IN-LIFE DATES: From: 08.08.2006 To: 13.09.2006

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The left eye, which remained untreated, served as a control.
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg Menthyloxathiolane
Duration of treatment / exposure:
100 mg of the test item per eye were administered and tested in three animals. In 2 of the 3 animals a washout with 20 mL aqueous NaCl solution was carried out
24 hours after instillation.
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: In 2 of the 3 animals a washout with 20 mL aqueous NaCl solution was carried out2.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: The eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically with a slit lamp prior to the administration and 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 4 to 15 days after the administration. 24 hours, 7 and 14 days after administration the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein3 and examined.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category II
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in all animals24 hours to 5 days after instillation, in animal no. 2 until 14 days after instillation.
Irritation of the iris (grade 1) was observed in all animals 24 hours after instillation, in animal no. 2 until 48 hours and in animal no. 1 until 4 days
after instillation.
Conjunctival redness was observed in all animals.
- animal no. 1: 24 hours (grade 2), 1 hour and 48 hours to 7 days (grade 1) after instillation;
- animal no. 2: 24 hours to 4 days (grade 2), 1 hour and 5 to 10 days (grade 1) after instillation;
- animal no. 3: 1 hour to 5 days (grade 1) after instillation.
Chemosis was observed in all animals:
- animal no. 1: 24 hours to 4 days (grade 2), 1 hour, 5 and 6 days (grade 1) after instillation;
- animal no. 2: 24 hours (grade 3), 48 hours to 4 days (grade 2), 1 hour, 5 and 6 days (grade 1) after instillation;
