A proposal for a new in vitro method for direct classification of eye irritants by cytotoxicity test – Preliminary study was written by Krakowian, Daniel;Gadarowska, Dominika;Daniel-Wojcik, Anna;Mrzyk, Inga. And the article was included in Toxicology Letters in 2021.Computed Properties of C13H9Cl3N2O This article mentions the following:
None of the in vitro method are suitable for directly classifying of a substance as an eye irritant (category 2). They can classify substance as category 1 (serious eye damage) or as “no category” (not requiring classification). The aim of this study was to develop a new method for direct classification of a substance as category 2. Cytotoxicity Assay to Assess Eye Irritation (CEI) was performed on fibroblast – HDFn cell line with 36 substances. 5 concentrations of all substances and neat substances were applied directly to the cells. After 30 min, medium was added and cells were incubated at 37°C. The next day, the cytotoxicity assay was performed (MTT assay in the first run and NRU assay in the second run). Based on viability and IC50 value (concentration with 50% viability) a substance could be classified in category 2, category 1, and as “no category”. The results obtained were referred to ECHA database. This new method had high sensitivity (53.8-88.9%), specificity (73.9-100.0%) and accuracy (69.4-88.9%) in the classification to all categories. It effectively classifies not only substances in category 2 but also in category 1 and substances that do not require classification. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea (cas: 101-20-2Computed Properties of C13H9Cl3N2O).
1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)urea (cas: 101-20-2) belongs to organic chlorides. An organic chloride is an organic compound containing at least one covalently bonded atom of chlorine. Their wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties lead to a broad range of names and applications. Alkanes and aryl alkanes may be chlorinated under free radical conditions, with UV light. However, the extent of chlorination is difficult to control.Computed Properties of C13H9Cl3N2O
