TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Kitayama Labes CO., Ltd.
- Age at study initiation: 10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 1920 to 2102 g
- Housing: Aluminium cages (W318xH358xD498) with stainless steel cascade racks, one animal per cage.
- Diet (ad libitum): Pellet diet (LRC4, Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.), each lot was analysed: contaminants were confirmed to be within acceptable limits established by the test facility.
- Water (ad libitum): Well water admixed with sodium hypochlorite (about 0.2 ppm). Analysed every 6 months: contaminants were confirmed to be within acceptable limits in compliance with the waterworks law, Japan.
- Acclimation period: 6 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- Humidity (%): 50.6-73.2
- Air changes (per hr): 10 to 20
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: the untreated eye

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Once dosed, the treated eye was left unwashed in three animals, while in three other animals about 30 seconds after administration the treated eye was washed with distilled water.

Observation period (in vivo):

1, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after administration

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

6

Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: in 3 of 6 animals, the eye was washed with about 20 ml/eye of distilled water for 30 seconds at a flow rate not damaging to the eye.
- Time after start of exposure: 30 sec.

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize evaluation criteria (acc to OECD 405), Kay & Calandra's ocular irritation evaluation criteria.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: at observations 24 hours after administration, the treated eye was observed first by a slit lamp. One drop of fluorescein sodium solution prepared with water for injection to 2 w/v% was then instilled into the cornea and 2-3 seconds later the cornea was washed with about 20 ml of distilled water. The presence or absence of any injury in the cornea was examined again by a slit lamp.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Conjunctival redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 were observed in all animals of eye unwashed animals at 1 hour after administration. These changes disappeared by 24 hours after administration in all animals. In eye washed animals, conjunctival redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 were observed in two animals, and conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge of score 1 was observed in one animal at 1 hour after administration. These changes disappeared by 24 hours after administration in all animals. Maximum mean total score (MMTS according to Kay & Calandra)) for unwashed and washed eyes was 8 and 7.3, respectively. 24 hours after administration and onward, pigmentation of conjunctiva and partial cornea considered to be test substance related was noted in all animals. The pigmentation in the partial cornea disappeared by 96 hours after administration.

Other effects:

No clinical signs or abnormal body weight gain was observed in any animal throughout the observation period. Observation of the cornea using fluorescein sodium solution revealed no stain spot in any animal.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

E-C104 had a minimal irritation potential to the rabbit eye under the conditions of this study (OECD 405): irritation occured only after 1 hr and was fully reversible within 24 hours.

Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation or corrosion potential of E-C104 was assessed in six (3 eye unwashed and 3 eye washed animals) male New Zealand White rabbits. The test substance (0.1 g) was instilled into the right eye of the animal. As a result, conjunctival redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 was observed in all animals of eye unwashed animals at 1 hour after administration. These changes were fully reversible within 24 hours. In the eye washed animals conjuncitval redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 were observed in two animals, and conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge of score 1 were observed in one animal at 1 hour after administration. These effects were also fully reversible within 24 hours. The MMTS of the eye unwashed and washed animals was 8 and 7.3, respectively, showing no effect of the eye washing. Pigmentation of the conjunctivae was noted in all animals. In conclusion, E-C104 had minimal eye irritation potential to the rabbit eye under the conditions of this study.
