- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- All animals showed erythema and edema formation (highest score of 3) at the 24 and 72 hr observations on both intact and abraded skin. All animals also showed edema formation (highest score of 2) at the 24 and 72 hr observations on both intact and abraded skin. All but one animals showed denuded skin and/or exfoliation at the 14 day observation on both intact and abraded skin. No edema was seen on any animal at the day 14 observation.
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- None of the 6 rabbits exhibited eschar formation on day 14 of the observation period. None of the reaction that typify skin corrosive, as noted in the ECHA Guidance, including ulcers, bleeding, bloody scabs, skin discoloration/blanching, alopecia, or hyperkeratosis were reported in any of the animals, and the effects of apritone on the skin were clearly reversible in this study. The test substance is therefore classified as a skin irritant.
- Executive summary:
Bioresearch (1991) performed a test for skin corrosion/irritation following the procedures specified in USA Federal Hazardous Substances Act (16CFR 1500.41). Accordingly, Bioresearch (1991) applied apritone to the clipped skin on both sides of the bodies New Zealand White rabbits (n=6). The surface of the skin on one side of each rabbit was abraded through the stratum corneum without disturbing the dermis or causing bleeding, and the skin on the other side was left intact before applying the test article (0.5 ml apritone, neat, to each side). A gauze patch (1 in.2; 6.45 cm2) was then applied to each site of exposed skin, and an occlusive bandage was wrapped around the trunk of each animal and secured with elastic tape. The tape, bandage and gauze were removed after a 24-hour exposure period, and the sites were wiped with deionized water. The sites were scored, using the Draize method approximately 24 hours and again 72 hours after apritone was applied to the skin (i.e., 30 to 60 minutes and again 48 hours after patch removal).
Bioresearch (1991) presented the primary skin irritation scores of each rabbit. Two of the 6 rabbits scored 3 (moderate to severe erythema ) for erythema/eschar formation at the 24-hour (intact and abraded skin) and 72-hour (abraded skin only) observation points. All other scores were 2 (well defined erythema). None of the rabbits scored 4 (severe erythema to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema) for erythema/eschar formation at either observation point.
One rabbit scored 1 (very slight, barely perceptible) for edema of both intact and abraded skin and another rabbit scored 1 only on the intact skin at the 72-hour observation point. All of the other scores were 2 (slight edema, edges of are well defined by definite raising) at both the 24-hour and 72-hour observation points.
Bioresearch calculated the average erythema/eschar formation scores and edema scores across the 6 rabbits for both intact skin and abraded skin, and then calculated a primary skin irritation index (PII) based on these averages, in accordance with 16CFR 1500.41. Thus, Bioresearch (1991) reported an overall PII of 4.12 for apritone from the results of this study. The PII is 4.08 if only the averages for abraded skin are excluded from the calculation.
The highest average individual scores for were 3 for erythema/eschar formation (in two of the six rabbits) and 2 for edema (in intact skin of 5 of the six rabbits at the 24-hour observation point; in intact skin of 4 of the six rabbits at the 72-hour observation point).
Bioresearch examined and scored the exposed skin again 7-days and 14 days after apritone had been applied, because signs of irritation persisted at the 72-hour observation period. One rabbit scored 1 (very slight, barely perceptible) for edema, and that score was only for the 7-day observation point and was the same for the intact and abraded skin of that single rabbit. One rabbit exhibited remnants of eschar formation on observation day 7, although no score was given for erythema/echar formation in this animal, most probably because the eschar observed was not accompanied by evidence of erythema. All of the other scores were 0 for both erythema/eschar formation and edema at both the 7-day and 14-day observation points.
However, Bioresearch (1991)These authors also noted the following:
- Observation Day 7
- Exfoliation of intact and abraded skin in 4 of 6 animals
- Exfoliation and denudation only on abraded skin in 1 of 6 animals
- Eschar formation in intact and abraded skin in 1 of 6 animals
- Observation Day 14
- Exfoliation of intact and abraded skin in 2 animals
- Exfoliation of intact skin and denudation of abraded skin in 1 animal
- Exfoliation and denudation of both intact and abraded skin in 1 animal
- Denudation of both intact and abraded skin in 1 animal
None of the 6 rabbits exhibited eschar formation on day 14 of the observation period.
None of the reaction that typify skin corrosive, as noted in the ECHA Guidance (2017b), including ulcers, bleeding, bloody scabs, skin discoloration/blanching, alopecia, or hyperkeratosis were reported in any of the animals, and the effects of apritone on the skin were clearly reversible in this study.

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Methyl apritone did not produce irritation in the eyes of rabbits. The substance is not irritating to the eye. Thus, the GHS criteria for classification are not met.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of methyl apritone was tested in an OPPTS Series 870.2400 experiment. 0.1 mL of test substance was added to the eyes of three rabbits. The untreated eye was used as a negative control. Observations of the animals were performed at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hrs post dosing. No signs of irritation were seen in any animal at any of the observations. The test substance is therefore not irritating to the eye. The GHS criteria for classification is not met.

- Conclusions:
- The source substance methyl apritone did not produce irritation in the eyes of rabbits. The substance is not irritating to the eye. Thus, the GHS criteria for classification are not met. Apritone is therefore not expected to be irritating to the eye.
- Executive summary:
The eye irritation potential of the source substance methyl apritone was tested in an OPPTS Series 870.2400 experiment. 0.1 mL of test substance was added to the eyes of three rabbits. The untreated eye was used as a negative control. Observations of the animals were performed at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hrs post dosing. No signs of irritation were seen in any animal at any of the observations. The test substance is therefore not irritating to the eye. The GHS criteria for classification is not met. Apritone is therefore not expected to be irritating to the eye.

- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS
Tissue around the eyeball was carefully pulled away. Cornea was excised to 2-3 mm rim of sclera. These were then stored in petri dishes containing HBSS. They were then mounted in corneal holders. The corneal holders were filled with RPMI 1640 medium without phenol red, but with 1% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine. Posterior chambers were filled first. Corneas were then incubated for 1 hr at 32 degrees C.
