and 50%.
These dilutions are tested once except the 50% dilution which is tested twice.

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results
Irritation parameter:
other: IC50 (%)
Run / experiment:
Mean
Value:
> 50
Other effects / acceptance of results:
The per cent mortality observed with 50% of the test item, is to 22%.

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The cytotoxicity of COHELISS is thus slight to eye (IC50 >50 and % mortality observed with 50% of test item is comprised between 20 and 50).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The determination of the irritant potential by direct application of a monolayer of rabbit cornea fibroblasts according to the method of neutral red release was made on the test item.
The cytotoxicity of COHELISS is thus slight to eye (IC50 >50 and % mortality observed with 50% of the test item is comprised between 20 and 50).
Executive summary:

The determination of the irritant potential by direct application of a monolayer of rabbit cornea fibroblasts according to the method of neutral red release was made on the test item.

The cytotoxicity of COHELISS is thus slight to eye (IC50 >50 and % mortality observed with 50% of the test item is comprised between 20 and 50).
