Abstract:
:We believe the development and validation of in vitro alternatives to eliminate the need to use animals in ocular irritation testing must be based on a thorough understanding of the mechanisms of ocular irritation. We have recently undertaken the task of developing such an understanding for a panel of surfactants. The purpose of this study was to expand our current panel of surfactants for which the microscopic changes occurring over time have been characterized. Macroscopic and microscopic findings regarding the ocular irritation of 6 surfactants of relatively unknown irritancy were compared to those of 6 surfactants of known irritancy. The right eye of each rat was treated by placing 10 microliters of a surfactant directly on the cornea. Untreated left eyes served as the controls. At 3 hr and on days 1, 3, and 35, eyes and eyelids were collected for microscopic examination. Collectively, the macroscopic and microscopic findings revealed 3 surfactants to be similar to the mildly irritating surfactants previously studied, and 3 surfactants to be similar to the moderately irritating surfactant previously studied. Information such as this will be important to develop mechanistically based in vitro alternatives to replace the use of animals for ocular irritation testing.
