Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Eye injury in rabbits is recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and is based upon the degree of corneal necrosis. Grade 1 indicates a very small area of necrosis resulting from 0.5 mL of undiluted chemical in the eye.
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
the study was conducted prior adoption of GLP

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
According to the study results, tripropylamine produces "very small area of necrosis" after instillation of 0.5 mL of test material in eyes of rabbits. Tripropylamine is considered to be corrosive to eyes
Executive summary:

Tripropylamine was tested in a range-finding toxicity study in albino New Zealand rabbits (Smyth et al., 1969). Eye injury in rabbits was recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and was based upon the degree of corneal necrosis that resulted from instillation of 0.5 mL of undiluted test material in the eyes of animals. Grade 1 established for tripropylamine indicates a very small area of necrosis.
