Description of key information
Skin irritation was confined to erythema and edema during the first 24 hours following 4 hours of occluded contact. Eschar formation and superficial necrosis were noted in 4 of 6 rabbits during the first week. Recovery occurred in most rabbits by Day 14. Eye irritation involving the conjunctiva and iris as well as corneal opacity were noted. These effects disappeared in 7-10 days. Inhalation exposure (acute and repeated) of rats elicited lacrymation, secretory increases and respiratory abnormalities but not histological changes in the respiratory tract.
Skin irritation
In
a study performed according to EPA guideline #OPP 81-5 and GLP (Auletta,
1985), 0.5 ml of tetrahydrothiophene was applied for 4 hours under an
occlusive dressing to the skin of 6 rabbits. Skin reactions were
evaluated 30 min, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7, 10 and 14 days after the
initial administration.
Tetrahydrothiophene produced only very slight (barely perceptible) to
slight (well-defined) erythema and edema at 4.5 hours, but in four of
the six animals tissue destruction (superficial necrosis and eschar
formation) became evident subsequently (between 24 hours and 7 days).
Two animals showed no tissue destruction and were free of significant
irritation within 2 to 10 days after test material application. Of the
four animals which developed necrosis and eschar formation, three
exhibited exfoliation of the eschar tissue with no significant residual
irritation by Day 10 or 14 and one continued to exhibit eschar tissue at
study termination (Day 14).
According to these results, tetrahydrothiophene should be considered as irritant for the skin.
Eye irritation
In
a study performed according to EPA guideline #OPP 81-4 and GLP (Auletta,
1985), 0.1 ml of tetrahydrothiophene was instillated in the conjunctival
sac of 6 rabbits. Eye reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7
and 10 days after the initial administration. No wash was performed
after application of the material.
Tetrahydrothiophene produced moderate to severe but reversible ocular
irritation. All six animals exhibited severe conjunctival irritation
(redness, chemosis, discharge, necrosis) and iritis and three exhibited
corneal opacity and ulceration. Three animals were noted to have hair
loss around the eye. The most severe conjunctival and iridial effects
occurred one hour after instillation of the test material and corneal
effects were most severe at 24 hours. Recovery was apparent, however,
and all six animals were free of ocular irritation within 7 to 10 days
after instillation of the test material. Mean scores over 24, 48 and 72h
were 2.27, 1.16, 0.11 and 0.55 for conjunctival redness and chemosis,
iritis and corneal opacity, respectively.
According to these results, tetrahydrothiophene should be considered as irritant for the eyes.
Respiratory tract
Lacrymation and nasal discharge were the most common clinical signs observed in acute (Terrill, 1986), sub-acute (Daly, 1986) and sub-chronique (Hardy, 1988) inhalation toxicity studies in rats. Histological signs of respiratory tract irritation were never observed.

- Amount / concentration applied:
- Amount applied: 0.1 ml
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The appropriate amount of the test material was introduced into the lower conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal. The upper and lower lids were gently held together for one second prior to releasing to prevent loss of material. The contralateral eye served as the control.
No wash was performed after application of the material. However, approximately 24 hours after application, the treated eye was rinsed to remove any residual test material. - Observation period (in vivo):
- - Intervals:
Approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 10 days after treatment, or until no signs of irritation were present.
- Method:
At interval the treated and control eyes were examined and scored for ocular reactions according to the Draize scale. Fluorescein dye was used to confirm presence or absence of corneal ulceration in treated eyes starting with the 24 hour observation and at each subsequent observation until there was no stain retention for two observations. Unusual effects such as pannus, blistering of the conjunctiva, ulceration and other effects indicative of corrosive action were also noted when present. - Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 6
- Details on study design:
- Preparation of Animals:
On the day before dosing, both eyes of each animal were examined using fluorescein dye to check for presence of corneal ulceration. Just prior to test substance application, the eyes were examined again, but without fluorescein. Animals showing pre-existing corneal or conjunctival injury or irritation were not placed on study. - Irritation parameter:
