- Amount / concentration applied:
- Five-tenths of a gram of the test substance (0.67g of the prepared test mixture) was placed on a 1-inch x 1-inch, 4-ply gauze pad and applied to one 6-cm2 intact dose site on each animal. The pad and entire trunk of each animal were then wrapped with semi-occlusive 3-inch Micropore tape to avoid dislocation of the pad. Elizabethan collars were placed on each rabbit and they were returned to their designated cages.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- After 4 hours of exposure to the test substance, the pads and collars were removed and the test sites were gently cleansed with a 3% soap solution followed by tap water and a clean paper towel to remove any residual test substance.
- Observation period:
- Individual dose sites were scored according to the Draize scoring system at approximately 30-60 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7, 10 and 14 days after patch removal
- Number of animals:
- 3 female rabbits were used. They were nulliparous and non-pregnant.
- Details on study design:
- On the day before application, a group of animals was prepared by clipping the dorsal area and the trunk. On the day of dosing, but prior to application, the animals were examined for health and the skin checked for any abnormalities. Three healthy, naive animals (not previously tested) without pre-existing skin irritation were selected for test.

- Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
- Animals: Females, 13-16 weeks of age, 2521-3028 g in weight at beginning of the experiment. Obtained from Robinson Services Inc. (supplier).
Housing: The animals were singly housed in suspended stainless steel caging which conforms
to the size recommendations in the most recent Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (Natl. Res. Council, 2011). Enrichment (e.g.,toy) was placed in each cage. Litter paper was placed beneath the cage and was changed at least three times per week.
Temperature: 20-23 degrees C, Humidity: 54-60%
Photoperiod: 12-hour light/dark cycle
Acclimation Period: 12 or 47 days
Food: EnvigoTeklad Global High Fiber Rabbit Diet®#2031, 150 g/day provided to each animal, along with a Premium Timothy Cube(TM) (Ontario Dehy Inc.).
Water: Filtered tap water was supplied ad libitum
. - Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- One-tenth of a milliliter (0.042 grams) of the test substance was instilled into the eye. The test substance was ground into fine pieces using a spatula.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 0.042 grams of the test substance was instilled into the right eye of each rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. Observations were then taken over the next 72 hours.
- Observation period (in vivo):
- Ocular irritation was evaluated using a white light source in accordance with the Draize method of scoring 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Prior to test initiation, both eyes of a group of animals were examined using a white light source and a fluorescein dye procedure. One drop of ophthalmic fluorescein sodium dye was instilled into both eyes of each rabbit. The eyes were rinsed with physiological saline (0.9% NaCl) after instillation of the fluorescein and then evaluated for corneal damage using an ultraviolet light source. Prior to test substance instillation, the eyes were re-examined and scored for abnormalities according to the "Scale for Scoring Ocular Lesions" (Draize et al., 1944). Three healthy, naive animals (not previously tested) without pre-existing ocular irritation were selected for test.
A systemic analgesic (Buprenorphine SR®) was administered to relieve potential discomfort associated with eye irritation which provides therapeutic relief for periods of up to 76 hours. Prior to test substance instillation, 0.1 mg/kg of body weight of the analgesic was administered to the animals and at appropriate intervals to maintain therapeutic blood levels.
The test substance, as received, was a solid. Attempts to grind the test substance with a mortar and pestle prior to instillation were unsuccessful. The test substance was ground into fine pieces using a spatula.
Prior to instillation, 1-2 drops of ocular anesthetic (Tetracaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution USP, 0.5%) were placed into both the treated and control eye of each animal.
One-tenth of a milliliter (0.042 grams) of the test substance was then instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit by pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower lids were then gently held together for about one second before releasing to minimize loss of the test substance. The other eye of each rabbit remained untreated with the test substance and served as a control. The rabbits were then returned to their designated cages.
Ocular irritation was evaluated using a white light source in accordance with the Draize method of scoring (Draize et al., 1944) at 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours post-instillation. The fluorescein dye evaluation procedure described in Section 5.A. was used in the treated eye at 24 hours to verify the absence of corneal damage. Individual scores were recorded for each animal. In addition to observations of the cornea, iris and conjunctivae, any other observed lesions were noted. The average score for all rabbits at each scoring period was calculated to aid in data interpretation.
The time interval with the highest mean score (Maximum Mean Total Score - MMTS) for all rabbits was used to classify the test substance by the system of Kay and Calandra (Kay & Calandra, 1962).
The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and behavioral changes at least once daily during the test period.
Individual weights of animals were recorded shortly before instillation of the test substance (initial) and at the completion of testing (terminal). Additional body weights were taken to determine the appropriate amount of analgesic. These additional body weights were recorded in the raw data but are not reported.
Once testing was complete, the animals were released for euthanasia and humanely euthanized. - Irritation parameter:

Additional information
In an OECD 404 GLP study, n-ODSA EC 701-338-8 was found to be moderately irritating to the skin of rabbits after 4 hours of semi-occlusive exposure, displaying erythema and edema throughout 72 hours. The effect was reversible by the end of 14 days.
Transient mild conjunctival irritation after instillation of the substance into eyes of rabbits was observed, resolving in 2 of 3 animals by 48 hours. Mean scores for redness and chemosis did not exceed 2. This mild effect is not considered irritating to the eye.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion
endpoint:
experimental data
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
experimental data
Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dermal irritation (erythema and edema) with scores between 2.3 and 5.0 was observed for n-ODSA EC 701-338-8 at 30-60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours after application (in 3 animals). The substance meets the criteria for classification as an irritant according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008.
Transient ocular (conjunctival) effects do not meet the criteria in Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 for classification for eye irritation.
