SOURCE OF COLLECTED EYES
- Source: Local abattoir (Slaughter house), Near Frazer town, Bengaluru.
- Characteristics of donor animals (e.g. age, sex, weight): not specified.
- Storage, temperature and transport conditions of ocular tissue (e.g. transport time, transport media and temperature, and other conditions): The bovine eyes were procured from local abattoir and transported in a jar containing Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) and penicillin-streptomycin (100 IU & 100 µg/mL) in an ice box.
- Time interval prior to initiating testing: Not specified.

Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS: Immediately after receiving the eyes in the lab, all eyes were observed for any evidence of vascularization, pigmentation, opacity or scratches. Post pretest examination, selected eyes were dissected to isolate the corneas from surrounding tissue and then placed in a container with fresh HBSS (Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution). The isolated corneas were mounted on the cornea holder. During mounting, it was ensured that the epithelium of the cornea projected into the anterior chamber. EMEM (Eagle Minimum Essential Medium) without phenol red was added in to both the chambers and kept in an incubator (32°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes. After pre-test incubation, the EMEM from both the chambers was removed and refilled with the fresh EMEM. The pre-treatment cornea reading (lux) was measured and initial opacity was calculated for all corneas. 2 out of 12 corneas exhibited initial opacity more than 7. The corneas which exhibited initial opacity < 7 were considered for further experiment. Post initial opacity measurement, nine corneas with opacity less than 7 were grouped into Negative control, Positive control and Test item treatment groups with 3 corneas per group.

QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS: Corneas from eyes free of visible defects and with an opacity value inferior than 7 were used.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED: yes. Distilled water.

POSITIVE CONTROL USED: yes. Acetone.

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME: 750 μL of undiluted test item, 10 min exposure.

TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber.

POST-INCUBATION PERIOD: no.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: Anterior chamber was washed three times with EMEM containing phenol red. After, the anterior chamber was rinsed with EMEM without phenol red.

- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: After rinsing, both the chambers were filled with fresh EMEM and further incubated at 32 (±1) ºC for 2 hours before measuring the final opacity.

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: Final opacity of all corneas was measured with fresh EMEM using an OP3.0 Opacitometer (Duratec, Germany)
- Corneal permeability: passage of sodium fluorescein dye (optical density at 490 nm) measured with microplate reader (Tecan, Model: Infinite M200).

SCORING SYSTEM: In Vitro Irritancy Score (IVIS)

DECISION CRITERIA: as indicated in the TG (see table below).

- Acceptance criteria met for negative control:yes, distilled water response resulted in opacity and permeability values that are less than established upper limits for negative control opacity (1.33) and permeability values (0.0257)
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes, IVIS score of acetone was 104.32 which falls between two standard deviations of the historical mean i.e. 96-128.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: No prediction can be made (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The test item cannot be predicted as not classified for eye irritation/serious eye damage or as causing serious eye damage with the BCOP test method.

Executive summary:

An in vitro Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) study was conducted in order to determine the potential severe eye damaging effects of the test item according to the OECD guideline 437 under GLP conditions. Three sets consisting of three corneas each were tested: the first set was the negative control, and was treated with 750 μL distilled water; the second set was the positive control, and was treated with 750 μL of acetone and the third set was treated with 750 μL of test item. The corneas were exposured for 10 min after which the test item was washed and then the corneas were kept in incubation for 2 h at 32ºC. After incubation, opacity of the corneas and fluorescein permeability were measured. Negative control and positive control exhibited expected response as No category (IVIS score 1.429) and Category 1 (IVIS score 104.32) respectively. The test item exhibited an IVIS score of 18.045. Thus, it can be concluded that the test ítem cannot be predicted as not classified for eye irritation/serious eye damage or as causing serious eye damage with the BCOP test method.
