- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Experimental design:
The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects, such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. Those exhibiting defects were discarded.
The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish with cMEM (Earle’s Minimum Essential Medium (Life Technologies, Bleiswijk, The Netherlands) containing 1% (v/v) L-glutamine (Life Technologies) and 1% (v/v) Foetal Bovine Serum (Life Technologies)). The isolated corneas were mounted in a corneal holder (one cornea per holder) of BASF (Ludwigshafen, Germany) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder. The anterior half of the holder was positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The compartments of the corneal holder were filled with cMEM of 32 +/- 1 °C. The corneas were incubated for the minimum of 1 hour at 32 +/- 1 °C.
After the incubation period, the medium was removed from both compartments and replaced with fresh cMEM. Opacity determinations were performed on each of the corneas using an opacitometer (BASF-OP3.0, BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany). The opacity of each cornea was read against a cMEM filled chamber, and the initial opacity reading was determined and recorded. Corneas that had an initial opacity reading higher than 7 were not used. Three corneas were selected at random for each treatment group.
Treatment of Corneas and Opacity Measurements:
The medium from the anterior compartment was removed and 750 uL of either the negative control, positive control (Ethanol) or substance was introduced onto the epithelium of the cornea. The holders were slightly rotated, with the corneas maintained in a horizontal position, to ensure uniform distribution of the control or the substance over the entire cornea. Corneas were incubated in a horizontal position for 10 +/- 1 minutes at 32 +/- 1 °C. After the incubation the solutions were removed and the epithelium was washed with MEM with phenol red (Earle’s Minimum Essential Medium, Life Technologies) and thereafter with cMEM. Possible pH effects of the substance on the corneas were recorded. 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 +/- 1 °C. After the completion of the incubation period opacity determination was performed. Each cornea was inspected visually for dissimilar opacity patterns.
Permeability Determinations.
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 (TECAN Infinite® M200 Pro Plate 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 has been performed, the OD490 of each reading of the positive control and the substance was corrected for the mean negative control OD490 before the dilution factor was applied to the reading.

- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- The mean negative control responses for opacity and permeability were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas. Altough one of the negative control treated corneas was translucent, the mean results are within the acceptability range therefore this has no impact on the study result. The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (Ethanol) was 47 and within two standard deviations of the current historical positive control mean. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The results of an in vitro eye corrosion/irritation study employing isolated bovine cornea exposed to undiluted substance for 10-minutes indicate that it is a non-irritant to the eye.
- Executive summary:
In a reliable in vitro eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD Guideline 437, ‘Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage’, the ability of the substance to induce opacity and permeability in an isolated bovine cornea were determined.
The substance was applied undiluted at 750 µL onto corneas (n=3) for a period of 10 minutes, followed by rinsing of the substance and further incubation for 2 hours. The opacity and permeability of the corneas were determined after 90 minutes incubation with fluorescein.
The substance did not induce ocular irritation according to opacity and permeability, resulting in a mean in vitro irritancy score (IVIS) of -0.7. In conclusion, since the substance induced an IVIS ≤ 3, the substance is considered to be a non- irritant to the eye and not expected to cause serious eye damage.
