Test system

Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24h
Observation period (in vivo):
1h, 24h, 48h and 72h after application in all 3 animals and on day 7 in 2 animals.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
3 rabbits were dosed with 0.1 mL of Diethanolamine, propoxylated in the conjunctival sac of the right eyelid. Untreated left eyes served as negative control. Rabbits were observed at 1h, 24h, 48h, 72h and 7 days after application, with an otoscope lamp. Assessments were made regarding cornea opacity, affected area, conjunctivae redness, iris, chemosis and discharge. Scoring was based on the criteria of the OECD Harmonized Integrated Classification System.

A check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once daily at weekends and on public holidays.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, classification of Diethanolamine, propoxylated for eye irritation is not warranted.
Executive summary:

Previous to performing this in vivo eye irritation study, in vitro HET-CAM and BCOP (final report not yet available) assays were performed. In the HET-CAM test Diethanolamine, propoxylated elicited strong irritant effects. However, in the BCOP test, exposure to Diethanolamine, propoxylated did not cause eye irritation. In the in vivo study, 0.1 mL of Diethanolamine, propoxylated was applied to the eyes of 3 female rabbits. Only slight redness (mean score 0.9) and chemosis (mean score 0.7) of the conjunctivae was observed in all animals. This effects was fully reversible after 72h. Based on these results classification of Diethanolamine, propoxylated for eye irritation is not warranted.
