Description of key information

EYE Irritation:

The BCOP IVIS is 7.45 which is just outside the acceptance for a negative result. However, the QSARs performed on the 4 major components are all negative for eye irritation.

Therefore, no classification is required for eye irritation.

Skin Irritation:

In the in vivo OECD 404 study there is slight irritation observed over 9 days. However, this result alonside the supporting skin irritation observed in the OET test concludes that after a single application Lime Oxide is not irritating to skin and no classification is required.

Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test article, a colourless to pale yellow liquid, was identified as Lime Oxide.
A certificate of analysis for the test article was provided.
The test article was administered without dilution.
Species:
cattle
Strain:
not specified
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Corneas were obtained from bovine eyes supplied by a local abattoir. The eyes were
removed after slaughter, completely immersed in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution
(containing penicillin at 100 IU/mL and streptomycin at 100 μg/mL) in a suitably
sized container and transported on the same day to the testing facility.
On arrival at the test facility the eyes were carefully examined for defects including
increased opacity, scratches and neovascularisation. Only corneas free from such
defects were used.
Fresh corneas, mounted onto specifically designed holders were treated topically with
the test material. Eye corrosion / severe irritation potential was based on the combined
effect of the test article on the opacity of the cornea following the treatment and the
cornea’s ability to resist penetration of a fluorescent dye through the tissue.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
750 μL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
10 minute incubation at 32°C ± 1°C.
Observation period (in vivo):
NA
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
NA
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
three corneas
Details on study design:
A volume of 750 μL of the test article was applied to each of three corneas followed
by a ten minute incubation at 32°C. After this incubation, each cornea was washed
with media containing phenol red (as a pH indicator) until this indicator showed no
pH effect occurring (and demonstrating that the test article had been removed
successfully). The corneas were then washed once in media without phenol red. The
corneas were incubated (horizontally) for 2 hours ± 10 minutes after which corneal
opacity was measured.
For the permeability endpoint, the media in the anterior chamber was replaced with
1 mL of sodium fluorescein (4 mg/mL solution), while the posterior chamber was
filled with fresh MEM. The corneas were incubated in the vertical position for
90 minutes. Following this period, the media in the posterior chamber was removed
and held in a labelled tube. Three 350 μL aliquots of this media (per cornea) were
analysed for optical density at 490 nanometers (OD490) using a spectrophotometer.
A volume of 750 μL of the negative or positive control was similarly applied to
further groups of three corneas. These groups were subject to the procedures detailed
above.

Corneal Permeability:
The mean group corrected optical density for the test article was 0.185.
The mean group corrected optical density for the negative control was 0.0.
The mean group corrected optical density for the positive control was 0.203.
Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The test article, Lime Oxide, produced an IVIS score of 7.45. No prediction can be made in respect of its potential to cause eye irritation.
The assay was considered valid as the assay acceptance criteria were met.
