Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the classification criteria laid down in the Commission Directive 93/21/EEC the test item is not required to be classified as irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation of CTFEP (purity 91.4%) to rabbit (New Zealand White) was determined in a GLP compliant test according to OECD 405 and EU Method B.5 (Griffon 2001). Since the study was performed under GLP and according the guideline and based on the good documentation the study was awarded with Klimisch 1. For the acute eye irritation testing in 3 male rabbits (approx. weight of 2777 to 2920g at the start of the test) 100 mg test item was administered to the conjunctional sac of the left eye after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The untreated right eye served as control.

 

The eyes were examined according the EU specifications after addition of fluorescein. Two animals showed no adverse reaction after addition of the test item within 72 hours and were subsequently sacrificed. For the third animal slight chemosis (grade 2), very slight redness of the conjunctivae (grade 1) and clear discharge were observed on day 1; very slight chemosis (grade 1) persisted up to day 7. In this animal alopecia was also recorded between day 2 and 10.

Mean scores calculated for the three animals over 24, 48, and 72 hours were 0 for coronal opacity, 0 for iris lesions, 0.4 for chemosis and 0 for redness of the conjunctiva.

 

There were no remarkable clinical observations during the study.

 

It can be concluded that under the experimental conditions the test substance is non irritant when administered by ocular route to rabbits.

 

According to the classification criteria laid down in the Commission Directive 93/21/EEC the test item is not required to be classified as irritating to the eye.
