Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Yes, Cell culture media (cMEM), minimum of 3 rinses
- Time after start of exposure: 10 minutes
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Opacity: The opacity value was calculated by subtracting the initial basal opacity for each cornea from the post-treatment opacity reading (t130 - t0).
- Permeability: The corrected optical density 490 nm (OD490) value for each positive control- and test article-treated cornea was calculated by subtracting the average value for the negative control-treated corneas from the original permeability value for each cornea.
- In vitro score for the negative control = opacity value +(15 x OD490 value)
- In vitro score for positive control and test article = (test item opacity value - negative control opacity value) + (15 x Corrected OD490 value)
- The mean in vitro score of the test article-treated corneas was calculated and compared to the ranges in Table 1 to interpret the results.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Opacity: opacitometer and Permeability: 0.5% fluorescein and spectrophotometer at OD490

REMARK for Section : Overall irritation/corrosion results:

Mean in vitro irritation scores were 1.81 and 77.29 for the negative control and positive control, respectively. These results indicated that the test was valid. The mean irritation score for MTDID 8191 was 1.40 which is considered non-irritating under the protocol-defined classification criteria. Individual cornea results are included in Table 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: INVITTOX (UK) protocol no. 98 “The Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability Assay”, dated February 1994.
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, MTDID 8191 is not considered to be an eye irritant.
Executive summary:

OBJECTIVE: The corneal irritation and damage potential of MTDID 8191 (yellow liquid, batch MK 12/048) was tested in the Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability assay (BCOP).

METHODS: This study was conducted in compliance with OECD GLP (1997) and the Chemicals Act of Germany (2002). The study method was based on the OECD draft proposal for the BCOP assay (2008), INVITTOX (UK) protocol no. 98 (1994), and the SOP of Microbiological Associates Ltd. (1997). Bovine corneas (3 per group) were prepared in cell culture media. The corneas were mounted in an O-ring holder and incubated for at least 1 hour at 32 C prior to exposure. Corneas (3 per group) were treated with 0.75 mL of MTDID 8191, 2-ethoxyethanol (positive control), or 0.9% saline (negative control) and incubated for a 10 minute exposure period at 32 C. At the end of the exposure period, the corneas were rinsed with media and then incubated for approximately 120 minutes. Opacity was evaluated prior to treatment and 120 minutes after the initiation of exposure. Permeability was evaluated at 120 minutes after exposure using a fluorescein method. The mean in vitro irritation scores were calculated and the scores were classified according to protocol defined categories.

RESULTS: Mean in vitro irritation scores were 1.81 and 77.29 for the negative control and positive control, respectively. These results indicated that the test was valid. The mean irritation score for MTDID 8191 was 1.40 which is considered non-irritating under the protocol-defined classification criteria.

CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, MTDID 8191 is not considered an ocular irritant.
