Irritant / corrosive response data:

In the initial test, the test chemical produced slight redness and mild discharge after 2 hours of application of test compound. This condition was recovered after 24 hours. Furthermore, no other clinical signs were recorded after application of test compound such as cage side activity, pain etc
In the confirmatory test, the test chemical produced slight redness of conjunctivae after two hour of application of test compound upto 24 hours. However, there was no other clinical sign recorded in both of the animals during the whole observation period for 21 days.

Other effects:

The test compound when applied in conjunctival sac of rabbits did not show any observable clinical signs such as cage side activity and pain or stress etc. throughout the observation period of 21 days

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

In the initial test, the test chemical produced slight redness and mild discharge after 2 hours of application of test compound. This condition was recovered after 24 hours. Furthermore, no other clinical signs were recorded after application of test compound such as cage side activity, pain etc
In the confirmatory test, the test chemical produced slight redness of conjunctivae after two hour of application of test compound upto 24 hours. However, there was no other clinical sign recorded in both of the animals during the whole observation period for 21 days.
Also the overall irritation score was calculated to be 2.5/110. According to the irritation parameter propised by Kay & Calandra, the test chemical can be consdiered to be practically not irritating to eyes,
It can be classified under the category "Not Classified".

Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation study of the test chemical was conducted in New Zealand White Rabbit as per the OECD- 405 Guideline. 3 female young adult New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study.

One healthy rabbits of body weight 1.96kg was selected for study after acclimatization. Both eyes of rabbits were examined for any abnormal discharge such as eye irritation, ocular defects or pre-existing corneal injury from eye 24 hours prior to application of test compound.

The test compound was applied in the conjunctival sac of rabbit after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball at the dose rate of0.1gm.The lids were then gently held for about one second in order to prevent loss of the material. The other eye which remain untreated, served as a control. The acute irritation to eye conjunctiva, cornea and iris was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hoursafter the treatment. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animal was observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weight before and during the study was observed.

The test chemical produced slight redness and mild discharge after 2 hours of application of test compound. This condition was recovered after 24 hours. Furthermore, no other clinical signs were recorded after application of test compound such as cage side activity, pain etc

A confirmatory test was performed using two additional animals according to the same procedure. The acute irritation to eye conjunctiva, cornea and iris was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animals were observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weight before and during the study was observed.

In the confirmatory test, the test chemical produced slight redness of conjunctivae after two hour of application of test compound upto 24 hours. However, there was no other clinical sign recorded in both of the animals during the whole observation period for 21 days.

Also the overall irritation score was calculated to be 2.5/110. According to the irritation parameter propised by Kay & Calandra, the test chemical can be consdiered to be practically not irritating to eyes,

It can be classified under the category "Not Classified".
