Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival irritation consisting of redness ranging from some vessels definitely injected to diffuse, cimson red. Individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in the treated eyes of all animals during the 1 and 4 hour observations. Corneal ulceration was noted and confirmed using fluorescein stain in one animal at the 24 hour observation. The eyes of all rabbits were clear of any signs of irritation by day 7 and the study was terminated.

The total draize score during the study ranged from 0 to 6.
Other effects:
There were no animal deaths noted prior to study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2B (mildly irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Conjunctival irritation consisting of redness ranging from some vessels definitely injected to diffuse, cimson red. Individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in the treated eyes of all animals during the 1 and 4 hour observations. Corneal ulceration was noted and confirmed using fluorescein stain in one animal at the 24 hour observation. The eyes of all rabbits were clear of any signs of irritation by day 7 and the study was terminated.

The total draize score during the study ranged from 0 to 6.
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of MRD-83-306 was evaluated following a single 0.1 ml instillation to the right eye of 6 rabbits. The treated eyes of all animals remained unwashed. Observations for signs of ocular irritation and toxicity were made as 1, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation and once per day on days 4 and 7. Ocular reactions were graded according to the Draize scale for scoring ocular lesions. Body weights were recorded on the day of dosing. After day 7 observations all animals were euthanised with an IV injection of T-61.

 

Ocular exposure to MRD-83-306 resulted in conjunctival irritation consisting of redness. Individual vessels not easily discernible in all animals at the 1 and 4 hour observations. Corneal ulceration was noted and confirmed using fluorescein stain at the 24 hour observation. All animals were clear of any signs of irritation by day 7.
