Conclusions:

This in vitro study was performed to assess the corneal irritation and damage potential of D­ Panthenyltriacetate by means of the BCOP assay using fresh bovine corneae.
After a first opacity measurement of the fresh bovine corneae (to), the neat test item D­ Panthenyltriacetate, the positive, and the negative controls were applied to corneae and incubated for 10 minutes at 32 ± 2 °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 (t10) . Further, the corneae were incubated for another 120 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in complete medium, and opacity was measured a third time (t130).
After the opacity measurements permeability of the corneae was determined while application of 1 ml of a fluorescein solution for 90 minutes at 32 ± 2 °C in a horizontal position. The liquid coming out was measured spectrophotometrically.

With the negative control (0.9% NaCl solution) neither an increase of opacity nor permeability of the corneae could be observed.

The positive control (2-Ethoxyethanol) showed clear opacity and distinctive permeability of the corneae and therefore, is classified as severe eye irritant.

The test item D-Panthenyltriacetate did not cause any opacity or permeability of the corneae compared with the results of the negative control. The calculated mean in vitro score was 0.16 and therefore, the test item was classified as non eye irritant.

In conclusion, it can be stated that in this study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item D-Panthenyltriacetate is not considered to be an eye irritant.
