ABSTRACT

Various alternative test methods are being developed to replace in vivo Draize rabbit test that evaluates eye irritation. However, a single alternative method has difficulty to be applied in safety evaluation on substances, because it cannot fully replace the in vivo test by simulating only part of the in vivo system. For this reason, different studies using several alternative test methods and test results of literatures have been under way. Our previous study suggested effective tiered approaches using three tests among Short Time Exposure (STE), Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP), Hen’s Egg Test-Chorioallantoic Membrane (HET-CAM), re-constructed human cornea epitheliums (RhCE) tests. This study aimed to evaluate eye irritation potential for 30 new test chemicals using two tiered approaches. According to the data generated by direct test performance and literature survey, the accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of the two tiered approaches were 83.3%∼86.7%, 93.3%, 73.3%∼ 80%, respectively. Furthermore, the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the two tiered approaches by applying combined data against 30 test chemicals in our present study and 47 test chemicals in previous study were 90.9%∼92.2%, 95.9%∼98.0%, 78.6%∼85.7%. Consequently, the two tiered approaches may be used to identify between irritants and non-irritants to replace in vivo test.
