TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Kitayama Labes Co., Ltd
- Age at study initiation: 12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2.22-2.38 kg
- Housing: in an animal room
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): a commercial pellet diet, RC4 ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 3°C
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 20%
- Air changes (per hr): 8 times or more/ hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:
water
Amount / concentration applied:
Twenty five milligrams of the test substance equivalent to 0.1 mL were dropped into the right conjunctival sac of rabbit.
Observation period (in vivo):
Eye reactions were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. As the observed eye reaction did not disappear within this period, the eyes were observed also at 7 days after application to confirm the progress of recovery.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 female rabbits

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the initial test, both conjunctival redness and chemosis graded at 1 were observed at 1 hour after application, and conjunctival redness graded at 1 alone was observed at 24 hours after application. The eye reaction disappeared by the observation at 48 hours after application. Since corrosive and severe irritative reactions were not observed as a result of

the initial test, a confirmatory test was executed.

In the confirmatory test, both conjunctival redness and chemosis graded at 1 were observed in 2 animals at 1 hour after application.

One (Animal ID No. 4) of the eye reactions disappeared by the observation at 48 hours after application and the other one (Animal ID No. 3) disappeared at 7 days after application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A potential eye irritation/corrosion of Manufacturing Intermediate of TMX-67 (Thiazole Derivative (Free Base Form)) to rabbit eye was not classified into any of
categories based on the criteria of GHS under the conditions of this study.
