- Route of administration :
Single , into the conjunctival sac of the rabbit eye
Dose application :
The test substance was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal after retracting the lower lids from the eye ball . The eyelids were then gently held closed for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test substance . The right eye was untreated and served as control .
The eyes were examined and the grade of ocular reactions recorded at 1 , 24 , 48 and 72 hours after treatment .
In addition , the coloration of the cornea was recorded in connection with the colour of the test substance . Mortality and toxic symptoms were recorded daily.
Sacrifice and Necropsy :
The study was terminated 72 hours after administration of the test article.
All rabbits were killed at the end of the opbservation period by an intraveneous injection of T61 into the ear vein.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the eye was not washed after treatment

A corrosion effect of the cornea was observed at each of the measuring intervals, in all rabbits.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed according to the OECD TG405 without deviations and according to the good laboratory practice principles, it is considered to be of highest quality (reliability Klimisch 1). The criteria of validity of the test system are fulfilled. The test material was found to cause a severe irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. A corrosion effect of the cornea was observed at each of the measuring intervals, in all rabbits.
A substance has to be classified in Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye), if, when applied to the eye of an animal, a substance produces:
– at least in one animal effects on the cornea, iris or conjunctiva that are not expected to reverse or have not fully reversed within an observation period of normally 21 days;
and/or
– at least in 2 of 3 tested animals, a positive response of:
– corneal opacity = 3 and/or
– iritis > 1.5
calculated as the mean scores following grading at 24, 48 and 72 hours after installation of the test material.
No statement has been made regarding reversibilty, but the 2nd criterion is fulfilled (mean scores corneal opacity = 3 in at least 2 of 3 animals) and hence, the substance has to be classified in Eye damage Category 1. - Executive summary:
The test substance Pyridine-2-aldehyde was investigated for its potential to cause irritation in the rabbit eye according to OECD TG405. 0.1 ml of pure substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac, the untreated eye served as control. Under the conditions of this experiment Pyridine-2-aldehyde was found to cause a severe irritation when applied to the rabbit eye mucosa. A corrosion was observed at each of the measuring intervals in all rabbits. No discoloration of the cornea and conjunctivae which could be related to effects of the test material was observed. The primary irritation index was found to be for the unrinsed eye : 10.2 . No statement has been made regarding reversibilty, but the mean scores of corneal opacity = 3 in at least 2 of 3 animals and hence, the substance has to be classified in Eye damage Category 1.
