Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The test material p-anisyl acetate (CAS No: 104-21-2) was considered to be not irritating in four female SPF albino rabbits.
Executive summary:

An ocular irritation study was performed in four female SPF albino rabbits for test chemical p-anisyl acetate (CAS No: 104-21-2) in order to determine its irritancy potency.

 

A 0.1 ml aliquot of undiluted p-anisyl acetate was instilled into the left eye then gently closed for 1 s. The untreated right eye of each animal served as a control. Observations were made at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h. Slight to moderate conjunctive irritation (4/4) was observed 1 hour after application. All effects were reversible within 48 h.

 

As all the observed effects were not persisted after 48 hours, the chemical p-anisyl acetate (CAS No: 104-21-2) was considered to be not irritating infour female SPF albino rabbits.
