Test material form:

solid

Details on test material:

- Appearance: white solid
- Storage conditions of test material: in refrigerator (2-8°C)

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 312.6 to 341.6 mg per cornea

NEGATIVE CONTROL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 750 µl of physiological saline per cornea

POSITIVE CONTROL
Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 750 µl per cornea
Concentration (if solution): 20% (w/v) Imidazole

Duration of treatment / exposure:

240 minutes

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Isolated bovine cornea

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: 240 minutes

SCORING SYSTEM:
- After exposure the cornea is thoroughly rinsed to remove the test substance followed by immediate opacity measurement and permeability evaluation of the cornea.

- The mean opacity and mean permeability values (OD490) were used for each treatment group to calculate an in vitro score:

In vitro irritancy score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean OD490 value).


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
- opacitymeter and microplate reader

DATA EVALUATION:

Interpretation of results:

Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Carbaethoxyphthalimid induces serious eye damage in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability test

Executive summary:

The negative control responses of the opacity and permeability values were less than the upper limits of the laboratory historical range indicating that the negative control did not induce irritancy on the corneas.The mean in vitro irritancy score of the positive control (20% (w/v) Imidazole) was 136 and within the historical positive control data range. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions were adequate and that the test system functioned properly.

Carbaethoxyphthalimid induced serious eye damage through both endpoints, resulting in a meanin vitroirritancy score of 61 after 240 minutes of treatment.
