Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: MatTek Corporation Epiocular ia vitro toxicity testing systern.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
"MatTek's patented Epiocular comeal Model consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a stratified, squarnous epithelium similm to that found in the cornsa. The epidermal cells, which are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts using serum free medium, differentiate to form a multilayered structure which closely parallelsthecornealepithelium..."This system"...providesapredictive,morphologically relevant in vitro means to assess ocular irritancy."
EpiOcular, when used with the recommended cell metabolism assay, can quickly provide toxicological profiles. The procedure utilizes a water-soluble, yellow, tetrazolium salt (MTT {3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yll-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide])" which is reduced by succinate dehydrogenase in the mitochondria of viable cells to a purple, insoluble formazan derivative.Substances which damage this mitochondrial enzyme inhibit the reduction of the tehazolium salt.The amount of MTT reduced by a culture is therefore proportional to the number of viable cells
GLP compliance:
yes

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
human

Test system

Vehicle:
water
Controls:
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
The Sponsor requested the test article's irritation potential at l00%. The test article, at 100%, is water soluble and has a specific Savity greater than 0.95 g/ml. Therefore, as per MatTek's protocolo the test article was diluted to 20% in distilled watsr. After the appropriate tissue preparation, 100 microliters of the test article and the negative control (distilled water) were added to the Millicells containing the Epi0cular samples.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Total time of 4 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Six
Details on study design:
The six (6) well plates containing the dosed EpiOcular samples were then incubated at 37C, five (5)% carbon dioxide and > 90% humidity. After the appropriate exposure period, each insert was individually removed from its plate and rinsed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) to remove any residual material. Each was then rinsed a second and third time

Any other information on results incl. tables

A Molecular Devices SpectraMax M5 Microplate Reader was used to determine the absorbance of each extract at 570nm. With the absorbance of the negative control (distilled water) defined as 100%, the percent absorbencies of the test article were determined. The

percentages listed below directly correlate with the cell metabolism in the EpiOcular samples.

(20% - 4 hrs.) - % viability = 39, % inhibition = 61

(20% - 1 hr.) - % viability = 61, % inhibition = 39

(20% - 20 mins.) - % viability = 75, % inhibition = 25

When possible, using a semilog scalg the percent viabilities for the article were plotted on the linear y axis versus the dosing time on the log x axis. By interpolation, the time at which the percent viability would be 50% was determined (ET-50).

As a general guideline (provided by MatTek) the following equation can be used to estimate the rabbit Draize eye score:

Draize : 4.7 4 + 101.7/(ET-50)^0.5

Based on the literature (Kay, J.H. and Calan&a J.C., "lnterpretation of eye irritation tests,"J Soc. Cosmetic Chem., 13, 281-289 (1962)), the ocular initancy estimated potential has been categorized by MatTek into the following groups, based on the Draize score:

Under the conditions of this test, the Colaliquid DC-5 100% Active test article, at 20%, elicited in vitro results which indicate that its ET-50 is 122.1 minutes. Therefore, at 100%, the test article's estimated Draize ocular iritation score is approximately 4.5 with a "minimally irritating" irritancy classification.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, the results indicate that the Colaliquid DC-5 100% Active test article, at 100%, has a non-irritating/minimally irritating classification.
