Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study, approx. 50mg 7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (I acid) was instilled into the eyes of the rabbits.No eye irritation was observed after 7 days.
Hence,7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acidcan be considered not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study in rabbits, 50 mg 7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (I acid) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 2 New Zealand white rabbits and observed for signs of irritation. The animals were observed for 7 days. No eye irritation was observed after 7 days.

Hence, 7 -amino-4 -hydroxy-2 -naphthalenesulfonic acid can be considered not irritating to rabbit eyes.
