Two-stage bottom-up tiered approach combining several alternatives for identification of eye irritation potential of chemicals including insoluble or volatile substances
Author:
Hayashi et al
Year:
2012
Bibliographic source:
Toxicology in Vitro 26 (2012) 1199–1208

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 492 (Reconstructed Human Cornea-like Epithelium (RhCE) Test Method for Identifying Chemicals Not Requiring Classification and Labelling for Eye Irritation or Serious Eye Damage)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
The exposure time is 90 minutes instead of 30 minutes
GLP compliance:
not specified

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2-aminophenol
EC Number:
202-431-1
EC Name:
2-aminophenol
Cas Number:
95-55-6
Molecular formula:
C6H7NO
IUPAC Name:
2-aminophenol
Test material form:
solid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
purchased from Sigma Aldrich Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA)

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
other: EpiOcular OCL-200
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
purchased from MatTek Corporation (Ashland, MA, USA)

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
50 mg/tissue
Duration of treatment / exposure:
90 minutes
Duration of post- treatment incubation (in vitro):
18h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2
Details on study design:
After treatment, tissues were rinsed by dipping, swirling and decanting three times with DPBS
Viability was determined by the MTT assay.

A viability of less than 60% identifies a substance as an eye irritant.

The publication lists results of in-vitro assays for 56 substances of known in-vivo eye irritant potential. Individual OD scores and control incubations are not provided.
