Irritant / corrosive response data:
Instillation of approximately 25 mg of Anhydrothymidine (a volume of approximately 0.1 mL) into one eye of each of three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which consisted of redness. The irritation had completely resolved within 24 hours in two animals and within 48 hours in the other animal.

No iridial irritation or corneal opacity were observed, and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage.
There was no evidence of ocular corrosion.
Other effects:
No staining of (peri) ocular tissues by the test substance was observed and no test substance remnants were seen.
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the test substance is considered as not irritating to eyes.
