Test animals / tissue source

Species:

cattle

Strain:

not specified

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

Eyes from adult cattle (typically 12 to 60 months old) were obtained from a local abattoir as a by-product from freshly slaughtered animals. The eyes were excised by an abattoir employee after slaughter, and were placed in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) supplemented with antibiotics (penicillin at 100 IU/mL and streptomycin at 100 µg/mL). They were transported to the test facility over ice packs on the same day of slaughter. The corneas were prepared
immediately on arrival.

Test system

Vehicle:

other: 20% w/v solution in 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution

Controls:

yes, concurrent vehicle

yes, concurrent positive control

yes, concurrent negative control

Amount / concentration applied:

the test item was ground to a powder and prepared as a 20% w/v solution in 0.9% w/v sodium chloride solution. 0.75 mL of the test item preparation or control items were applied to the appropriate corneas.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Each cornea holder was incubated, anterior chamber uppermost, at 32 ± 1 ºC for 240 minutes. At the end of the exposure period the test item and control items were removed from the anterior chamber and the cornea was rinsed three times with fresh complete MEM containing phenol red before a final rinse with complete MEM without phenol red. The anterior chamber was refilled with fresh complete MEM without phenol red.
A post-treatment opacity reading was taken and each cornea was visually observed.
Following the opacity measurement the permeability of the corneas to sodium fluorescein was evaluated. The medium from the anterior chamber was removed and replaced with 1 mL of sodium fluorescein solution (5 mg/mL). The dosing holes were plugged and the holders incubated, anterior chamber uppermost, at 32 ± 1 ºC for 90 minutes.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

Three corneas with opacity values close to the median value of all corneas were allocated to the negative control. Three corneas were also allocated to the test item and three corneas to the positive control item.

Details on study design:

All eyes were macroscopically examined before and after dissection. Only corneas free of damage were used.

The cornea from each selected eye was removed leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera to facilitate handling. The iris and lens were peeled away from the cornea. The isolated corneas were immersed in a dish containing HBSS until they were mounted in Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) holders.

Results and discussion

In vitro

Results

Irritation parameter:

in vitro irritation score

Run / experiment:

240 minutes incubation

Value:

0.2

Vehicle controls validity:

not applicable

Negative controls validity:

valid

Remarks:

In Vitro Irritancy Score: 1.8

Positive controls validity:

valid

Remarks:

In Vitro Irritancy Score: 68.8

Remarks on result:

no indication of irritation

Other effects / acceptance of results:

The positive control In Vitro Irritancy Score was within the range of 73.8 – 103.6. The positive control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

The negative control gave opacity of ≤4.7 and permeability ≤0.085. The negative control acceptance criterion was therefore satisfied.

The corneas treated with the test item were clear post treatment.

The corneas treated with the negative control item were clear post treatment.

The corneas treated with the positive control item were cloudy post treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No category. Not requiring classification to UN GHS or EU CLP.

Executive summary:

In a Klimisch 1 GLP study from Warren (2016) the potential of the test item to induce serious eye damage and to identify test items not requiring classification for eye irritation or serious eye damage using the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) test method was investigated. The test item's In Vitro Irritancy Score was < 3. The test item was not considered to induce serious eye damage and is not requiring classification to UN GHS or EU CLP.
