Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Obtained from Highgate Farm, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire, England.
- Age at study initiation: Approximately 12 to 15 weeks of age, prior to treatment (Day 1).
- Weight at study initiation: 2.88 - 3.18 kg
- Housing: The rabbits were housed individually in plastic cages with perforated floors.
- Diet: Each rabbit was offered 125 g of a standard laboratory rabbit diet (Rabbit GD Diet Pellets supplied by Highgate Farm) per day. A dietary supplement of hay was offered during acclimatisation until two days prior to dose instillation, for the remainder of acclimatisation and throughout the study observation period whole-meal bread was offered.
- Water: Drinking water was provided ad libitum.
- Acclimation period: Approximately two to three weeks prior to the start of the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 16 to 20 deg C
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70%
- Air changes (per hr): Not applicable
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Lighting was controlled by means of a time switch to give 12 hours of artificial light (06:00 to 18:00 GMT) in each 24 hour period.

IN-LIFE DATES:
- From: 2007-03-07 To: 2007-03-23

Test system

Vehicle:
not specified
Controls:
other: The untreated eye was used as a comparison with the treated eye during assessment of ocular lesions.
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): Administered a single ocular dose of a volume of 0.1 mL of the test substance weighing approximately 65 mg.
- The specific gravity of the test substance was approximated and the weight of VRT-753136 hcl that occupied 0.1mL was determined. Aliquots of this weight were prepared.


VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): no data
- Concentration (if solution): no data
- Lot/batch no. (if required): no data
- Purity: no data
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single ocular dose
Observation period (in vivo):
8 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three rabbits
Details on study design:
Treatment Procedure:
- The eyes of each animal were examined prior to instillation of the test substance to ensure that there was no pre-existing corneal damage, iridial inflammation or conjunctival irritation. Each animal was gently restrained. The dose was instilled into the right eye by pulling the lower eyelid away from the eye ball to form a cup into which the test substance was dropped. The eyelids were then gently held together for one second before releasing; the left eye remained untreated.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: no data
- Time after start of exposure: no data

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Eye irritation scoring was performed according to Draize and is described in the Table for "Grading of Ocular Lesions" in OECD guideline 405.



TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
- An ophthalmoscope and a pencil beam torch were used to facilitate inspection of the eyes.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Injection of the conjunctival blood vessels was apparent during the first 24 hours after instillation; slight or moderate discharge was evident at the one hour observation. The treated eye of all animals were overtly normal 48 hours after instillation.
Instillation of the test substance gave rise to a moderate initial pain response in the sentinel animal; local ocular anaesthesia (1% amethocaine hydrochloride) was employed for the subsequent animals.
Other effects:
There was no sign of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.
