- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the irritation potential of Magnesium glycerophosphate by means of the Human Skin Model Test.
The test item passed the MTT- and the Colour Interference pre-tests.
The test item, the negative control (DPBS), and the positive control (5% SLS) were applied to triplicate tissue each.
The test item and the positive and negative controls were washed off the skin tissues after 60minutes treatment. After further incubation forabout 41.5 hours the tissues were treated with the MTT solution for 3 hours following 2.5hours extraction of the colorant from the cells. The amount of extracted colorant was determined photometrically at 570 nm.
After treatment with the negative control the absorbance values were well within the required acceptability criterion of mean OD³0.8 and ≤ 2.8 for the 60 minutes treatment interval thus showing the quality of the tissues.
Treatment with the positive control induced a decrease in the relative absorbance comparedwith the negative control to 4.7% thus ensuring the validity of the test system.
The relative standard deviations between the % variability values of the test item, the positiveand negative controls in the main test were below 10% (threshold of the "OECD Guidelinefor the Testing of Chemicals 439:In vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method”: < 18%), thus ensuring the validity of the study.
Compared to the relative absorbance value of the negative controlthe mean relativeabsorbance value was reduced to 99.7% after exposure of the skin tissues to the test item. This value is above the threshold for irritancy of ≤ 50%. Therefore, the test item is not considered to possess an irritant potential.

- Vehicle:
- physiological saline
- Controls:
- other: 10% (w/v) Benzalkonium chloride in 0.9% (w/v) NaCl (saline); negative control: Saline
- Amount / concentration applied:
- The test item was tested as a 20% suspension (w/v) in saline using sonication for 10 minutes.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 240 minutes
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 corneae per group (test item, negative control, positive control)
- Details on study design:
- The anterior compartment received the test item suspension or the negative or positive controls at a volume of 0.75 mL each on the surface of the corneae, respectively. The corneae were incubated in a horizontal position at 32 ± 1 °C in the water-bath.
The incubation time lasted 240 minutes.
Afterwards, the test item or the control items, respectively, were each rinsed off from the according application sides with saline, and fresh incubation medium was added into the anterior compartment and opacity was measured (t240). In the second step of the assay, permeability of the cornea was determined.
SCORING SYSTEM:
Opacity measurement
The opacitometer determines changes in the light transmission passing through the corneae, and displays a numerical opacity value. This value was recorded in a table. The opacitometer OP_KiT opacitometer (Electro Design, 63-Riom France) was calibrated as described in the manual and the opacity of each of the corneae was determined by reading each holder placed in the photoreceptor compartment for treated cornea.
For equilibration and prior to application of the test item or controls, the corneae in the holder were incubated in a vertical position for about one hour at 32 ± 1 °C in a water-bath. At the end of the incubation period, the basal opacity was determined (t0). After exposure of the corneae to the test groups, after rinsing and further incubation of the corneae for two hours, the opacity value was determined again (t240).
Permeability Determination
Following to the opacity readings, the permeability was measured as an indication of the integrity of the epithelial cell sheets. After the final opacity measurement was performed, the incubation medium will be removed from the anterior compartment and replaced by 1 mL of a 0.5% (w/v) sodium fluorescein solution in HBSS. Corneae were incubated again in a horizontal position for 90 ± 10 minutes in a water-bath at 32 ± 1 °C. Incubation medium from the posterior compartment were removed, well mixed and transferred into a 96 well plate and the optical density at 490 nm (OD490) was determined with a spectrophotometer (Versamax® Molecular Devices). The absorbance values will be determined using the software SoftMax Pro Enterprise (version 4.7.1).
DATA EVALUATION
Opacity
The change of opacity value of each treated cornea or positive and negative control corneae is calculated by subtracting the initial basal opacity from the post treatment opacity reading (t240 – t0), for each individual cornea.
The average change in opacity of the negative control corneae is calculated and this value is subtracted from the change in opacity of each treated cornea or positive control to obtain a corrected opacity.
Permeability
The corrected OD490 value of each cornea treated with positive control and test item is calculated by subtracting the average negative control cornea value from the original permeability value for each cornea.
IVIS Calculation
The following formula is used to determine the IVIS of the negative control:
IVIS = opacity value + (15 x OD490 value)
The following formula is used to determine the IVIS of the positive control and the test item:
IVIS = (opacity value – opacity value mean negative control) + (15 x corrected OD490 value)
The mean IVIS value of each treated group is calculated from the IVIS values.
Depending on the score obtained, the test item is classified into the following category according to OECD guideline 437:
IVIS: In vitro Irritancy Score (according to OECD 437):
≤ 3 No Category (according to GHS)
> 3; ≤ 55 No prediction can be made
> 55 Serious eye damaging according to CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)
Criteria for Determination of a Valid Test
The test will be acceptable if
• the positive control gives an IVIS that falls within two standard deviations of the current historical mean (updated every three months), and if
• the negative control responses result in opacity and permeability values that are less than the established upper limits for background opacity and permeability values for bovine corneae treated with the respective negative control. - Irritation parameter:
- in vitro irritation score
- Run / experiment:
- Mean of 3
- Value:
- 1.68
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Relative to the negative control, the test item Magnesium glycerophosphate did not cause a relevant increase of the corneal opacity or permeability. The calculated mean IVIS was 1.68 (threshold for serious eye damage: IVIS > 55). According to OECD 437, the test item is not categorized.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- According to the current BCOP study and under the experimental conditions reported, Magnesium glycerophosphate is not categorized as irritant (GHS).
- Executive summary:
This in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal damage potential of Magnesium glycerophosphate by means of the BCOP assay using fresh bovine corneae.
After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneae (t0), the 20% (w/v)suspensionin saline of the test item Magnesium glycerophosphate, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to the different corneae and incubated for 240 minutes at 32± 1 °C. After the incubation phase, the test item as well as the positive and the negative controls were each rinsed from the corneae andopacity was measured again (t240).
After the opacity measurements, permeability of the corneae was determined by measuring spectrophotometrically the transfer of sodium fluorescein after incubation in a horizontal position for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C.
For the negative control (saline) an increase of neither opacity nor permeability of thecorneae could be observed (mean IVIS = 1.04).
The positive control (10% (w/v) Benzalkonium chloride in saline) showed clear opacity of the corneae (mean IVIS =130.61) corresponding to a classification as serious eye damaging (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).
The test item Magnesium glycerophosphate was tested assuspension. Relative to the negative control, the test item Magnesium glycerophosphate did not cause a relevant increase of the corneal opacity or permeability. The calculated mean IVIS was 1.68 (threshold for serious eye damage: IVIS > 55). According to OECD 437, the test item is not categorized.
