- Himalayan
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: LPT Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology GmbH & Co. KG, Branch Löhndorf, 24601 Löhndorf/Post Wankendorf, Germany
- Age at study initiation: approx. 3.5 - 5.5 months
- Weight at study initiation: 2.2 to 2.5 kg
- Housing: for 8 hours following test item application, the animals were kept singly in restrainers which allowed free movement of the head but prevented a complete body turn, wiping of the eyes with the paws and excluded irritation of the eye by excrements and urine. During the acclimatisation period and after the 8-hour period in restrainers, the animals were kept singly in cages with dimensions of 380 mm x 425 mm x 600 mm (manufacturer: Dipl.Ing. W. EHRET GmbH, 16352 Schönwalde, Germany)
- Diet (ad libitumbefore and after the exposure period ): commercial diet, ssniff® K-H V2333 (ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, 59494 Soest, Germany)
- Water (ad libitum before and after the exposure period): tap water
- Acclimation period: at least 20 adaptation days
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 20°C ± 3°C (maximum range)
- Relative humidity: 30% - 70% (maximum range)
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg of the test item were administered into one eye each of three animals. The volume of particulates was measured after gently compacting them, e.g. by tapping the measuring container.
The test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then gently held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the material. The left eye, which remained untreated, served as a control. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 1 hour
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3 male rabbits
- Details on study design:
- The test was performed initially using one animal. As no corrosive or severe irritant effects were observed in this animal, 2 further animals were employed 24 hours after start of the initial test.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the eyes were rinsed with portions of 20 mL 0.9% aqueous NaCl solution, each.
- Time after start of exposure: 1 hour after administration
SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale
Any further lesions are listed.
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
The eyes were examined ophthalmoscopically with a slit lamp prior to the administration and 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the administration. The eye reactions were observed and registered.
24 hours after administration, fluorescein (Fluorescein SE Thilo drops (ALCON PHARMA GmbH, 79108 Freiburg, Germany)) was applied to the eyes before being examined to aid evaluation of the cornea for possible lesions.
OBSERVATIONS:
Body weight of all animals was measured at the beginning and at the end of the study. Behaviour and food consumption were monitored.
