- Executive summary:
In compliance with GLP criteria and according to OECD guideline 437 as well as EU guideline No 1152/2010: B.47, this in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of Diphenyl methylphosphonate 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) solution in saline (0.9 % (w/v) NaCl in deionised water) of the test item Diphenyl methylphosphonate, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to corneae and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. The posterior chamber contained MEM medium supplemented with sodium bicarbonate and L-glutamine and 1 % fetal calf serum (FCS) (complete medium = cMEM). After the incubation phase the test item, the positive, and the negative controls were each rinsed from the corneae and opacity was measured again (t240).
After the opacity measurements, permeability of the corneae was determined by measuring spectrophotometrically the transfer of fluorescein after incubation in a horizontal position for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C.
With the negative control (saline) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed.
The positive control (10 % (w/v) Benzalkonium chloride in saline) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae corresponding to a classification as corrosive / severe irritant to the eye (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).
Relative to the negative control, the test item Diphenyl methylphosphonate did not cause a relevant increase of the corneal opacity or permeability. The calculated mean in vitro irritation score was 6.50. According to OECD 437 the test item is classified as not corrosive / not severe irritant to the eye.
In conclusion, according to the current study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item Diphenyl methylphosphonate is not corrosive / not severe irritant to the eye (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).

Evaluation of Results
Opacity
The change of opacity value of each treated cornea or positive and negative control corneae was 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 was calculated and this value was 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 was calculated by subtracting the average negative control cornea value from the original permeability value for each cornea.
In Vitro Irritation Score Calculation
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro irritation score of the negative control:
In vitro Irritation Score = opacity value + (15 * OD490 value)
The following formula was used to determine the in vitro irritation score of the positive control and the test item:
In vitro Irritation Score = (opacity value - opacity value mean negative control) + (15 * corrected OD490 value)
The in vitro irritation score was calculated for each individual treatment and positive control cornea. The mean in vitro irritation score irritation value of each treated group was calculated from the individual in vitro irritation score values.
Depending on the score obtained, the test item was classified into the following category according to OECD guideline 437:
In vitro Irritation Score | In vitro Irritation Scale(according to OECD 437) |
≥ 55.1 | Corrosive/ Severe irritant CLP/EPA/GHS(Cat 1) |
Data Recording
The data generated were recorded in the raw data file. The results were presented in tabular form, including experimental groups with the test item, negative, and positive controls. The data of permeability measurement were registered and transferred into an Excel sheet.

Additional information
Skin irritation
Diphenyl methylphosphonate was tested in an in vivo study whereby 500 µL was applied semi-occlusively to the inner surface of the ear of New Zealand white rabbits for 8 or 24 hours (Thyssen, 1979). For each duration 2 animals were used. The other ear served as control. After 8 and 24 hours and subsequent washing with soap and water, no signs of irritation were noticeable within the observation period of 7 days.
The test item was predicted negative for skin irritation by SciQSAR model (Danish QSAR database), which is implemented in the OECD QSAR toolbox v4.5. The prediction falls into the applicability domain of this model.
Eye irritation
In compliance with GLP criteria and according to OECD guideline 437 as well as Commission Regulation (EU) guideline No. 1152/2010: B.47, this in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of Diphenyl methylphosphonate by means of the BCOP assay using fresh bovine corneae.
After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneae (t 0), the 20 % (w/v) solution in saline (0.9 % (w/v) NaCl in deionised water) of the test item Diphenyl methylphosphonate, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to corneae and incubated for 240 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. The posterior chamber contained MEM medium supplemented with sodium bicarbonate and L-glutamine and 1 % fetal calf serum (FCS) (complete medium = cMEM). After the incubation phase the test item, the positive, and the negative controls were each rinsed from the corneae and opacity was measured again (t 240).
After the opacity measurements, permeability of the corneae was determined by measuring spectrophotometrically the transfer of fluorescein after incubation in a horizontal position for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. With the negative control (saline) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed. The positive control (10 % (w/v) Benzalkonium chloride in saline) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae corresponding to a classification as corrosive / severe irritant to the eye (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).
Relative to the negative control, the test item Diphenyl methylphosphonate did not cause a relevant increase of the corneal opacity or permeability. The calculated mean in vitro irritation score was 6.50. According to OECD 437 the test item is classified as not corrosive / not severe irritant to the eye.
In conclusion, according to the current study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item Diphenyl methylphosphonate is not corrosive / not severe irritant to the eye (CLP/EPA/GHS (Cat 1)).
In an in vivo eye irritation study, the test item ( ca. 100 µL, undiluted) was applied into the conjunctival sac of New Zealand White rabbits (Thyssen, 1979). The other eye served as control. No signs of irritation were noticeable within the observation period of 7 days.
