- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- In the negative control, no signs of eye irritation were observed (IVIS = 0.89; mean over 3 corneas).
The positive control induced serious eye damage (IVIS = 77.74; mean over 3 corneas), which would be classified as GHS category 1.
The test item 3-(Cyclohexylamino)-propane sulfonic acid showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The mean calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is -0.01.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Testing was performed via a GLP OECD 437 guideline study on the registered substance itself. The present in vitro method is recommended in a tiered testing approach and the validity criteria are met, making the results sufficiently reliable to assess the corrosivity of 3-(Cyclohexylamino)-propane sulfonic acid to the eye. The present in vitro method allows the identification of corrosive chemical substances and mixtures or of substances which do not require classification.
One valid experiment was performed. The test item 3-(Cyclohexylamino)-propane sulfonic acid showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is -0.01. The experiment is considered as sufficient for the classification of the test item, because all three replicates of the test item lead to the same assessment for the test item. This single in vitro test can serve as a stand-alone test as it was consistently shown that the test item does not require classification (eye damage). - Executive summary:
In an OECD 437 (in vitro eye corrosion) study under GLP, one valid experiment was performed.
Bovine corneas were used. They were collected from slaughtered cattle which were between 12 and 60 months old.
The test item 3-(Cyclohexylamino)-propane sulfonic acid was brought onto the cornea of a bovine eye which had been incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 h and whose opacity had been measured. The test item was incubated on the cornea for4 h at32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item, opacity and permeability values were measured.
Physiological sodium chloride solution was used as negative control. The negative control showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 0.89.
20% Imidazole solution was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is 77.74.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item 3-(Cyclohexylamino)-propane sulfonic acid showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated IVIS (in vitro irritancy score) is – 0.01.
According to OECD Guideline no. 437 (Jul. 2013), a substance with an IVIS ≤ 3 requires no classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage.
