Test guideline

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

other: NEUTRAL RED RELEASE METHOD

Principles of method if other than guideline:

PREDISAFE is a cell kit based on the use of a rabbit fibroblastic tell line (SIRC line)6 using cytotoxicity as endpoint. The test product is applied, for a short time, on the confluent monolayer of cells already preloaded with neutral red. Then, the variation in the viability between control cells and treated tells is measured according to the neutral red release (NRR) assay described by Borenfreund et al. (1984)
Different concentrations of the test product are used in the assay in order to determine the
amount inducing a 50% réduction in the NRR (IC50, inhibition concentration 50).
An in vitro/in vivo correlation matrix between the IC50 determined in the PREDISAFE assay
and the Draize irritation data, allows the assessment of the ocular tolerance of the test product (Guyomard et al., 1994)

IUPAC Name:

hydrogenated decyl olive oil esters

Specific details on test material used for the study:

Tested: at the use concentration of 100% and at 3 lowers (10%, 30% and 50%) prepared from the use concentration (all dilutions were prepared in lipophilic solvent).

Test animals / tissue source

Species:

rabbit

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

Confluent monolayer fibroblast cells isolated from rabbit cornea, and seeded in 24-well plates. Cells were receipt in an appropriate culture medium (called
shipping medium) to limit cellular metabolism during shipping.

Test system

Vehicle:

other: paraffin oil

Controls:

yes, concurrent vehicle

yes, concurrent positive control

yes, concurrent negative control

Amount / concentration applied:

4 concentrations were tested : 100% and at 3 lowers (10%, 30% and 50%)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

1 minute

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

24-well plate

Details on study design:

Four hundred microlitres of fresh culture medium containing neutral red was added into each well
Fibroblasts were then incubated for 3 hours at 37°C in absence of CO2.
Following neutral red incorporation, cells were rinsed and test product was applied for 1 minute precisely.
In parallel, quality controls (the three reference products) and control (cells treated with the solvent hydrophilic and/or lipophilic) were performed.

After the short contact period, test product was removed and the cells were washed several times with the rinsing medium.
Five hundred microlitres of the lysis solution were added into each well and allowed shaking for few minutes.
After making the blank correction with the lysis solution, optical density was measured at 540 mn using a microplate reader.
