Lebrun, Stewart published the artcileAscorbic acid specifically reduces the misclassification of nonirritating reactive chemicals in the OptiSafe macromolecular eye irritation test, Name: 1-Bromooctane, the publication is Toxicology In Vitro (2022), 105313, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Recently, we showed that the addition of physiol. concentrations of ascorbic acid, a tear antioxidant, to the OptiSafe macromol. eye irritation test reduced the false-pos. (FP) rate for chems. that had reactive chemistries, leading to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mol. crosslinking. The purpose of the current study was to 1) increase the number of chems. tested to comprehensibly determine whether the antioxidant-associated reduction in OD is specific to FP chems. associated with ROS chemistries and 2) determine whether the addition of antioxidants interferes with the detection of true pos. (TP) and true neg. (TN) ocular irritants. We report that when ascorbic acid is added to the test reagents, retesting of FP chems. with reactive chemistries show significantly reduced OD values (P < 0.05). Importantly, ascorbic acid had no significant effect on the OD values of TP or TN chems. regardless of chem. reactivity. These findings suggest that supplementation of ascorbic acid in alternative ocular irritation tests may help improve the detection of TN for those commonly misclassified reactive chems.
