Conclusions

DOT:Not corrosive, NoEPA:NotGHS:Not packing group assignment Classified Classified

 

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the consition of the study, the primary irritation index (PII) of the test item was 0.4, following exposure to clipped rabbit skin under semi-occlusive condition. The test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixture.
Executive summary:

OECD 404 (2016) -the irritant or corrosive effects of the test article was assessed following application to the clipped skin of white New Zealand rabbit. The test article (0.5 g) was applied dermally to Site 1 for exposure period of 3 minutes under occlusive patch. Since the reaction of the initial animal did not produce a corrosive or severely irritating effect, two additional animals (one female and one male) were added to the study. All three animals were dosed at Site 2 for an exposure period of one hour and Site 3 for an exposure period of four hours. Erythema and edema were scored at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal for the one and four-hour exposures. Animals were observed for mortality, toxicological and pharmacological effects at least once daily. Body weights were recorded pre-test and at termination.

No abnormal physical or systemic signs were observed among all three animals. Two animals gained weight and one study animal lost weight by study termination. No mortality reported.

Very slight erythema and oedema was noted within 24 hours post exposure and it was fully reversible. The Primary Irritation Index (PII) of theist item was reported as 0.4.

Under the condition of the study, it was concluded that test item was not corrosive and does not cause irritation to the rabbits’ skin. Therefore, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixture.

Systemic Observations:

Diminished fecal output and feed consumption were observed.

Because transient inappetence is frequently observed in rabbits and other animals following administration of Buprenorphine, and the animal appeared otherwise normal and maintained body weight throughout the study, there is no evidence that this finding is test article-related.

Body Weights:

Two animals’ body weights remained the same. One animal gained weight by study termination.

CONCLUSIONS

OECD 405:Ocular Irritant

EU:Not Classified

GHS:Not Classified

US EPA:Category III

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the condition of the study the test item did not produce any evidence of ocular irritation or corrosivity and therefore does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixture.
Executive summary:

OECD 405 - 2016: Three healthy New Zealand White rabbits (two males and one female), free from evidence of ocular irritation and corneal abnormalities, were placed on the study. An analgesic, Buprenorphine, was administered at 0.1 mg/kg subcutaneously between the shoulder blades approximately one hour prior to instillation of the test article. A dose of 0.1 ml equivalent (36 mg) of the test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each rabbit. The eyes were examined pre-test and scored by the Draize technique at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation. The control eyes were observed at the same time periods. Sodium fluorescein dye procedures were used at the 24-hour observation interval. Animals were evaluated for mortality, toxicity and pharmacological effects twice daily. Body weights were recorded pre-test and at termination.

Diminished fecal output and feed consumption were observed. Because transient inappetence is frequently observed in rabbits and other animals following administration of Buprenorphine, and the animal appeared otherwise normal and maintained body weight throughout the study, there is no evidence that this finding is test article-related. Two animals’ body weights remained the same. One animal gained weight by study termination. No evidence of corrosively or irritation was observed.

Under the condition of the study the test item did not produce any evidence of ocular irritation or corrosivity and therefore  does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixture.

Additional information

Skin Irritation/Corrosion: OECD 404: - the irritant or corrosive effects of the test article was assessed following application to the clipped skin of white New Zealand rabbit. The test article (0.5 g) was applied dermally to Site 1 for exposure period of 3 minutes under occlusive patch. Very slight erythema and oedema was noted within 24 hours post exposure and it was fully reversible. The Primary Irritation Index (PII) of theist item was reported as 0.4. Under the condition of the study, it was concluded that the test item was non-corrosive and does not cause irritation to the rabbits’ skin.

Eye Irritation/Corrosion: OECD 405:  - Three healthy New Zealand White rabbits (two males and one female), free from evidence of ocular irritation and corneal abnormalities, were placed on the study. An analgesic, Buprenorphine, was administered at 0.1 mg/kg subcutaneously between the shoulder blades approximately one hour prior to instillation of the test article. A dose of 0.1 ml equivalent (36 mg) of TX16352 was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each rabbit. Conjunctivae redness, chemosis & discharge was observed up 48-hours post exposure but was cleared after 72 hours. No Cornea opacity or iritis observed. Under the condition of the study the test item did not produce any evidence of ocular irritation or corrosivity.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance does not meet the criteria for local toxicity classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008; relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixture.
