Details on study design:
Follicular keratosis is judged both macroscopically (visually) and microscopically with a micrometer to measure the width of the follicular keratosis. The macroscopic response is determined by averaging the measurements of the width of six follicles using a Mitutoyo Dial Micrometer (#536-724). A similar microscopic micrometer measurement is obtained by averaging the width of six follicles under a magnification of 430 x after a 6-ram biopsy specimen is fixed in formalin, sectioned at six microns, and stained with hema- toxylin-eosin.
The results are then combined on a scale of one to five.

Guideline:
other: Neutral Red Uptake assay (NRU) on human keratinocytes
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The NRU cytotoxicity assay procedure is a cell survival/viability chemosensitivity assay based on the ability of viable cells to incorporate and bind neutral red (NR), a supravital dye. NR is a weak cationic dye that readily penetrates cell membranes by non-ionic diffusion and accumulates intracellularly in lysosomes. Alterations of the cell surface or the sensitive lysosomal membrane lead to lysosomal fragility and other changes that gradually become irreversible. Such changes brought about by the action of xenobiotics result in a decreased uptake and binding of NR. It is thus possible to distinguish between viable, damaged, or dead cells, which is the basis of this assay.
In several studies for its ability to predict eye irritation potential as reflected by Draize scores. (Guidance Document on Using In VitroData to Estimate In Vivo Starting Doses for Acute Toxicity - ICCVAM)

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Human keratinocytes (HaCat).
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount / concentration applied:
3.162 to 10000 µg/ml medium
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Details on study design:
Monolayers of human keratinocytes (HaCat) were exposed in 96-well microtiter plates to various concentrations of Curry Red for 24 hours and cell viability was measured by neutral red uptake.
The concentration causing a 50 % reduction in neutral red uptake compared to the concurrent control (NRU-50) is determined. This figure, as a measure for
cytotoxicity of a test item in this cell culture, is compared to findings with known eye irritants under identical test conditions and allows a prediction of the eye irritation potential of a test item.
Irritation parameter:
in vitro irritation score
Value:
0
Remarks on result:
no indication of irritation
Other effects / acceptance of results:
No NRU-50 value could be determined as the viability was still 71 % in the first and 69 % in the second assay after treatment with the highest test concentration of 10000 μg/ml medium.
Thus, the NRU-50 was > 10000 μg/ml.
The NRU-50 values obtained with the positive control SLS (12.5 and 15.6 μg/ml) were in the range of the historical control data of the laboratory and demonstrate the validity and sensitivity of the assay.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not eye irritant
Executive summary:

According to the classification system of the performing laboratory discriminating between non irritant, not-classified and severe, the tested substance is classified as non-irritant.

Additional information

An vitro test following OECD 491 was performed on Acid Red 62 but the result was "not classificable" since no classification criteria were met.

The assessment for eye irritation was defined on available test data on similar substance.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on indication on the Regulation CE 1272/2008:

SKIN IRRITATION/CORROSION

A corrosive substance is a substance that produces destruction of skin tissue, namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and into the dermis, in at least 1 tested animal after exposure up to 4 hour duration.

Three subcategories are provided within the corrosive category 1:

Subcategory 1A where responses are noted following up to 3 minutes exposure and up to 1 hour observation;

Subcategory 1B where responses are described following exposure between 3 minutes and 1 hour and observations up to 14 days;

Subcategory 1C where responses occur after exposures between 1 hour and 4 hours and observations up to 14 days

To classify a substance as irritant, the major criterion is that at least 2 of 3 tested animals have a mean score of ≥ 2,3 - ≤ 4,0.

Category 2:

- Mean value of ≥ 2,3 - ≤ 4,0 for erythema/ eschar or for oedema in at least 2 of 3 tested animals from grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal or, if reactions are delayed, from grades on 3 consecutive days after the onset of skin reactions; or

- Inflammation that persists to the end of the observation period normally 14 days in at least 2 animals, particularly taking into account alopecia (limited area), hyperkeratosis, hyperplasia, and scaling; or

- In some cases where there is pronounced variability of response among animals, with very definite positive effects related to chemical exposure in a single animal but less than the criteria above.

The substance is not classified as skin irritant because in the performed tests it doesn't meet the classification criteria of the CLP regulation n. 1272/2008.

 

EYE IRRITATION

Serious eye damage means the production of tissue damage in the eye, or serious physical decay of vision, following application of a test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which is not fully reversible within 21 days of application.

Eye irritation means the production of changes in the eye following the application of test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which are fully reversible within 21 days of application.

Irreversible effects on the eye (Category 1):

If, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:

- at least in one animal effects on the cornea, iris or conjunctiva that are not expected to reverse or have not fully reversed within an observation period of normally 21 days; and/ or

- at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of corneal opacity ≥ 3 and/or iritis > 1,5 calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material.

These observations include animals with grade 4 cornea lesions and other severe reactions (e.g., destruction of cornea) observed at any time during the test, as well as persistent corneal opacity, discoloration of the cornea by a dye substance, adhesion, pannus, and interference with the function of the iris or other effects that impair sight. In this context, persistent lesions are considered those which are not fully reversible within an observation period of normally 21 days. Substances are also classified in Category 1 if they fulfil the criteria of corneal opacity ≥ 3 or iritis > 1,5 detected in a Draize eye test with rabbits, recognising that such severe lesions usually do not reverse within a 21-day observation period.

The substance does not meet the requirements to be classified in Category 1.

Irritating to eyes (Category 2)

when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:

- at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of: corneal opacity ≥ 1 and/or iritis ≥ 1, and/or conjunctival redness ≥ 2 and/or conjunctival oedema (chemosis) ≥ 2

calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material, and which fully reverses within an observation period of 21 days.

The substance does not meet the requirements to be classified in Category 2.

Based on the available tests, the substance should be considered as not eye irritant.
