- Contamination: sterile

NUMBER OF REPLICATE TISSUES: In each time interval three tissues were used per test item, three tissues for the positive control and three tissues for negative control.

CONTROL TISSUES USED IN CASE OF MTT DIRECT INTERFERENCE
- killed tissues
- N. of replicates : two killed tissues were treated with 25 mg of the test item (KT) and two killed tissues were left untreated as a control (KU)
- Method of calculation used: Non-specific reduction of MTT (NSMTT) was calculated relative to the negative control of living tissues (NK) according to the following formula: NSMTT [%] = [(ODKT - ODKU)/ODNK] * 100
If the test item is classified as non-irritant and if non-specific MTT reduction is ≤ 30% relative to the negative control of living epidermis, the true MTT metabolic conversion (TODTT) of the test item treated living tissues TM was corrected according to the following formula: TODTT = ODTM – (ODKT – ODKU)
If non-specific MTT reduction is > 30% relative to the negative control of living epidermis, the test item is considered as incompatible with the test method.

To check the colouring potential of the test item 25 mg of the test item were mixed per 300 μL aqua dest. and per 300 μL isopropanol each in a transparent recipient and incubated at 37 ± 1°C for 60 min. If the test item is classified as non-irritant and colouring is detected by unaided eye-assessment, and the chemical in water and/or isopropanol absorbs light in the range of 570 ± 30 nm, the test item was checked for its tissue-colouring potential.

Executive summary:

In an in vitro skin irritation assay in a human epidermal model EpiDerm (183804), reconstructed human epidermis tissue was exposed to 25 mg of 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (99.29%) for 60±1 minutes (35 minutes at 37±1°C and 25 minutes at room temperature). PBS was used for the negative control and 5% SDS was used for the positive control. After removal of the test substance, tissues were post-incubated for 42±2 hours. After removal of the test substance, tissues were incubated with MTT for 3 hours incubation. The OD570 of isopropyl alcohol extracts was measured on a spectrophotometer. Relative cell viability was calculated for each tissue as % of the mean viability of the negative control tissues.

The controls confirmed the validity of the study. The mean absolute OD570 of the three negative control tissues was ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 2.8 (1.806). The mean relative tissue viability (% negative control) of the positive control was ≤ 20% (3.7%). Standard deviation of viability of replicate tissues of all dose groups was ≤ 18% (0.2% – 1.7%).

The colour of the test substance did not interfere with the endpoint. The test substance is not directly MTT reducing. The average viability of tissues treated by the positive control, 5% SDS, was 3.7 % of the negative control average value. The average viability of tissues treated by the test item, 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine, was 9.4 % of the negative control average value i.e. viability was > 50 %. According to these results, the test substance is irritating.

Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS :
On the test day, fresh eyes were collected from the slaughterhouse and were transported in HBSS containing Pen/Strep on ice to the laboratories. Immediately after arrival of the eyes, cornea preparation was initiated.
The tissue surrounding the eyeball was carefully pulled away and the cornea was excised leaving a 2 to 3 mm rim of sclera. The isolated corneas were stored in a petri dish containing HBSS. Before the corneas were mounted in corneal holders (Duratec GmbH) with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior chamber, they had been visually examined for defects and any defective cornea had been discarded. The anterior chamber was then positioned on top of the cornea and tightened with screws. The chambers of the corneal holder were then filled with RPMI (without phenol red) containing 1% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine (complete RPMI). The posterior chamber was always filled first. The corneas were incubated for one hour at 32 ± 1 °C.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS : The eyes were carefully examined for defects and any defective eyes were discarded.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3 corneas for the test item

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED : 3 corneas as negative controls treated with physiological saline 0.9% NaCl

POSITIVE CONTROL USED : 3 corneas as positive controls treated with imidazole 20% in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME : 750 µL of the test item preparation or the control substance was introduced into the anterior chamber (closed-chamber method). The corneas were incubated for 4 hours ± 5 minutes incubation at 32 ± 1 °C.

TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: No

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: the epithelium washed at least three times with MEM (containing phenol red)


METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: The change in opacity for each cornea was calculated by subtracting the initial opacity reading from the final opacity reading. These values were corrected by subtracting from each the average change in opacity observed for the negative-control corneas. The mean opacity value for each treatment was calculated by averaging the corrected opacity values of each cornea for a given treatment.
- Corneal permeability: 1 mL of a 5 mg/mL sodium fluorescein solution was added to the anterior chamber and the corneas were incubated for 90 minutes at 32 ± 1 °C. Then the medium from the posterior chamber was removed and its optical density at 490 nm (OD490) was determined, using a spectrophotometer (Jenway 6405 UV/VIS).
The mean blank OD490 was subtracted from the OD490 of each cuvette (corrected OD490). Any dilutions that were made to bring the OD490 values into the linear range of the spectrophotometer (OD490 should be less than 1.500), were taken into account by multiplying the OD490 value of the dilution by the dilution factor. The final-corrected OD490 of the test article and the positive control were calculated by subtracting the average-corrected OD490 of the negative-control corneas from the corrected OD490 value of each treated cornea: Final-corrected OD490 = (OD490 – mean blank OD490) – average-corrected negative control OD490
The mean OD490 value of each treatment group was calculated by averaging the final corrected OD490 values of the treated corneas for that treatment condition.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The following mean in vitro irritation score was 138.81. According to the evaluation criteria the test item 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine is classified into UN GHS Category 1.
Executive summary:

In the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) assay (183805), isolated bovine corneas were exposed to 750 µL 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine (99.29%) in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl for 4 hours ± 5 minutes incubation at 32 ± 1 °C using the closed chamber method. Physiological saline 0.9% NaCl was used for the negative control and imidazole 20% in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl was used for the positive control. The corneas were rinsed 3 times and then the opacity and permeability (via sodium fluorescein dye) of each cornea were recorded.

The positive control gave the appropriate response. All 3 corneas treated with 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine showed complete opacity of the tissue. The mean opacity value for the test substance was 138.67. The mean permeability OD490 for the test substance was 0.014. The IVIS for the test substance was 138.81. The IVIS for 4,6-dichloro-N-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine is > 55 therefore the classification of test substance for eye irritation or serious eye damage is: Category 1.
