Test animals / tissue source

Species:
chicken
Strain:
other: ROSS 308
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Source: TARAVIS KFT. (Address: 9600 Sárvár, Rábasömjéni út. 129., Hungary)
Chicken heads were collected after slaughter in a commercial abattoir from chickens (approximately 7 weeks old) which are used for human consumption. Heads were collected by a slaughter house technician and heads transported to Citoxlab Hungary Ltd. at ambient temperature at the earliest convenience.

After collection, the heads were inspected for appropriate quality and wrapped with tissue paper moistened with saline, then placed in a plastic box which was closed (4-5 heads per box). The heads were received at Citoxlab Hungary Ltd. and processed within 2 hours of collection in each experiment.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
yes, concurrent positive control
Amount / concentration applied:
Test item eyes (3 eyes): 30 mg of the test item
Negative control eye (1 eye): 30 µL of physiological saline
positive control eyes (3 eyes) : 30 mg powdered Imidazole
Duration of treatment / exposure:
after an exposure period of 10 seconds from the end of the application the cornea surface was rinsed thoroughly with 20 mL physiological saline solution at ambient temperature,
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Experiment I: 3 eyes
Experiment II: 3 eyes
The test item Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate showed no significant corneal effect in the first experiment. As the test item was solid, the negative results were confirmed by a second experiment according to the recommendations of the OECD No. 438 guideline.
Details on study design:
The control eyes and test eyes were evaluated pre-treatment and at approximately 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.
Corneal thickness and corneal opacity were measured at all time points. Fluorescein retention was measured on two occasions, at baseline (t=0) and approximately 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. Haag-Streit Bern 900 slit-lamp microscope was used for the measurements.

In both experiments, the negative control Physiological saline was classified as non-irritating, UN GHS Classification: No Category.

Morphological effects:
In the first Experiment test item was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse. All cornea surfaces were cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse. In the second Experiment test item was stuck on one cornea surface after the post-treatment rinse. The one cornea surface was cleared at 30 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.

In each experiment positive control material was stuck on all cornea surfaces after the post-treatment rinse, the cornea surfaces were not cleared at 240 minutes after the post-treatment rinse.

No other morphological effect was observed in the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

The irritation effects on the eye of the test item were evaluated according to the OECD No.438 guideline.

The test item was non-irritant, UN GHS Classification: No Category.
