Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- human
- Strain:
- other: human-derived keratinocytes
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- The EpiOcular tissue consists of normal, human-derived keratinocytes which have been cultured to form a stratified squamous epithelium similar to that found in the human cornea. It consists of highly organized basal cells. These cells are not transformed or transfected with genes to induce an extended life span. The EpiOcularTM tissues are cultured in specially prepared cell culture inserts with a porous membrane through which nutrients can pass to the cells. The tissue surface is 0.6 cm2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP criteria not met (Inconclusive)
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the test substance can be considered to be potentially irritating, however no prediction for classification (i.e., GHS class 1 and GHS class 2) can be made
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the eye irritation potential of the test substance, C18 ADBAC (active: 96.2%), using the commercially available MatTek® Human Corneal Epithelium (EpiOcular) test method, according to OECD 492 Guideline, in compliance with GLP.EpiOcularTM tissues were placed in 1 mL of fresh maintenance medium (6-well plate). The tissues were incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2, in humidified incubator and after 1 h, the medium was replaced by 1 mL of fresh medium for an overnight incubation at at 37°C, 5% CO2, in humidified incubator. The tissues in duplicate were exposed to single topical application of 50 mg neat test substance or 50 µL of reference substances (negative control: sterile water; positive control: methyl acetate) for 6 h, followed by a 25 minutes post-treatment immersion, and 18 h post-treatment incubation, prior to the MTT endpoint. After different treatment exposure period, tissues were transferred to 24 well plates containing MTT medium (1 mg/mL). After 3 h MTT incubation, the blue formazan salt formed was extracted with 2 mL of isopropanol per tissues for 2 to 3 h at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. The absorbance of the resulting coloured solution was measured at 570 nm. The viability of the tissues (which has been shown to directly correlate with the irritation potential) were assessed and compared to a negative control. The percentage viability obtained with the test substance was determined to be 5.7%, which is well below the threshold (i.e., ≤60%) indicating no prediction can be made. All the assay acceptance criteria were met and the study was considered valid. Under the conditions of the study, the test substance can be considered to be potentially irritating, however no prediction for classification (i.e., GHS class 1 and GHS class 2) can be made (Catoire, 2018).
