At the end of quarantine and acclimation healthy rabbits with normal eyes were selected through eye detection with an ophthalmoscope (Part Number: 1127-P-1005, Keeler Instruments Inc.).
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 20.5 ~ 22.0 °C
- Relative humidity: 42.0 ~ 68.4 %
- Air changes: 10 ~ 15 air changes per hour (all fresh air method)
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Test system
- Vehicle:
- other: olive oil
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): the test substance (5 %) of 0.1 mL was administered to the conjunctival sac of the right eye after gently pulling over the lower eyelid away from the eyeball using a disposable syringe. The lids were then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent the loss of the test substnace. The other eye, which remains untreated, serves as a control.
- Concentration: test substance was weighed using the balance (CP323S, Sartorius, Germany); it was dissolved in olive oil to produce 5 % (w/v) concentration.
VEHICLE
- Lot no.: 045K6094
- Storage conditions: room temperature
- Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Co., Ltd., U.S.A. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- not applicable
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after the administration
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 male rabbits
- Details on study design:
- SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale
OBSERVATIONS
- Clinical signs and body weights: the animals were regularly observed for clinical signs once a day during the observation period. Individual body weights were measured on the first day of the administration (Day 0) and the last day during the observation period with the balance (HW-60KGL, AND Korea).

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- At 1 hour reading after the administration, the redness in conjunctiva, chemosis in conjunctiva and discharge with score 1 were observed in all animals.
At 24 hour reading, the redness and chemosis in conjunctiva with score 1 were observed in two animals. In addition, the redness in conjunctiva and discharge with score 1 and the chemosis in conjunctiva with score 2 were observed in one animal.
At 48 hour reading, the discharge with score 1 was observed in one animal.
Eye irritation was not observed in all animals at 72 and 96 hour reading after the administration.
Adverse effects on the cornea and iris were not observed in all three animals. - Other effects:
- Clinical signs and mortality: throughout the study, all animals appeared normal and there were no abnormalities in clinical signs and death attributed to treatment of the test substance during the observation period.
-Changes of body weights: the body weights of all animals were typically increased during the observation period and mean body weight gain was 0.09 kg.
