Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test article as a 6% w/v concentration in propylene glycol (0.1 ml) was applied to right eyes of 6 rabbits. Eyes were examined before testing and at 24, 48 and 72 hours and at 4 and 7 days. The irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
GLP compliance:
yes

Irritant / corrosive response data:
- No pannus, blistering of the conjunctivae or other effects indicative of corrosive action.
- Ulceration of the corneal surface was observed in 5 rabbits (A421, A446, A431, A450 and A442) at 24 hrs. All had resolved by d 7, except for a pinhead area in A421 which was still retaining dye.
Other effects:
- Rabbit A446 broke its right hind leg while in restraint but remained healthy throughout the study.
- All animals struggled for a short time when the test article was instilled, and tightly closed the dosed eye for 1 hr.
- No other abnormalities of health, behaviour or appearance were observed during the remainder of the study.
