Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
1956
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study was not performed under GLP and no scores were made, therefore the results can not be exactly quantitatively judged. However as a weight-of-evidence study, the iformation is valuable to confrim in vitro results.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
There was copious lacrimation shortly after application of the dose, and a moderate degree of conjunctivitis and edema of the lids developed within four hours. A slight opalescence of the cornea was present in one case. The erythema and edema subsided during the 24 hours following the dose, and was not observed after this time. Lacrimation continued to be evident in the case of the animal noted. From the third day till the end of a total 7-day observation period, all eyes maintained a normal appearance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
3.5 mg active ingredient was slightly irritating to the rabbit eye.
Executive summary:

Approximately 10 mg of the test item containing 35% active ingredient was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of five albino rabbits. The lids were held closed for about 30 seconds following introduction of the dose, and the eye was examined immediately thereafter and again at intervals over the next several days. There was copious lacrimation shortly after application of the dose, and a moderate degree of conjunctivitis and edema of the lids developed within four hours. A slight opalescence of the cornea was present in one case. The erythema and edema subsided during the 24 hours following the dose, and was not observed after this time. Lacrimation continued to be evident in the case of the animal noted. From the third day till the end of a total 7-day observation period, all eyes maintained a normal appearance.
