Materials and methods

- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The SkinEthic HCE model assesses the irritation potential of a test item by examining the cytotoxic effects of the test item after a defined exposure
period and recovery time.
The endpoint of the HCE assay is the estimation of cell viability by assaying the reduction of MTT by mitochondrial enzymes. Irritant materials are
identified by their ability to reduce cell viability below a threshold of 50% of the negative control value. - GLP compliance:

EC-903 -161 -3
Non-viable controls
The mean absorbance value of the three replicate non-viable tissues dosed with EC-903-161-3 was 0.221 ± 0.041. The mean absorbance value of the three replicate undosed non-viable tissues was 0.029 ± 0.005. Therefore, the absorbance value for the effect of the unremoved test item was 0.192. This value was subtracted from the absorbance value of the viable tissues dosed with EC-903-161-3.
Viable controls
The results were similar for the three viable HCE units dosed with EC-903-161-3. Exposure to EC-903-161-3 resulted in a mean HCE viability of 107.09% ± 21.20% of the negative control value.
Negative Control
The results were similar for the three viable HCE tissues dosed with the negative control. Exposure to Dulbecco’s PBS resulted in a mean HCE viability of 100.00% ± 16.12%.
Positive Control
The results were similar for the three viable HCE tissues dosed with the positive control. Exposure to Triton X-100 solution (0.2%, w/v) resulted in a mean HCE viability of 5.19% ± 2.45%.
Histology Results
Microscopic analysis of cross sections of HCE®tissues treated with EC-903-161-3, and PBS showed little or no difference in tissue integrity for the two treatments. It was not possible to prepare stained cross sections for the positive control. Therefore, the study conclusion is based solely on the tissue viability results.

- Executive summary:
Evaluation of ocular irritation is part of the Human Health Hazard Assessment required for registration of a chemical. In this study, the irritation potential of EC-903-161-3 was assessed using the HCE in vitro ocular irritation test.
Eye irritation potential was assessed by applying EC-903-161-3 (30 µL) to the exposed surface of three viable HCE tissues for 60 min. The surface area of the HCE was 0.5 cm2, therefore the application rate was 60 µL/cm2. After the 60 min exposure period, the test item was washed from the surface of the HCE using Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 25 mL) and cotton swabs. The HCE tissues were then incubated for a recovery period of 16 h in a humidified incubator set to maintain temperature and CO2levels of 37°C and 5%, respectively. Following incubation, the HCE tissues were transferred to maintenance medium containing MTT (0.5 mg/mL) and returned to the incubator for3 h. The HCE tissues were then transferred to isopropanol in order to extract the formazan. After extraction (90 min), the formazan production (cell viability) was assessed by measuring the optical density of the extracts at a wavelength of 550 nm. Three replicates of the positive control, Triton X-100 solution (0.2%, w/v), and the negative control, PBS, were tested in parallel to demonstrate the efficacy of the assay. The viability of each individual HCE tissue was calculated as a percentage of the mean negative control viability (defined as 100%). Due to the intrinsic ability of EC-903-161-3 to reduce MTT to formazan (demonstrated under Charles River Study No. 791169) it was necessary to employ non-viable control tissues to account for the effect of the non-specific reduction.
In addition to the tissues used for the viability assessment, one HCE tissue was dosed for each treatment as above and prepared for histological analysis. Cross-sections of each tissue were formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded and stained by the standard haematoxylin-eosin method. The tissues were then examined microscopically for tissue damage.
Exposure to EC-903-161-3 resulted in a mean HCE viability of 107.09 ± 21.20% of the negative control value. Exposure to the positive control, Triton X-100 (0.2%, w/v), resulted in a mean HCE viability of 5.19 ± 2.45% of the negative control value. Cell viability values below a threshold of 50% of the negative control viability indicate that the test item is irritant.
Microscopic analysis of cross sections of HCE tissues treated with EC-903-161-3, and PBS showed little or no difference in tissue integrity for the two treatments. It was not possible to prepare stained cross sections for the positive control. Therefore, the study conclusion is based solely on the tissue viability results.
In conclusion, EC-903-161-3 was demonstrated to be non-irritant to eyes when tested in vitro using the HCE reconstructed human corneal model.
