Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Source: Charles River France, L’Arbresle, France
Number of Animals: 3 males
Age and body weight: At start of dosing, the animals were between 12 and 24 weeks old and body weights were at least 1.5 kg.
Identification: Earmark

Test system

Vehicle:
other: 41% in mineral oil
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single treatment into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 14 days after instillation.
Observation period (in vivo):
14 days
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3
Details on study design:
The study was performed in a stepwise manner and was started by treatment of a single rabbit (sentinel). The two other animals were treated in a similar manner 1 week later, after considering the degree of eye irritation observed in the first animal. One hour prior to instillation of the test item, buprenorphine (Buprenodale®, Dechra Ltd., Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom) 0.01 mg/kg was administered by subcutaneous injection in order to provide a therapeutic level of systemic analgesia.

Five minutes prior to instillation of the test item, two drops of the topical anesthetic alcaine 0.5% (SA Alcon-Couvreur NV, Puurs, Belgium) were applied to both eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test item caused serious eye irritation. Effects were fully reversible within 14 days.
Executive summary:

In an OECD 405 guideline study with Australian White Rabbits, the test substance caused serious eye irritation that was fully reversible within 14 days following installation into one eye of each of three rabbits. Slight dulling of the cornea was noted for all animals on Day 1 only. Treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorscein 24 hours after test item instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage. No iridial irritation was observed. Given these results, the test substance should be classified as Category 2A (irritation to eyes) based on GHS/CLP criteria.
