Description of key information

Skin Irritation:

Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of test chemical in Rabbits, was performed as per OECD guideline No. 404. The test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm did not produce any skin reaction as well as clinical signs of toxicity throughout the observation period of 72 hours after patch removal. However, there was no corrosivity of the test compound was observed during the entire observation period of 14 days. The dermal irritation index of New Zealand white rabbits is calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under "Not Classified".

 

 

Eye Irritation:

Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Study of Test chemical in Rabbits, was performed as per OECD guideline No. 405. The. In the confirmatory test, the test compound when applied to the conjunctival sac of the animals produced some conjunctival blood vessels hyperemic upto 24 hours. There were no other signs observed throughout the observation period of 21 days. Based on above findings, it can be concluded that the test compound is practically non-irritant when applied in the amount of 0.1 gm in the conjunctival sac of the rabbits and test compound can be classified under "Not Classified".

Conclusions:
The dermal irritation index of the test chemical in New Zealand white rabbits was calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under "Not Classified".
Executive summary:

A dermal irritation study was conducted on New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 404 to assess the irritation parameter of the test chemical.

In the initial test one healthy rabbit of body weight 1.80kg±200gm kg was selected for the study after acclimatization. The test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied at the different sites on the shaven back skin of animal. The hairs of back sides were removed (approximately 6 cm2) one day earlier before the treatment. The test substance in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied to a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of skin and covered with a gauze patch, which was held in place with non-irritating tape. The first patch was applied on the shaven back skin of rabbit and removed after three minutes. No serious reaction was observed at the site of application. The second patch was applied on the different shaven back side and removed after one hour. There were no signs of skin reaction observed at this site of application. Finally, a third patch was applied at a different site and was removed after four hour. . There were no signs of skin reaction observed at the site of application. Finally, the animal was observed for 14 days, for any irritation and corrosion.

Because no corrosive effect observed in the initial test, a confirmatory test was done in order to confirm the irritant or negative response of the test substance by using two additional animals. In the confirmatory test the test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm was applied on the shaven back skin of two animals, each with one patch, for an exposure period of four hours. After four hours the patch was removed and the skin reactions were graded according to Draize’s method.

The test compound in the amount of 0.5 gm did not produce any skin reaction as well as clinical signs of toxicity throughout the observation period of 72 hours after patch removal. However, there was no corrosivity of the test compound was observed during the entire observation period of 14 days. The dermal irritation index of New Zealand white rabbits is calculated as 0.00 and test compound can be classified under "Not Classified".

Conclusions:
The test compound when applied to the eye of New Zealand white rabbit at the dose level of 0.1 gm did not produced any lesions such as pannus, staining throughout the observation period of 72 hours. However some blood vessels of conjunctiva were observed hyperemic at 1 to 24th hour after the application of test substance.The test compound Sodium saccharin applied in conjunctival sac of rabbits did not show any observable clinical signs throughout the observation period of 21 days.
Based on above findings, it can be concluded that the test compound was non-irritating when applied in the amount of 0.1 gm in the conjunctival sac of the rabbits under test condition.
Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation study of the test chemical was conducted in New Zealand White Rabbit as per the OECD- 405 Guideline. 3 female young adult New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study.

 

One healthy rabbit of body weight 1.80kg±200gm was selected for study after acclimatization. Both eyes of rabbits were examined for any abnormal discharge such as eye irritation, ocular defects or pre-existing corneal injury from eye 24 hours prior to application of test compound. The test compound was applied in the conjunctival sac of rabbit after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball at the dose rate of0.1gm.The lids were then gently held for about one second in order to prevent loss of the material. The other eye which remain untreated, served as a control. The acute irritation to eye conjunctiva, cornea and iris was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animal was observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weight before and during the study was observed.

The test compound when applied to conjunctival sac of rabbit in the amount of 0.1gm produces some conjunctiva blood vessels hyperemic upto 24 hours.

The result obtained from the initial test was confirmed in additional two animal of same sex and same dose level

In the confirmatory test the test compound was applied in the amount of 0.1 gm in the conjunctival sac of two more rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The other eye which remain untreated, served as a control. The acute irritation to eye conjunctiva, cornea and iris was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hoursafter the treatment. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animals were observed normally for 21 days.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemical was observed in experimental studies. The results obtained from these studies indicate that the chemical is not likely to cause skin and eye irritation. Hence the test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified” for skin and eye as per CLP.
