SCORING SYSTEM: Grading and scoring of the ocular lesions were performed according to cornea,iris, Conjunctivae ,chemosis and redness in the eye of rabbit
Grading Scale for Eye Irritation:
Cornea Grade
Opacity: degree of density (readings should be taken from most dense area)*
No ulceration or opacity = 0
Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre); details of iris slightly obscured = 1*
Easily discernible translucent area; details of iris slightly obscured = 2*
Opalescent area; no details of iris visible; size of pupil barely discernible = 3*
Opaque cornea; iris not discernible through the opacity = 4*
Area of Cornea Involved
One quarter(or less) but not zero = 1
Greater than one quarter, but less than half = 2
Greater than half, but less than three quarters = 3
Greater than three quarters, up to whole area = 4
Iris
Normal = 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia; or injection; iris reactive to light (a sluggish reaction is considered to be an effect = 1 *
Hemorrhage, gross destruction, or no reaction to light = 2*
Conjunctivae
Redness (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae; excluding cornea and iris)
Vessels Normal = 0
Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) = 1
Diffuse, crimson colour; individual vessels not easily discernible = 2*
Diffuse beefy red = 3 *
Chemosis
Swelling (refers to lids and/or nictating membranes)
No swelling = 0
Any swelling above normal (includes nictating membrane)= 1*
Obvious swelling, with partial eversion of lids = 2*
Swelling, with lids about half closed = 3*
Swelling, with lids more than half closed= 4*
*-interpreted as a positive effect (TSCA test criteria)
Results and discussion
In vitro
- Other effects / acceptance of results:
- no data available
In vivo
Results
- Irritation parameter:
- overall irritation score
- Basis:
- mean
- Time point:
- other: 4 days

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not irritating
- Conclusions:
- Instillation of Ammonium molybdate into the rabbit eyes elicited transient and very slight conjunctival inflammation only which were completely resolved after 4 days
The overall irritation scores after 7 days was 0.0
Based on the observations and scores, Ammonium molybdate can be considered not irritating to rabbit eyes. - Executive summary:
The ocular irritation potential of Ammonium molybdate was assessed in rabbits. The study was performed according to OECD 405 Guidelines. 100 mg of 0.1 ml chemical was installed into thelower everted lid of 6 New Zealand White male rabbits. The contralateral eye remained untreated and served as a control. Examination of the eyes was made after 1 hour and 1, 2, 3, 4 and.7 days after instillation. Observation of the eyes was aided by the use of a handheld torch. Grading and scoring of the ocular lesions were performed.
One of the animals gave a "positive" response. No corneal damage or iridial inflammation was seen throughout the observation period. A diffuse crimson-red colouration of the conjunctivae was evident twenty-four hours after instillation only in one animal. Mild conjunctival inflammation was observed in the remaininq animals. All conjunctival reactions had resolved one to four days after instillation.
Instillation of Ammonium molybdate into the rabbit eyes elicited transient and very slight conjunctival inflammation only which were completely resolved after 4 days
The overall irritation scores after 7 days was 0.0
Based on the observations and scores, Ammonium molybdate can be considered not irritating to rabbit eyes.
