Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- Himalayan
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Source: LPT Laboratory of Pharmacology and Toxicology GmbH & Co. KG, Branch Löhndorf, D-24601 Löhndorf/Post Wankendorf
- Age at study initiation: Approx. 6.5 to 8.5 months at dosing
- Weight at study initiation: 2.4 kg, 2.5 kg. 2.7 kg
- Housing: During the acclimatisation period and after the 8-hour period in restrainers after
application, the animals were kept singly in cages with dimensions of 380 mm x 425 mm x 600 mm (manufacturer: Dipl.Ing. W. EHRET GmbH, 16352 Schönwalde, Germany).
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 20 days
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS According to guideline
IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2012-01-24 To: 2012-02-17
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent no treatment
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 1 hour
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 1 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h.
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- Total of 3. In accordance with the guideline the test was performed initially using one animal. As no corrosive or severe irritant effects were observed in this animal, 2 further animals were
employed 24 hours after start of the initial test. - Details on study design:
- REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The eyes were rinsed with portions of 20 mL 0.9% aqueous NaCl solution, each.
- Time after start of exposure: 1 h.
SCORING SYSTEM:
- Cornea score: Opacity - degree of density (area most dense taken for reading)
- Iris score
- Conjunctivae score, redness: Refers to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae, excluding cornea and iris
- Chemosis score: Swelling - refers to lids and/or nictitating membranes
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Hand-slit lamp. 24 h after administration, fluorescein was
applied to the eyes before being examined to aid evaluation of the cornea for possible lesions.
