Test animals / tissue source
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- 3 females
Test system
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent negative control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.1 g in conjunctival sac
- Observation period (in vivo):
- 72 hours
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- A 0.1 g sample of undiluted Imexine OAG was instilled in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal. The eye was not rinsed-off after instillation of the test item, and the untreated right eye served as control. The ocular reactions were assessed 1 hour, 24, 48, and 72 hours after
instillation.

- Reversibility:

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- A slight swelling and a slight redness of conjunctivae were noted 1 hour after instillation of Imexine OAG. At 24 and 48 hours, animals showed significant swelling with eyelids half or completely closed. At 72 hours, a marked decrease in chemosis was observed. At 24 through 72 hours, significant redness was noted. Grading of the iris was not possible resulting from corneal opacity. From 1 hour after instillation, corneal translucency was easily identifiable. The cumulative mean indices of chemosis, redness, and cornea were 3.33, 2.00, and 2.33, respectively.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Imexine OAG is an irritant to rabbit eyes when tested undiluted
