other: not applicable

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

The EpiOcularTM model (OCL-200) is a three-dimensional non-keratinized tissue construct composed of normal human derived epidermal keratinozytes used to model the human corneal epithelium. The EpiOcularTM tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELLs, 10 mm diameter) and are commercially available as kits (EpiOcular™ 200), containing 24 tissues on shipping agarose.

To assess the ability of the test material to directly reduce MTT a pretest was performed.

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: yes (tissue incubations for positive and negative controls included)

Amount / concentration applied:

bulk volume of ca. 50 μL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

6 hours

Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):

18h

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

Two tissue samples were used per group.

Details on study design:

Tissue destruction was determined by measuring the metabolic activity of the tissue after exposure/post-incubation using a colorimetric test. The reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by reduced formazan production after incubation with a tetrazolium salt (MTT) was chosen as endpoint. The formazan production of the testsubstance treated epidermal tissues is compared to that of negative control tissues. The
quotient of the values indicates the relative tissue viability.

Results and discussion

mean

Value:

81

Vehicle controls validity:

valid

Negative controls validity:

not applicable

Positive controls validity:

valid

Any other information on results incl. tables

Methyl acetate was used as positive control and deionised water as negative control and both gave the results to satisfy acceptance criteria.

Methyl acetate decreased the mean viability to 12 % of control cultures.
