Description of key information

Skin corrosion/irritation:

Two in vitro and one in vivo studies are available for the submission substance:

Skin corrosion in vitro

The potential of the test material to cause skin corrosivity was investigated in an RhE model (EPI-200SCT (MatTek)) according to OECD 431. Mean relative viabilities for the cultures exposed to the test material were 98.3% and 99.0% following exposure for 3 minutes and 60 minutes, respectively. The test item is not considered to be corrosive to skin on the basis of this study.

 

Skin irritation in vitro:

The potential of the test material to cause skin irritation was investigated in an RhE model (EPI-200SCT (MatTek)) according to OECD 439. The mean relative viability for the culture exposed to the test material was 80.6%. The test item is not considered to be a skin irritant on the basis of this study.

Skin corrosion/irritation in vivo:

The study was performed to assess the acute dermal irritation/corrosion of test item in rabbits in accordance with OECD 404. Individual scores of erythema/eschar and oedemas were all 0 for three treated sites at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. The mean scores of erythema/eschar and oedemas at 24, 48 and 72 hours were all 0 for three test sites after patch removal.

The test item was considered to not be irritating to skins in rabbits.

 

Eye irritation:

One in vitro and on in vivo studies are availabke.

Eye irritation in vitro

The potential of the test material to cause eye irritation was investigated in an RhCE model (EpiOcular) (MatTek)) according to OECD 492. The mean relative viability for the culture exposed to the test material was 74.4%. The mean viability of the cultures exposed to the test material was >60%; therefore classification for eye irritation is not required.

Eye irritation in vivo:

The study was performed to assess the acute eye irritation/corrosion of test item in rabbits in accordance with OECD 405. Three male rabbits were used for the study. Each animal was administered about 0.1 mL of the test item into right eye. Untreated left eye served as the control.

Individual and mean scores of Cornea Opacity, Iris, Conjunctival Redness and Chemosis were all 0 for three treated eyes at approximately 24, 48, 72 hours after administration. Therefore, the test item was considered to not be irritating to eye in rabbits.

Twenty microliters of PBS (-) was added onto each tissue surface at 1 minute interval. Two tissues were treated at once. Each plate was incubated until 30 ± 2 minutes was completed for the first exposed tissue in each plate.
Fifty microliters of the control substances and the test substance were applied onto each tissue surface at 1 minute interval. Two tissues were treated at once. Each plate was incubated until 30 ± 2 minutes was completed for the first exposed tissue in each plate.
Rinsing and post-incubation:
After the incubation, each tissue insert was completely submerged three times about 100 mL of PBS (-). Two tissues were treated at once. Rinsing was repeated twice further. PBS (-) was removed from the tissue surface.

Prior to the main test, the test material was assessed for the potential to directly reduce MTT. The results of this study were negative; therefore an MTT interference test was not conducted. In the main test, 50 µL of the test material, negative control (distilled water) or positive control (methyl acetate) were applied to duplicate cultures for 30 minutes. After a post-exposure period of 2 hours, cell viability was assessed using MTT reduction. The mean relative viability for the culture exposed to the test material was 74.4%. The mean viability of the cultures exposed to the test material was >60%; therefore classification for eye irritation is not required.

Three treated eyes showed no abnormal symptoms in cornea, iris and conjunctivae and there were no any other lesions in three treated eyes at 1 hour and 24, 48, 72 hours after administration
There was no any retention of fluorescein for three treated eyes and three control eyes approximately 24 hours prior to dosing and at approximately 24 hours after administration.
Other effects:

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
The test item was considered to not be irritating to eye in rabbits.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute eye irritation/corrosion of test item in rabbits in accordance with OECD 405.

Three male rabbits were used for the study. Each animal was administered about 0.1 mL of the test item into right eye. Untreated left eye served as the control.

No adverse systemic effects were observed in any animals during the study.

Three treated eyes showed no abnormal symptoms in cornea, iris and conjunctivae and there were no any other lesions in three treated eyes at 1 hour and 24, 48, 72 hours after administration

There was no any retention of fluorescein for three treated eyes and three control eyes approximately 24 hours prior to dosing and at approximately 24 hours after administration.

Individual and mean scores of Cornea Opacity, Iris, Conjunctival Redness and Chemosis were all 0 for three treated eyes at approximately 24, 48, 72 hours after administration.

The body weights of all animals showed growth trends during the observation periods

The test item was considered to not be irritating to eye in rabbits.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin corrosion in vitro: OECD 431, not corrosive

Skin irritation in vitro: OECD 439, not irritating

Skin irritation in vivo: OECD 404, mean scores of erythema/eschar and oedemas at 24, 48 and 72 hours were all 0 for three test sites after patch removal.

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, section 3.2.2 and Table 3.2.2, this substance should not be classified for this endpoint.

 

Eye irritation in vitro: OECD 492: not irritating 

Eye irritation in vivo: OECD 405, mean scores of Cornea Opacity, Iris, Conjunctival Redness and Chemosis were all 0 for three treated eyes at approximately 24, 48, 72 hours after administration.

 

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, section 3.3.2 and table 3.3.1, this substance should not be classified for this endpoint.
