Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
Himalayan
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The experimental animals were albino Himalayan rabbits (strain: Hoe: HIMK (SPFWiga); own breeding) used in weight from 1.846 to 2.392 kg. The animals were kept in individual cages and were given the standard feed ERKA 8300 (feed mill Robert Koch oHG, Hamm / Westphalia.). Food and water were available ad libitum.

Test system

Vehicle:
other: 0.05 ml of Polyethylen glycol 400
Controls:
other: The right eye served as an untreated control.
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg of powdered substance into 0.05 ml of Polyethylen glycol 400
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24h
Observation period (in vivo):
72h
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6
Details on study design:
The substance was applied in the conjunctival sac of the left eye skin once.

The assessment of the irritation was with a loupe at 1, 7, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application. 24 hours after treatment, the eyes were washed with physiological saline. The 48 - and 72-hour value was determined according to the additional instillation of a drop of fluorescein sodium.
