Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg
undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
168 h
Observation period (in vivo):
Ocular reactions were observed approximately one hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the administration and then daily until reversibility of the ocular reactions.
The mean values of the scores recorded for each animal after 24, 48 and 72 hours were calculated.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
As no severe irritant effects were anticipated, a single dose of 100 mg of the test substance was introduced into the left conjunctival sac of three male New Zealand White rabbits. The right eye served as control.
The test substance was ground to a fine powder. The eyes were not rinsed after administration of the test substance.
Ocular reactions were observed approximately one hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the administration and then daily until reversibility of the ocular reactions.
The mean values of the scores recorded for each animal after 24, 48 and 72 hours were calculated.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight to marked conjunctival reactions were noted between day 1 and day 6: very slight to marked chemosis, very slight to marked conjunctival redness and clear ocular discharge.
Slight iritis was observed on day 3 in two animals; it persisted for 48 hours in one of them.
Very slight or slight corneal opacity was also noted in all animals on day 2; it persisted for 24 hours in one animal, and for 48 hours in two animals.
Reversibility of ocular lesions was noted on day 5 in two animals, and on day 7 in the other one.
The mean scores calculated over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 2.7, 0.7 and 0.7 for chemosis, 2.7, 0.3 and 1.3 for redness of the conjunctiva, 1.0, 0.0 and 0.3 for iris lesions and 1.7, 1.0 and 0.7 for corneal opacity.
Criteria for irritation: significant severe ocular lesions caused within 72 hours after exposure and which persists for 24 hours or more.
