Irritant / corrosive response data:
Instillation of the test substance resulted in effects on the cornea, iris and conjuctivae. The corneal injury consisted of opacity (maximum grade 1) and epithelial damage (maximum 50% of the corneal area) in two (of the three) animals. The corneal injury had resolved within 7 days. Iridial irritation grade 1 was observed and had resolved within 24 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the remaining animals. The irritation of the conjunctivae consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge and had completely resolved within 72 hours in one animals and within 14 days in the other two animals.
Other effects:
No clinical signs of toxicity noted

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
MPKO was determined to be irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation/corrosion study was performed with MPKO in rabbit according to OECD Guideline 405. Single samples of 0.1 mL of test item were instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 14 days after instillation. Instillation of the test substance resulted in effects on the cornea, iris and conjuctivae. The corneal injury consisted of opacity (maximum grade 1) and epithelial damage (maximum 50% of the corneal area) in two (of the three) animals. The corneal injury had resolved within 7 days. Iridial irritation grade 1 was observed and had resolved within 24 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the remaining animals. The irritation of the conjunctivae consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge and had completely resolved within 72 hours in one animal and within 14 days in the other two animals. The mean 24 -72 h scores for each animal were determined to be as follows: Corneal opacity: 0, 1.0, 1.0; Iris: 0, 0.7, 0.7; Redness: 0,7, 2.3, 2.0; Chemosis: 0.3, 1.3, 1.3. Based on these results the test substance was determined to be irritating to the eyes.
