Any other information on results incl. tables

A crimson-red conjunctival appearance was apparent in all animals throughout the first 48 hours after instillation persisting in two at the 72 hour examination; injection of the conjunctival blood vessels was apparent in all cases 24 hours later. Very slight to moderate chemosis was evident in all animals throughout the first 48 hours after instillation persisting in two at the 72 hour examination. Very slight to substantial discharge was also apparent during the first 72 hours after instillation.

Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity covering up to half the corneal surface were apparent in all animals 24 hours after instillation, persisting in one animal at the 48 hour examination and in the remaining animal at the 72 hour observation.

The treated eye of each animal was overtly normal 15 days after instillation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: slightly irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Kay and Calandra method (1962)
Conclusions:
The highest total mean score was 20.0 occurring at the 24 hour observation; accordingly under the criteria Kay and Calandra (1962) MPP was classified as “mildly irritating” to the eye.

At least 2 out of 3 animals showed a conjunctival redness score ≥2 and an oedema (chemosis) score ≥2 which was reversible within 21 days when. Calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation of the test material. MPP is therefore classified under CLP as Irritating to Eyes, Category 2.
