Pesticides' Cornea Permeability-How Serious Is This Problem?

ABSTRACT: Background: A total of 348 pesticides from different chemical families (carbamates, organochlorines organophosphorus compounds, pyrethroids, triazines and miscellaneous) were investigated in the context of their cornea permeability and potential to cause eye corrosion. Methods: Multivariate models of cornea permeability based on compounds whose cornea permeability has been determined experimentally were proposed. The models, applicable to compounds across a relatively broad lipophilicity range (e.g., pesticides with octanol-water partition coefficient log P up to ca. 8), assume a reverse-parabolic relationship between cornea permeability and lipophilicity, expressed as XLOGP3; other main descriptors present in the models are log D at
