Irritant / corrosive response data:

The following were observed in treated rabbits.Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals; Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids was observed in animal no. 2.Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals; Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids was observed in all the animals.At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 30%, 30% and 40% damage in animal no. 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Corneal epithelium cell damage had reversed 0% in all the treated animals on at 72 hours observation period.Observation at 48 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals; Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids was observed in all the animals.Observation at 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals; Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in all the animals.Observation on day 7 after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals; Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in all the animals.Observation on day 14 after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea- No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals; Area of Opacity- Zero in all the animals; Iris: Normal in all the animals; Conjunctivae - Blood vessels normal was observed in all the animals; Chemosis: No swelling (Normal) was observed in all the animals.The individual mean score of treated animals for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.67; 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.67, and 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.67, respectively.

Other effects:

Clinical ObservationNo systemic toxicity was observed in treated rabbits during the experimental period.MortalityNo mortality was observed during the observation period.Body weightBody weights were increased as compared to day 0 in all the three animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2A (irritating to eyes)

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the experimental conditions tested, all the three animals were fully irreversible within an observation period of 14 days. Hence under the experimental test conditions, Reaction mass of Cardanol diene and Cardanol monoene and Cardanol triene (CAS No. – 37330-39-5) is An Eye Irritant “Irritating to Eyes” of New Zealand White Male rabbit eyes and is being classified as Eye irritant 2.

Executive summary:

Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Study ofCardanol (CAS No. – 37330-39-5)in Rabbits, sponsored by was conducted. This study was performed as per OECD guideline no. 405.

Observation on day 14 after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was observed in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae -Blood vessels normal was observed in all the animals;Chemosis:No swelling (Normal) was observed in all the animals.

The individual mean score of treated animals for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3at 24, 48, 72 hours (treated site)for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.67; 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.67, and 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.67, respectively.

Under the experimental conditions tested, all the three animals were fully irreversiblewithin an observation period of 14 days. 

Hence under the experimental test conditions, Reaction mass of Cardanol diene and Cardanol monoene and Cardanol triene  (CAS No. – 37330-39-5)is An Eye Irritant “Irritating to Eyes” of New Zealand White Male rabbit eyes.
