1,2,3-propanetriyl tris[12-(acetoxy)octadecanoate]

Cas Number:

139-43-5

Molecular formula:

C63H116O12

IUPAC Name:

propane-1,2,3-triyl tris(12-acetoxyoctadecanoate)

Test material form:

liquid

Test animals / tissue source

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

0.1 ml

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 hours

Observation period (in vivo):

7 days

Details on study design:

Six (6) New Zealand white rabbits, free from visible ocular defects, each received a single intraocular application of 0.1 milliliter of the test article in one eye. The contralateral eye, remaining untreated, served as a control. The eyes of all animals remained unwashed for 24 hours. Observations of corneal opacity, iritis, and conjunctivitis were recorded 20, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, and at 4 and 7 days if irritation persisted. The test article was used as received.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The test material is not an ocular irritant to rabits under the conditions of the test.

Executive summary:

In this guideline equivalent study (EPA OPP 81 -4), conducted prior to the adoption of the OECD principles of GLP in 1992, the test material (EC 205-363-0) was not considered an ocular irritant to the rabbit. Six New Zealand White rabbits were treated with 0.1ml of the unchanged substance in one eye, the contralateral eye served as a control. Rabbits were observed for corneal opacity, iritis, and conjunctivitis at 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment, and again 4 day and 7 days after treatment. Results were scored accoring to the Draize criteria. The test material induced a mean overal irritation score of 0.3 at 24 hours, this was fully reversible at the 48 hour observation.
