Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Healthy male young adult albino rabbits. Body weight range 2500g - 3500g obtained from ENKI konijnenfarm, Someren, The Netherlands. The animals were identified by ear marking. Animals were caged individually and did not receive hay or other extraneous material that might enter their eyes during treatment.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
undiluted
Amount applied: 0.1 gram
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period (in vivo):
168 hours post application
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
A sample of tonalid was examined for eye irritating properties in an experiment with albino rabbits. An aliquot of 0.1 g test material was instilled in 1 eye of 3 male New Zealand White albino rabbits with no further treatment (also not rinsed). The untreated eye served as a control. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and at 7, 14 and 21 days if reactions persisted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The cornea, iris, conjunctivae and chemosis scores were sufficiently assessed and the effects were fully reversible, except for some remaining redness in the conjunctivae after 7 days in 2 of the 3 animals. No effects were seen after 29 days.
Executive summary:

AHTN (Tonalid®; purity >98%) was applied undiluted as a finely ground powder (0.1 g) to the eyes of 3 New Zealand White albino rabbits. The test substance remained in the eyes for at least 24 hours. Eye irritation was evaluated at 1, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hour post application. Two rabbits had slight corneal opacity at 24-72 hr. Slight iritis was observed in one animal at the 1 hour observation and in another animal at the 24 and 48 hour observations. A slight (1/3 animals) to moderate (2/3 animals) redness and slight (2/3) to moderate (1/3 animals) swelling of the conjunctivae was seen after 24-48 hour. After 7 days a slight redness of the conjunctivae without any other effects was still seen in two animals. All effects had cleared by 29 days.
