Details on study design:
Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Only animals free of ocular damage were used.
Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A subcutaneous injection of buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg was administered 60 minutes prior to test item application to provide a therapeutic level of systemicanalgesia. Five minutes prior to test item application, a pre-dose anaesthesia of ocular anesthetic (two drops of 0.5% tetracaine hydrochloride) was applied to each eye.
A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item, which was found to weigh approximately 59 mg (as measured by gently compacting the required volume into an adapted syringe) was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball.The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test item, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made according to the six point scale .
Eight hours after test item application, a subcutaneous injection of post-dose analgesia, buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg and meloxicam 0.5 mg/kg, was administered to provide a continued therapeutic level of systemic analgesia. The treated animal was checked for signs of pain and suffering approximately 12 hours later. No further analgesia was required.
After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were similarly treated.
Assessment of ocular damage/irritation was made approximately 1 hour and 24, 48 and 72 hours following treatment, according to the numerical evaluation (Draize, J.H, 1977).
Any other ocular effects were also noted. Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope.
Any clinical signs of toxicity, if present, were also recorded.
Individual body weights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period.

No corneal effects were noted during the study.
Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment.
Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in two treated eyes and minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in one treated eye one hour after treatment. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes at the 24 and 48-Hour observations.
All treated eyes appeared normal at the 72-Hour observation.
Other effects:
One animal showed body weight loss and two animals showed expected gain in body weight during the study.

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item produced a maximum group mean score of 11.7 and was classified as a mild irritant (Class 4 on a 1 to 8 scale) to the rabbit eye according to a modified Kay and Calandra classification system.

Additional information

Skin irritation/corrosion

Two studies are available:

1) An acute dermal irritation study was conducted according to OECD 404 using rabbits under GLP (Pooles A, 2013). Key study.

This study showed that the test substance is not irritating.

2) An in vitro skin corrosion study was conducted according to OECD 431 using a human skin model (Warren N, 2013). Supporting study. This study showed that the test substance is not corrosive.

Eye irritation

Two studies are available:

1) An acute eye irritation study was conducted according to OECD 405 using rabbits under GLP (Pooles A, 2013). Key study.

This study showed that the test substance is slightly irritating.

2) An in vitro BCOP study was conducted according to OECD 437 using bovine cornea (Warren N, 2013). Supporting study.

The test item was considered not to be an ocular corrosive or severe irritant.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
This study was conducted according to OECD 404 using rabbits under GLP.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
This study was conducted according to OECD 405 using rabbits under GLP.

Effects on eye irritation: slightly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin irritation/corrosion: Mean scores at 24, 48 & 72 hours for erythema were < 2.3 (actual value 0) for oedema were < 2.3 (actual value 0).

Serious eye damage/eye irritation: Mean scores at 24, 48 & 72 hours for corneal opacity were < 1 (actual value 0), for iritis were < 1 (actual value 0), for conjunctival redness were < 2 (actual value 0.67) and for conjunctival oedema were < 1 (actual value 0.33).

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Tables 3.2.2 & 3.3.2 the substance is not classified for the skin corrosion/irritation and serious eye damage/eye irritation endpoint.
