Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
Young adult New Zealand White rabbits (4M and 2F; 2229- 2404 g B Wt M and 2255 & 2455g B Wt F) were procured, maintained individually in screen-bottom cages in temperature and humidity controlled quarters (19-21ºC and 39-61% RH), provided access to water ad libitum and a measured amount of Purina High fiber Rabbit Chow and held for an acclimation period of at least 7 days. Animal husbandry and housing at HLA comply with standards outlined in the "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals."

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: contralateral eye used as control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1mL placed on the everted lower lid of one eye.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The eyes of the rabbits remained unflushed.
Observation period (in vivo):
The treated eyes were observed for ocular irritation at 24, 48, and 72 hours after treatment.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
6 rabbits
Details on study design:
Each rabbit received 0.1mL of the test material placed on the everted lower lid of one eye, with the contralateral eye serving as the untreated control. The upper and lower lid were gently held together for one second to prevent loss of material and then released. The eyes of the rabbits remained unflushed. The treated eyes were observed for ocular irritation at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. At the 72 hour reading, sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing corneal injury. Irritation was graded and scored according to the Draize technique. Animals were weighed just prior to the test material administration.

Executive summary:

Isodecyl Benzoate was evaluated for its primary eye irritation potential in male and female rabbits. Young adult New Zealand White rabbits (4M and 2F; 2229- 2404 g B Wt M and 2255 & 2455g B Wt F) were procured, maintained individually in screen-bottom cages in temperature and humidity controlled quarters (19-21ºC and 39-61% RH), provided access to water ad libitum and a measured amount of Purina High fiber Rabbit Chow, and held for an acclimation period of at least 7 days. Each animal was assigned a unique identification number and was identified with a metal ear tag. Animal husbandry and housing complied with standards outlined in the "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals." Animals were weighed just prior to the test material administration. Each rabbit received 0.1mL of the test material placed on the everted lower lid of one eye, with the contralateral eye serving as the untreated control. The upper and lower lid were gently held together for one second to prevent loss of material and then released. The eyes of the rabbits remained unflushed. The treated eyes were observed for ocular irritation at 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment. At the 72 hour reading, sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing corneal injury. Irritation was graded and scored according to the Draize technique.


 


The test material produced reversible slight to moderate conjunctival irritation during the study that was fully reversable by the 48h observation time point.
