- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
Eyelids were carefully excised. The integrity of the cornea was measured with a drop of 2 % (w/v) sodium fluorescein to the surface of the cornea and then rinsed with isotonic saline after a few seconds. The treated eyes were examined for damage to the cornea. When the fluorescein retention and corneal opacity scores were ≤ 0.5, the eyes were selected for the test. Acceptable eyes were dissected from the skull and pulled from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane firmly with surgical forceps. Enucleated eyes were transferred to an appropriate clamp keeping the cornea vertical. They were then transferred to chambers within the superfusion apparatus ensuring the corneas received sufficient isotonic saline from the saline drip. The temperature of the chambers was at 32.0 ± 1.5 °C.
EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS
Once all eyes were placed in the superfusion apparatus, the eyes were examined again to ensure the eyes had not been damaged by the dissection procedure. Corneal thickness measurements are taken with a depth measuring device at the center of each cornea. After the approval process the eyes were incubated for 45 minutes for equilibrium purposes. Time zero measurements for corneal thickness and opacity were taken to serve as a baseline. The baseline for the fluorescein measurements were taken at dissection.

This study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of the test item. In a prevalidation study performed by Avon Products Inc. and MatTek Corporation, the in vitro eye test using the human cornea model EpiOcular™ and measurement of cell viability by dehydrogenase conversion of MTT into a blue formazan salt have turned out as a sufficiently promising predictor for eye irritancy potential.
- Description of the cell system used, incl. certificate of authenticity and the mycoplasma status of the cell live
The EpiOcular™ tissue consists of normal, human-derived epidermal keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a stratified squamous epithelium similar to that found in the human cornea. It consists of highly organized basal cells which progressively flatten out as the apical surface of the tissue is approached, analogous to the normal in vivo corneal epithelium. The EpiOcular™ tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELL, 10 mm Ø). - Vehicle:

Preparation:
EpiOcular™ tissues were shipped at 2 - 8 °C on medium-supplemented agarose gels in a 24-well plate. On day of receipt of the EpiOcular™ tissues, the equilibration step (15 minutes at room temperature in the 24-well shipping container) started. 1.0 mL of DMEM-medium is aliquoted into the appropriate wells of pre-labeled 6-well plates. According to an expert statement the tissues can be stored over night at 2 - 8 °C after receipt..
Each 24-well shipping container was removed from its plastic bag under sterile conditions and its surface was disinfected by wiping with 70 % isopropanol- or ethanol soaked wipes. The sterile gauze was removed and each tissue was inspected for air bubbles between the agarose gel and insert. Cultures with air bubbles under the inserts greater than 50 % of the insert area were not used. The tissues were carefully removed from the 24-well shipping containers using sterile forceps. The insert was then transferred aseptically into the 6-well plates and pre-incubated at standard culture conditions for one hour in the Assay Medium at 37 °C and the EpiOcular™ tissues were incubated at standard culture conditions overnight (16 to 24 hours).
Experimental performance
After the overnight incubation, the tissues were pre-wetted with 20 μL of Ca2+Mg2+ free-DPBS. The tissues were incubated at standard culture conditions (37 ± 1.5 °C, 5 ± 0.5 % CO2, 95 % RH) for 30 minutes. After the 30 minute Ca2+Mg2+ free-DPBS pre-treatment, the test and control items were tested by applying 50 μL topically on the EpiOcular™ tissues. At the end of the treatment time, the test item was removed by extensively rinsing the tissues with Ca2+Mg2+-free DPBS (brought to room temperature). Three clean beakers containing a minimum of 100 mL each of Ca2+Mg2+ free-DPBS were used per test item. After the washing steps, the remaining liquid was decanted onto the absorbent material followed by the immediate transfer of the tissues to 5 mL of previously warmed Assay Medium (room temperature) in a pre-labelled 12-well plate for 12 minute immersion temperature (post-soak) at room temperature. Subsequently, each insert was removed from the Assay Medium, the medium was decanted off the tissue, and the inserts were blotted on absorbent material, and transferred to the appropriate well of the pre-labelled 6-well plate containing 1 mL of warm Assay Medium. The tissues were incubated for about 120 minutes at 37 ± 1.5 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5 ± 0.5 % CO2 (post-treatment incubation).
- RhCE tissue construct used, including batch number: EpiOcular™ kits and MTT-100 kits (Lot No. 27039)
- Doses of test chemical and control substances used: 50 µL
- Duration and temperature of exposure, post-exposure immersion and post-exposure incubation periods: 30 min exposure at 37 °C; 12 min post-soak immersion at room temperature; 120 min post-exposure at 37 °C
- Indication of controls used for direct MTT-reducers and/or colouring test chemicals: Since the test item did not dye water or isopropanol and did not directly reduced MTT, additional controls are not required.
- Number of tissue replicates used per test chemical and controls: 2
- Wavelength and band pass (if applicable) used for quantifying MTT formazan, and linearity range of measuring device: 570 nm without reference filter using a microplate reader
- Description of the method used to quantify MTT formazan:
At the end of the post-treatment incubation, each insert was removed from the 6-well plate and gently blotted on absorbent material. The tissues were placed into the 24-well plate containing 0.3 mL of MTT solution. Once all the tissues were placed into the 24-well plate, the plate was incubated for 180 minutes at standard culture conditions. Each insert was removed from the 24-well plate after 180 minutes, the bottom of the insert was blotted on absorbent material, and then transferred to a pre-labelled 24-well plate containing 2.0 mL of isopropanol in each designated well so that isopropanol was flowing into the insert on the tissue surface. The plates were sealed with a standard plate sealer, and were stored overnight at 2 - 8 °C in the dark. To extract the MTT, the plates were placed on an orbital plate shaker and shaken for 2 to 3 hours at room temperature. At the end of the extraction period, the tissue was pierced and the liquid within each insert was decanted into the well from which it was taken. The extract solution was mixed and two 200 μL aliquots were transferred to the appropriate wells of a pre-labelled 96-well plate. The OD was determined at 570 nm.
- Description of evaluation criteria used including the justification for the selection of the cut-off point for the prediction model
If the test item-treated tissue viability is > 60% relative to the negative control treated tissue viability, the test item is labeled non-irritant.
If the test item-treated tissue viability is ≤ 60% relative to negative control treated tissue viability, the test item is labeled irritant.

Additional information
Skin irritation
A study according OECD 402 (1987) and Commission Directive 92/69/EEC Method B.3 was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat. A group of 10 animals (5 males and 5 females) was given a single 24-hour, semioccluded dermal application to intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The animals were observed for 14 days after the day of treatment and were then killed for gross pathological examination. No death animals were observed during the study. No signs of systemic toxicity or dermal irritation were noted. All animals showed an expected gain in bodyweight during the study period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of the surviving animals. The acute dermal LD50 of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. No skin irritaion was observed during the study. Therefore, no new skin irritation study was conducted.
Eye irritation
OECD 438
This ex vivo study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of the test item by means of the Isolated Chicken Eye Test according to OECD 438 and GLP. The study was performed to evaluate the possible corrosivity or severe irritancy potential of the test item as measured by its ability to induce toxicity in an enucleated chicken eye. 0.03 mL of the test item were applied onto the cornea of each of three enucleated eyes. A further three enucleated eyes were treated with positive control item (Benzalkonium chloride). A further two enucleated eyes were treated withSodium chloridefor control purposes. Treatment with the test item showed inconclusive results with regard to eye irritation. In conclusion, the substance is not to be classified as severely eye damaging (Cat. 1).
