Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

Fresh bovine eyes were obtained on the day of the test. The cattle were between 12 and 60 months old. The eyes were transported to the test facility in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution with 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin solution (Penicillin 100 U/mL, Streptomycin 100 µg/mL) in a suitable cooled container within 1 hour.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Two experiments were performed.
The first experiment (Exp. 1) was not valid because die mean IVIS value of the positive control was not within the range of historical data. This experiment is not reported in this report, but the raw data are kept in the test facility in the GLP- archive.
The second experiment (Exp. 1b) was valid and the results are reported here.

Bovine corneas were used. They were collected from slaughtered cattle that were be-tween 12 and 60 months old.
The test item 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)propan-1-one was applied onto the cornea of a bovine eye which had been previously incubated with cMEM without phenol red at 32 ± 1 °C for 1 hour and whose opacity had been measured.
The test item was incubated on the cornea for 4 hours at 32 ± 1 °C. After removal of the test item, opacity and permeability values were measured.
Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) was used as negative control. The negative con-trol showed no irritating effect on the cornea and the calculated mean IVIS (In Vitro Irri-tancy Score) was 1.93.
20% imidazole solution was used as positive control. The positive control induced serious eye damage on the cornea and was within two standard deviations of the current histori-cal mean. The calculated mean IVIS was 106.44.
Under the conditions of this study, the test item 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-2-(morpholin-4-yl)propan-1-one showed no effects on the cornea of the bovine eye. The calculated mean IVIS was -0.90.
