Basis:
mean
Time point:
other: 24, 48, 72 h
Score:
0
Max. score:
0
Other effects:
ZK 5155 provoked slight to moderate transient irritations (vessel injection and secreation in 2/4 animals) on the rabbit eye after single interconjunctival application on the day of administration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Testosterone is not classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation 1272/2008/EC (CLP) criteria, based on no irritating potential in vivo of read-across substance androstenedione.
Executive summary:

There are no available eye irritation studies on testosterone. Results of a study conducted with a structurally similar compound (androstenedione, ZK5155) are reported and used for read-across.

ZK 5155 provoked slight to moderate transient irritations (vessel injection and secretion in 2/4 animals) on the rabbit eye after single interconjunctival application on the day of administration. ZK5155 is not regarded as an eye irritant.
