Executive summary:

The ocular irritation and corrosion potential of MTDID 47403 was evaluated in the Bovine Corneal Opacity Permeability (BCOP) test. The test method was based on OECD 437 and was performed in compliance with OECD GLP. The bovine eyes were examined prior to use on the day of dosing. Any eye with a cornea exhibiting evidence of vascularization, pigmentation, opacity or scratches was discarded. Corneas from eyes that were free of defects were dissected from the surrounding tissues. A 2-3 mm rim of sclera was left attached to each cornea. The corneas were then placed in a container of fresh HBSS. The dissected corneas were mounted in holders and placed in chambers filled with MEM solution. The entire holder was incubated at 32°C for at least 1 hour but no longer than 2. Corneas (3/group) were treated with 0.75 mL of MTDID 47403 for 10 minutes at 32°C. A positive control (Ethanol) and a negative control (MEM solution), were tested in parallel with the test material. At the end of the exposure period, the corneas were rinsed with a MEM solution containing phenol red; a final rinse was made with MEM without phenol red. Opacity was evaluated using the OP-KIT following the 10 minute exposure. Following opacity readings, the cell culture medium was replaced with 1.0 ml of 0.4% sodium fluorescein solution in Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and incubated for approximately 90 minutes at 32°C. Following the 90-minute sodium fluorescein exposure, permeability was measured as the optical density at 490 nm by a spectrophotometer. The In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS) for the test material, vehicle control, and positive control was calculated by adding the corrected mean opacity score to fifteen times the corrected mean optical density; the IVIS for negative control was performed by adding the mean opacity score to fifteen times the mean optical density. Based on the IVIS score, the test article was classified according to the prediction model described in DB-ALM Protocol No. 127, a modification of the prediction model suggested by Gautheron, et al. (1994). The mean IVIS for the test article was 3.03. The 10 minute mean corrected opacity score was 3.00 and the corrected mean optical density score was 00.002. Controls performed as expected. Based on the results of the study (IVIS=3.03), MTDID 47403 is considered non-irritating in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Test (BCOP).
