- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 per group
- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS: Eyes were collected by slaughterhouse employees. The eyes were enucleated as soon as possible after death. No detergent was used. The eyes, once they arrive at the laboratory, were carefully examined for defects including scratched, and neovascularisation. Only corneas from eyes free of such defects were used.
Corneas free of defects were dissected with a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera remaining to assist in subsequent handling. Isolated corneas were mounted in specially designed corneal holders that consisted of anterior and posterior compartments, which interfaced with the epithelial and endothelial sides of the cornea, respectively. Both chambers were filled to excess with pre-warmed Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM). The device was then equilibrated at 32 ± 1°C for at least one hour in water bath to allow the corneas to equilibrate with the medium and to achieve normal metabolic activity, to the extent possible.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS: The isolated corneas, after achieve normal metabolic activity (inductive incubation at 32 ± 1°C for one hour), were examined again. The corneas that show macroscopic tissue damage (e.g., scratches, pigmentation, neovascularization) or a baseline opacity >7 opacity units were discarded.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES: Each test group (test item, concurrent negative and positive controls) consisted of the three corneas.
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: 0.9% NaCl solution
POSITIVE CONTROL USED: 20% w/v imidazole in 0.9% NaCl solution
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: Because the test item could not be possible applied by micropipette. The test item (the test item in quantity enough to completely cover the cornea) was applied directly to the epithelial surface of the cornea using the spatula. After dosing, the glass window was replaced on the anterior chamber to recreate a closed system.
Corneas were exposed for 4 hours.
TREATMENT METHOD: open chamber
POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: After the exposure period, the negative and positive control substances and the test item were removed from the anterior chamber with EMEM (containing phenol red - the effectiveness of rinsing acidic or alkaline materials). The corneas were given a final rinse with EMEM (without phenol red). The EMEM (without phenol red) was used as a final rinse to ensure removal of the phenol red from the anterior chamber prior to the opacity measurement. The anterior chamber was then refilled with fresh EMEM without phenol red.
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: application of sodium fluorescein (5 mg/ml), incubation 1.5 hour (32 ± 1°C)
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Corneal opacity (as value of illuminance) was measured quantitatively with the aid of an opacitometer (Opacitometer, Kit OP3,0 – Duratec, Analysertechnik – Germany).
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of UV/VIS spectrophotometry (OD490)
SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS) = mean opacity value + (15 x mean permeability OD490 value)

- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: Appearance of corneas was observed before and after application of the test item, negative and positive control (see Table 2 and 3). No macroscopic damage was observed on corneas before application. Corneal opacity was observed on the corneas treated by the positive control and the test item. The corneas treated by negative control were without macroscopic damage.
ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: The value of opacity for the negative control (0.9% NaCl) obtained during the study was 2.61 and value of permeability was 0.013. The values obtained during this study did not exceed upper limits(opacity: 2.68; permeability: 0.0448), so the study is considered acceptable.
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: The value of IVIS for the positive control (20% imidazole in 0.9% NaCl) obtained during the study was 71.95. This value is within the acceptance limit (> 68.54 and < 90.78), so the study is considered acceptable. - Interpretation of results:
- other: no prediction can be made
- Conclusions:
- In the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay, the IVIS value for 1,3 Propene Sultone is 33.50 (> 3 and ≤ 55), therefore the classification according to UN GHS criteria for eye irritation or serious eye damage is: no prediction can be made.
- Executive summary:
In the in vitro eye irritation Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay (152-19-5), isolated bovine corneas were exposed to 1,3-Propene sultone (99.92%) in solid form for 4 hours using the open-chamber method. 0.9% sodium chloride was used for the negative control and 20% imidazole in 0.9% sodium chloride was used for the positive control. The corneas were rinsed and then the opacity and permeability of each cornea was recorded.
The positive control gave the appropriate response (IVIS = 71.95). All 3 corneas treated with 1,3-Propene Sultone showed opacity of the tissue. The mean opacity value for the test substance was 33.50. The mean permeability OD490 for the test substance was -0.005. The IVIS for the test substance was 33.50. The IVIS for 1,3-Propenesultone is > 3 and simultaneously ≤ 55, therefore the classification according to UN GHS criteria for eye irritation or serious eye damage is: no prediction can be made.

In an in vitro skin corrosion in the human epidermal model EpiDerm (OECD 431/GLP), reconstructed human epidermis tissue was exposed to 25 mg of 1,3-Propenesultone (99.92%) for 3 and 60 minutes. H2O was used for the negative control and 8N KOH was used for the positive control. After removal of the test substance, the tissues were incubated with MTT for three hours and then extracted with isopropyl alcohol overnight at room temperature with shaking. The OD570 of isopropyl alcohol extracts was measured on a spectrophotometer. Relative cell viability was calculated for each tissue as % of the mean viability of the negative control tissues. The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 [1.776 (3 min) and 1.712 (60 min)]. The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was < 15% [6.8% (60 min)]. Coefficient of variation (CV) was higher than 0.3 in one case but this was an acceptable deviation. The colour of the test substance did not interfere with the endpoint. The test substance is not directly MTT reducing. The average viability of tissues treated by the test item, 1,3-Propenesultone were higher than the threshold values (50 % and 15% respectively): 106.6 % ≥ 50% after 3 minutes exposure and 92.5% ≥ 15% after 60 minutes exposure. The test item should be regarded as non-corrosive.
In an in vitro skin irritation assay in a human epidermal model EpiDerm (OECD 439/GLP), reconstructed human epidermis tissue was exposed to 25 mg of 1,3-Propenesultone (99.92%) for 60±1 minutes ( 25 minutes at room temperature and the remaining 35 minutes at culture conditions). DPBS was used for the negative control and 5% SDS was used for the positive control. After removal of the test substance, tissues were post-incubated for 42±2 hours. After three hours incubation with MTT, samples were extracted with isopropyl alcohol for approximately two hours. The OD570 of isopropyl alcohol extracts was measured on a spectrophotometer. Relative cell viability was calculated for each tissue as % of the mean viability of the negative control tissues. The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (1.776). The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 20% (2.8%). Standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was < 18% (0.1 % for the positive control, 4.0 % for negative control and 2.7 % for the test item). The colour of the test substance did not interfere with the endpoint. The test substance is not directly MTT reducing. The average viability of tissues treated by the test item, 1,3-Propenesultone, was 56±2.734 % of the negative control average value i.e. viability was > 50 %. According to these results, the test substance is non-irritating to skin.
Serious eye damage/eye irritation:
There is one in vitro eye irritation test available.
In the in vitro eye irritation Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay (OECD 437/GLP), isolated bovine corneas were exposed to 1,3-Propenesultone (99.92%) in solid form for 4 hours using the open-chamber method. 0.9% sodium chloride was used for the negative control and 20% imidazole in 0.9% sodium chloride was used for the positive control. The corneas were rinsed and then the opacity and permeability of each cornea was recorded. The positive control gave the appropriate response (IVIS = 71.95). All 3 corneas treated with 1,3-Propene Sultone showed opacity of the tissue. The mean opacity value for the test substance was 33.50. The mean permeability OD490 for the test substance was -0.005. The IVIS for the test substance was 33.50. The IVIS for 1,3-Propene Sultone is > 3 and simultaneously ≤ 55, therefore the classification according to UN GHS criteria for eye irritation or serious eye damage is: no prediction can be made.
An OECD 492 GLP test was considered but the result from that test can only be “Not classified” and the opacity noted with the test substance in all 3 corneas in the OECD 437 test did not indicate that “Not classified” would be the expected conclusion.
According to the ECHA ‘Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Version 6.0, July 2017’:
“c. For Annex VII information requirement, as no in vivo testing is foreseen, a Weight-of-Evidence approach may be needed in order to conclude on the eye hazard potential of the substance. The assessment should take all relevant pieces of information into account. This means that in case where the available in vitro test(s) for serious eye damage/eye irritation does (do) not enable a definitive conclusion on the classification for the eye hazard to be drawn, information obtained e.g. from skin irritation testing should be considered. Thus, in case inconsistent in vitro results for serious eye damage/eye irritation are obtained, the Weight-of-Evidence including information on skin irritation may support the classification for eye irritation (Category 2), as a precautionary principle.”
- 1,3 Propenesultone was not corrosive in the OECD 431/GLP test (1,3-Propenesultone were higher than the threshold values (50 % and 15% respectively): 106.6 % ≥ 50% after 3 minutes exposure and 92.5% ≥ 15% after 60 minutes exposure.)
- 1,3-Propenesultone was not irritating in the OECD 439/GLP test though the result was close to the 50% viability threshold (1,3-Propenesultone was 56±2.734% of the negative control average value)
- The OECD 437/GLP test indicates possible irritation; all 3 corneas treated with 1,3-Propenesultone showed opacity of the tissue (mean opacity value = 33.50 compared to 44.28 for the positive control, 20% Imidazole in 0.9% NaCl).
- The close structural analogue, 1,3-Propanesultone (CAS No. 1120-71-4) is classified by the LR in the ECHA Classification and Labelling Database as Eye Damage 1 (H318).
- No in vivo testing is permitted at the Annex VII tonnage level.
Based on the weight of evidence, this supports the classification for eye irritation (Category 2), as a precautionary principle.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance 1,3-Propenesultone (CAS No. 21806 -61 -1) is not classified for skin irritation/corrosion and is classified as Category 2 for serious eye damage/eye irritation when considering the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC.
