Duration of treatment / exposure:
10 mins
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
After rinsing, 120 mins at 32C.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS : 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. The anterior and posterior chambers of each BCOP holder were filled with complete Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) without phenol red and plugged. The holders were incubated at 32 ± 1 ºC for 60 minutes. At the end of the incubation period each cornea was examined for defects. Only corneas free of damage were used.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES : 3

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED : Yes, 0.9% saline

POSITIVE CONTROL USED : Yes, pure ethanol

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME 0.75mL for 10 mins

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: 3

- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: 120 mins at 32C.

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: not specified
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of microtiter plate reader
- Other: corneas retained for histopathology but this was not performed.

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)

DECISION CRITERIA: As per UN GHS (<=3 not classified, >55 category 1)

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

In a guideline and GLP ex-vivo bovine corneal opacity eye irritation study, the substance THI-TM produced minimal effects on the cattle corneas used. The results indicated that the substance does not need to be classified as an eye irritant
