Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test substance is applied in a single dose in the conjunctival sac of one eye of each animal. The other eye, which remains untreated, serves as a control.
The ocular irritation scores were evaluated in conjunction with the nature and severity of lesions, and their reversibility or lack of reversibility. The individual scores do not represent an absolute standard for the irritant properties of a material, as other effects of the test material are also evaluated.

GLP compliance:
yes

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
-Source: Mellor Rabbits, Chadderton Heights, Chadderton, Nr Oldham, Greater, Manchester, UK
-Age at study initiation: between 11 and 17 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5-3.51Kg
- Housing: individually in satinised aluminium sheet cages
- Diet: Labsure CR6 Rabbit Diet ad libidum
- Water: via an automatic system ad libidum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 16-20°C
- Humidity: 43-80 %
- Photoperiod: 12 hours cycle dark/lights maintained at a temperature

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
Approximately 100 mg.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
100 mg of the test substance was applied into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each rabbit. The lid was held 1-2 sec. and the animals were released. The other eye remaining untreated served as control. The eyes of 3 of the rabbits were irrigated for approximately 2 min. with 200 mL of clean lukewarm water, beginning 30-60sec. after the application of the test substance.
Observation period (in vivo):
The animals were observed for up to 7 days after application of the test substance.
