Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Remarks:
- albino rabbit, Chbb: NZW (SPF)
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Chemical pharmaceutical factory Dr. K. Thomae, Biberach, Germany
- Weight at study initiation: 2.1 - 3.9 kg
- Housing: in fully air-conditioned rooms in separate cages arranged in a battery
- Diet: commercial (ssniff K-H (V2333)), ad libitum and hay (approx. 15 g daily)
- Water: from automatic water dispensers, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 1 week
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 50 ± 20
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
IN-LIFE DATES: From: 21 - 31 May 1996
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: the untreated eye served as control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 100 mg of the unchanged test substance was applied once to the conjunctival sac of the left eye. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- Single instillation
- Observation period (in vivo):
- The eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. At 24 and 72 hours as well as after 7 days, the eyes were also examined for corneal lesions under UV light after instillation of one drop of 0.01% fluorescein sodium solution.
- Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
24 hours after application and at all other designated examination times at which the treated eyes still showed discharge or at which a corneal examination with fluorescein sodium solution took place, the treated eyes were washed out thoroughly with isotonic saline at approx. 37 °C.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein
About 24 hours before the start of the study the test eyes of all animals were examined under UV light for corneal lesions after instillation of one drop of a 0.01% fluorescein-sodium solution. Only animals without ocular abnormalities were used.
