- Time after start of exposure: 10 minutes
SCORING SYSTEM:
The In Vitro Irritancy Score was calculated as follows: mean opacity value + (15*OD492 value)
- Prediction model: IVIS≤3 = "No category. Not requiring classification to UN GHS or EU CLP", IVIS >3; ≤55 = "No prediction of eye irritation can be made", IVIS >55 = "Category 1. UN GHS or EU CLP Causes serious eye damage".
- The change in opacity for each cornea was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. This value was corrected by subtracting the average change in opacity for the negative control. The average is used to calculate the IVIS.
- The corrected OD492 was calculated by substracting the OD492 of the negative control from the OD492 value of each treated cornea. The average is used to calculate the IVIS.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
- Opacity: Light transmision measured quantitatively with the aid of an opacitometer
- Permeability: After incubation of the cornea with sodium fluorescein for 90 minutes (anterior chamber), the concentration of this substance in the medium of the posterior chamber was determined using the Anthos 2001 microplate reader.
Results and discussion
In vivo
- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- - IVIS test item: 8.6
- IVIS negative control: 0.9
- IVIS positive control: 37.0 - Other effects:
- The corneas treated with test item were clear post treatment and cloudy post incubation. Corneas treated with negative control item were clear post treatment and incubation. Corneas of the positive control were cloudy post treatment and post-incubation.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The positive control IVIS score was within the range of 27.8 to 51.0. The negative control gave opacity of ≤4.7 and permeability ≤0.080. Both the positive and negative control acceptance criteria were therefore satisfied.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: inconclusive
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the IVIS score for Cymbopogon flexuosus was determined to be 8.6. Based on this result, the study is considered inconclusive and no prediction of eye irritation or corrosion can be made.
- Executive summary:
An in vitro Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay was performed with Cymbopogon flexuosus according to OECD guideline 437 and under GLP conditions. Bovine cornea were acquired on day of slaughter from a local abattoir, prepared and treated within 24 hours with the test substance, positive or negative control substance. In Vitro Irritancy Scores (IVIS) were calculated based on the measured opacity and permeability of the cornea after a 10 minutes exposure.
Under the conditions of this study, the IVIS score for Cymbopogon flexuosus was determined to be 8.6 which is above the threshold of 3 that indicates that the substance is not irritating. The score is also not above 55, representing the score that indicates serious eye damage. Therefore, the study result is considered inconclusive and no prediction of eye irritation or corrosion potential of Cymbopogon flexuoses can be made.
