Evaluation of Test Results for BCOP:
The following prediction models were used to evaluate the ocular irritancy potential as described by Sina et al. (1995)2 for non-regulatory purposes or as described in OECD TG 437 (2017).
The prediction model according to Sina et. al based on a wide range of materials (note: While this classification system provides a good initial guide to interpretation of these in vitro data, these specific ranges may not be applicable to all classes of materials or other exposure times. Whenever possible, results should be compared to “benchmark” materials tested under similar exposure conditions.):
In Vitro Score |
Sina et al Prediction |
≤ 25 | Mild irritant |
> 25; ≤ 55 | Moderate irritant |
> 55 | Severe irritant |
Prediction model outlined in OECD TG 437:
In Vitro Irritation Score (IVIS) | UN GHS |
≤3 | No Category |
>3; ≤55 | No prediction can be made* |
>55 | Category 1 |
* - Additional testing would be required for a definitive classification of ocular irritation potential according to GHS
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The test article produced an In Vitro Score of 54.7. According to the prediction model presented by Sina et al. (1995), the test article would be considered a moderate irritant (i.e., In Vitro Score greater than 25 and less than 55). According to the prediction model presented in OECD TG 437, a prediction for eye irritation potential could not be determined, and additional testing would be warranted for definitive classification of eye irritation potential for labeling purposes. To understand the depth of injury to the cornea, additional histology was performed on treated corneas. According to the histological evaluation and the model by Jester and Maurer (2002), these findings would be predictive of a high moderate to severe eye irritation potential.
- Executive summary:
The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay (BCOP) was used to assess the potential ocular irritancy of the test article to isolated bovine corneas. Bovine corneas, obtained as a byproduct from freshly slaughtered animals, were mounted in special holders and exposed to the test article. An In Vitro Score was determined for the test article based on the induction of opacity and permeability (to fluorescein) in the isolated bovine corneas. The methods and procedures used in this assay were consistent with OECD Test Guideline 437: Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test Method for Identifying i) Chemicals Inducing Serious Eye Damage and ii) Chemicals Not Requiring Classification for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage (2017)1.
According to the prediction model presented in OECD TG 437, a prediction for eye irritation potential could not be determined, and additional testing would be warranted for definitive classification of eye irritation potential for labeling purposes.
After the BCOP assay, the corneas were fixed in formalin and processed for histological evaluation by Alizée Pathology, Inc. (Thurmont, MD). An evaluation of the histological changes was performed by John W. Harbell, Ph.D., (JHarbell Consulting, LLC, Dallas, TX) to assess the depth and degree of injury.
Histology:
The epithelium of corneas treated with CITRONELLYL OXYACETALDEHYDE showed all layers to the present but probably not viable at the time of fixation. The nuclei showed loss of basophilic components leading to a foamy appearance. The stroma was thicker than the negative control treated corneas. The stroma directly beneath the anterior limiting lamina showed extensive stromal swelling. There was a marked increase in the frequency of keratocytes with hyperchromic (pyknotic) nuclei. The stroma at mid-depth showed marked collagen matrix swelling and a similar increase in keratocytes with nuclear pyknosis. The lower stroma showed an extension of the stromal swelling extending from the mid-stroma. There was a moderate increase in the frequency of keratocytes with nuclear pyknosis. Thus it was not possible to evaluate endothelial function based on deep stromal swelling. The Descemet's Membrane was prominent. The endothelium was physically present and normal in appearance in the majority of fields. Using the prediction model developed by Maurer and Jester, a range of high moderate to severe eye irritation potential was assigned to the test article. The test article produced clear histological changes in the epithelial and stromal layers of the corneas, and with support of the BCOP results, these findings emphasize that the test article has at least a moderate eye irritation potential. A hallmark of a severe ocular injury would be damage extending from the source of exposure (i.e., epithelium), through the stromal layers, and ultimately affecting the endothelium. The endothelium was intact for the corneas treated with this test article, which is one aspect suggestive that the injury may not be severe.
