MEASURED PARAMETERS
The corneas treated with the test item and the control items were evaluated pretreatment and starting at 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes (± 5 minutes) after the post-treatment rinse. At all observation times points, corneal opacity and swelling were evaluated, whereas morphological changes of the corneal surface were recorded. The quantitative determination of fluorescein retention was performed only once, i.e. 30 minutes after the end of the exposure.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Fluorescein retention
0 No fluorescein retention
0.5 Very minor single cell staining
1 Single cell staining scattered throughout the treated area of the cornea
2 Focal or confluent dense single cell staining
3 Confluent large areas of the cornea retaining fluorescein
Corneal opacity
0 No opacity
0.5 Very faint opacity
1 Scattered or diffuse areas; details of the iris are clearly visible
2 Easily discernible translucent areas; details of the iris are slightly obscured
3 Severe corneal opacity; no specific details of the iris are visible; size of the pupil is barely discernible
4 Complete corneal opacity; iris invisible
Corneal swelling
The degree of corneal swelling was determined by measuring corneal thickness using an SP-100 pachymeter.
Gross evaluation
The aim of this evaluation was to determine whether any morphological effects, e.g. pitting of corneal epithelial cells, roughening of the corneal surface, and sticking of the test item to the cornea were visible.
Histopathological evaluation of the treated corneas
Following the final evaluation of the treated eyeballs (240 minutes after the application of the test item and the control items), the eyeballs were fixed in a 4% solution of formaldehyde. Next, specimens were collected (one specimen in the plane including the cornea, lens, and optic nerve). The tissue material was dehydrated and prepared using a paraffin technique. Paraffin blocks were cut into smaller parts, whose thickness was 5 μm, with a microtome and stained using Hematoxylin and Eosin. The following layers of the cornea were evaluated: anterior epithelium, anterior elastic lamina (Bowman’s membrane), corneal stroma, posterior elastic lamina (Descemet’s membrane), and posterior epithelium. All treated eyeballs were subject to this evaluation.
Results and discussion
In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- On the grounds of the study results described in this Report and the overall in vitro irritancy classification, it may be stated that the test item may lead to corneal damage. According to the GHS the test item can be classified into Category 1 (3x ICE class IV) so a second run of nine eyeballs was not conducted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category I
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
- Conclusions:
- The overall in vitro irritancy classification indicate that 4-Aminoquinaldine may lead to corneal damage.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 438 and EU Method B.48. GLP study. Chicken heads were collected from a slaughter house near the laboratory facility. The eyeballs were extracted and were assessed for potential damage by corneal opacity profusion and fluorescein retention at the beginning of the study. The test item and the positive control (imidazole) were applied in the amount of 0.03 g, whereas the item used in the negative control (physiologic salt) was applied in a volume of 0.03 mL, all for a 10 seconds time. Three eyeballs were used for the test item and three for each control item. The quantitative determination of fluorescein retention was performed only once, i.e. 30 minutes after the end of the exposure. The corneas treated with the test and control items were evaluated pretreatment and starting at 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes (± 5 minutes) after the post-treatment rinse. At all observation time points, corneal opacity and swelling were evaluated, whereas morphological changes of the corneal surface were recorded. At the end, the eyeballs were fixed in a 4% solution of formaldehyde to conduct histopathological examinations. The mean fluorescein retention score for the eyeballs treated with the test item was equal to 3.0 (ICE class IV). The mean corneal opacity score for the eyeballs treated with the test item was equal to 3.0 (ICE class IV). The mean corneal swelling values for the test item were from 37.3 to 88.1 (ICE class IV). The positive and negative control values fell within the acceptable ranges for the method. Gross examinations of the eyeballs treated with the test item revealed roughening of the corneal surface. Histopathology revealed cell alteration in the cornea and detachment of the anterior corneal epithelium. According to these results it may be stated that the test item may lead to corneal damage. According to the GHS the test item can be classified into Category 1, so a second run of nine eyeballs was not conducted.
