Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS : The eyes were checked for unacceptable defects, such as opacity, scratches, pigmentation and neovascularization by removing them from the physiological saline and holding them in the light. Those exhibiting defects were discarded.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS : Opacity determinations were performed on each of the corneas using an opacitometer (BASF-OP3.0, BASF, Ludwigshafen, Germany). The opacity of each cornea was read against a cMEM filled chamber, and the initial opacity reading thus determined was recorded. Corneas that had an initial opacity reading higher than 7 were not used.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES : 3

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED : Physiological saline

SOLVENT CONTROL USED (if applicable) : Not applicable

POSITIVE CONTROL USED : Ethaol

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME : 750 uL, 10 minutes

TREATMENT METHOD: Open chamber

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: yes, 120 minutes

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: Not specified

- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: 120 minutes

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: The opacity of a cornea was measured by the diminution of light passing through the cornea. The light was measured as illuminance (I = luminous flux per area, unit: lux) by a light meter. The change in opacity for each individual cornea (including the negative control) was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final post-treatment reading. The corrected opacity for each treated cornea with the test item or positive control was calculated by subtracting the average change in opacity of the negative control corneas from the change in opacity of each test item or positive control treated cornea. The mean opacity value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of the treated corneas for each treatment group.
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of UV/VIS spectrophotometry microtiter plate reader (OD490)

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)

DECISION CRITERIA:The decision criteria in the OECD guideline were followed.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of the MTDID 44430 was evaluated in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay. The study was conducted according to OECD 437 in compliance with OECD GLP regulations. Corneas (n=3) were exposed to 750 uL of the test article, positive control (ethanol) or negative control (physiological saline) for 10 minutes. The corneas were then washed with MEM and phenol red and cMEM and incubated in fresh medium for 120 minutes. Following incubation, corneal opacity measurements were taken and permeability was evaluated with sodium fluorescein. The positive and negative controls performed as expected, indicating that the test system is valid. The corneas treated with MTDID 44430 showed opacity values ranging from -1.5 to -0.5 and permeability values ranging from -0.005 to 0.007. The corneas were clear after the 10 minute exposure to the test article. No pH effect of the test article was observed on the rinsing medium The in vitro irritancy scores (IVIS) ranged from -1.6 to -0.4, resulting in a mean IVIS of -1.2. Based on the results of the study (IVIS = -1.2), MTDID 44430 is not an ocular irritant.
