Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Ihe animais are caged individually and receive no hay or other extranous material that might enter the eyes

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: second eye serves as control
Amount / concentration applied:
- undiluted
- 100µL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Treatment: After installtion the upper and lower eye lid are then carefully clased and subsequently held together for at least one second before releasing, to prevent loss of material. The other eye remaining untreated, serves as a control.The eyes are not washed following instillation and the animals
are released immediately.
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes are examined at one hour, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test material.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2
Details on study design:
Ocular reactions are judged using the scoring seale as published by Draize and Kelley (Drug. Gosmet. Industr. 71 (1952) 36)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Conclusions:
From the present results it can be coneluded that the compound na. 77/767 is moderately irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

A eye irritation study according to the general techniques as published by the FDA of the(Fed. Reg. 28 (119), 5582, 1963) and Draize and Kelley (Drug Gasmet. Industr. 71 (1952) 36) was conducted to assess the eye irritation potential of TMPTA.

Therefore two New Zealand White albino rabbits received 100 milligrams of the test substance. No washout followed the instillation and the eyes are examined at one hour, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days. Ocular reactions are judged using the scoring scale as published by Draize and Kelley (Drug. Gosmet. Industr. 71 (1952) 36)

During the first day after instillation the eyes showed slight corneal damage, slight iritis and moderate to severe lesions of the conjunctivae.

In the course of the seven-day observation period the degree of corneal

damage increased. After seven days the following ocular lesions were observed: moderate or moderate-severe corneal opacity, slight iritis and moderate conjunctivitis.

Results are summarized as follows: eye irritation score (two animais used): 44

The author concluded that, according to the classification used, the test material is moderately irritating to the eye.
