TEST ANIMALS
- Source: King's Wheel Rabbitry
- Age at study initiation: Young adult

- Housing: Singly in wire mesh suspension cages.
- Diet: Ad libitum
- Water: Ad libitum
- Acclimation period: Animals were acclimated to the laboratory for at least one day prior to the test.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 25/09/1990 To: 08/10/1990

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: The untreated eye of each animal was used as a control.
Amount / concentration applied:
A dose of 0.083 g was applied.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 h
Observation period (in vivo):
Eyes were examined and graded for ocular reaction at approximately 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 74 h after application. Except for the 1 h observation and only in corneal opacity scores of 2 or less are noted, the eyes will be scored again for corneal opacity intensity and area using fluorescein.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Six (3 males, 3 females)
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The eyes of the animals were rinsed.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Fluorescein staining and ultra violet illumination.

Remarks on result:
other: Maximum total irritation scores for individual animals ranged from 8 to 33.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material produced corneal opacity which had cleared by Day 10, iritis that with some fluctuation ultimately cleared by Day 10 and conjunctival irritation which had cleared by Day 13. Maximum total irritation scores for individual animals ranged from 8 to 33.
No evidence of corrosion was noted.

 aA = degree of opacity; B = Area affected; C = erythema; D = swelling; E = discharge


bScoring key


ctotal score is the sum of the following three sub-totals, with a maximum score of 110; (/) = score without/with sodium fluorescein:


1. Degree of opacity x area involved x 5


2. Iris score x 5


3. (Sum of scores for erythema, swelling and discharge) x 2


dDue to the nature and the amount of the sample dosed, a small amount was lost on dosing each rabbit.


W = White sample-like material throughout the eye


M = viscous, white material in the lower lid of the eye


G = Blistered appearance to the conjunctiva


T = Thickened appearance to the conjunctiva


P = Eye gently pried open prior to scoring


R = At the time of scoring, upon manipulation of the eyelid, the lower conjunctiva exhibited a moderate amount of blood-like material exuding from the conjunctival tissue.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category II
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The primary ocular irritancy of XPI-187 zinc borate was evaluated in compliance with the conditions specified in the regulation for the enforcement of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (40 CFR) the Toxic Substances Control Act (40 CFR) and the OECD guidelines.
The test material produced corneal opacity which had cleared by Day 10, iritis that with some fluctuation ultimately cleared by Day 10 and conjunctival irritation which had cleared by Day 13. Maximum total irritation scores for individual animals ranged from 8 to 33. No evidence of corrosion was noted. The test material was classified in Toxicity Category II (40 CFR 156, proposed) by ocular administration.
