The EpiOcularTM model (OCL-200) is a three-dimensional non-keratinized tissue construct composed of normal human derived epidermal keratinozytes used to model the human corneal epithelium. The EpiOcularTM tissues (surface 0.6 cm²) are cultured on specially prepared cell culture inserts (MILLICELLs, 10 mm ∅) and are commercially available as kits (EpiOcular™ 200), containing 24 tissues on shipping agarose.

To assess the ability of the test material to directly reduce MTT a pretest was performed.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: yes (tissue incubations for positive and negative controls included)
Amount / concentration applied:
0.05 mL (33 mg)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
6 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
18h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Two tissue samples were used per group.
Details on study design:
Tissue destruction was determined by measuring the metabolic activity of the tissue after exposure/post-incubation using a colorimetric test. The reduction of mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, measured by reduced formazan production after incubation with a tetrazolium salt (MTT) was chosen as endpoint. The formazan production of the testsubstance treated epidermal tissues is compared to that of negative control tissues. The
quotient of the values indicates the relative tissue viability.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Methyl acetate was used as positive control and deionised water as negative control and both gave the results to satisfy acceptance criteria.

Methyl acetate decreased the mean viability to 24% of control cultures.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean viability was less than 60%, therefore the substance is considered to be irritating to eyes.
