Other effects:

One female had a body weight loss of 129 grams (5%) from day 0 to day 3. A body weight loss of this magnitude is common in animals which have been bandaged and collared for four hours, and was not attributed to test material.
There were no other remarkable body weight changes during the study period.

Remarks:

Conclusions:

Very slight erythema was observed on a single male animal at 72 hours post-dose. There was no edema or other dermal findings. The irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 4.
The primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0. The test material, Y-4036, received a descriptive rating classification of nonirritating.

Executive summary:

The primary dermal irritation potential of Y-4036 was evaluated in this study with New Zealand White rabbits.

Single 0.5 -ml doses of the test material were applied to the clipped, intact skin of six albino rabbits under semi-occlusive dressings for a four-hour exposure period. At completion of exposure, the bandages were removed and the sites washed. Application sites were evaluated in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 30 -60 minutes and 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal and on day 4 if irritation persisted.

Very slight erythema was observed on a single male animal at 72 hours post-dose. There was no edema or other dermal findings. The irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 4.

The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0. The test material, Y-4036, received a descriptive ranting classification of nonirritanting.

Conclusions:

The Maximum Average Score for Y-4036 was 5.2 at one hour post-instillation. An iris reaction was noted in the treated eye of one female animal. There were no corneal findings. Minor conjunctival irritation was noted for all rabbits. All irritation was reversible and completely subsided by termination (day 3) or earlier.

Executive summary:

The primary ocular irritation potential of Y-4036 was evaluated in this study using New Zealand White rabbits.

Single 0.1 -ml doses of the test material were instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of the right eye of three male and three female albino rabbits. The eyelids were held closed for approximately one second and released. Left eyes were manipulated in a similar manner as the right eyes and served as contralateral controls. The eyes of all rabbits remained unwashed.

The eyes were examined for ocular reactions in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately one, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing. Sodium fluorescein was used to aid in revealing possible corneal damage at 72 hours.

The Maximum Average Score of Y-4036 was 5.2 at one hour post-instillation. An iris reaction was noted in the treated eye of one female animal. Minor conjunctival irritation was noted for all rabbits. There were no corneal findings. All irritation was reversible and completely subsided by day 3 or earlier.

There were no deaths or remarkable changes in body weights during the study period.
