Description of key information
Skin irritation
In the closed patch tests for these samples, slight erythema was observed in 2 animals, but it disappeared within 48 – 72 hours. The solvent olive oil also induced similar erythema in a closed patch test over 24 hours in half of the animals. These findings and the absence of concentration dependence of the sample suspension in olive oil suggest that erythema was associated not with the sample but with olive oil. In a closed patch test for 24 hours for the positive control moderate erythema and slight to moderate edema occurred, which showed no tendency to improve during the observation period of 8 days. Based on these results it was concluded that the test item had no irritant effect on the rabbit skin.
Eye irritation
The test sample was prepared as a 20% suspension in olive oil because it is not soluble in water. When it was instilled in the eye, the aforesaid results were obtained. Namely, no symptoms were observed in the unwashed eyes except for light redness in the conjunctiva 24 hours after instillation, with the complete disappearance of symptoms at 48 hours. In the washed eyes, no irritative symptoms occurred. It seemed reasonable to attribute redness in the unwashed eyes to the solvent olive oil. In the positive control group (5% solution of SLS in water) moderate irritation was detected. From the above results it can be concluded that the test item has nearly no irritating potential for the rabbit eye mucosa.

Oriental RC-4 pellets and tap water ad libitum. - Vehicle:
- other: olive oil
- Controls:
- yes, concurrent positive control
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.1 mL of a 20% solution of the test item
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- see below
- Observation period (in vivo):
- up to 192 h
- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- 6 per group
- Details on study design:
- The animals were macroscopically confirmed by use of a slip lamp on the day just before the test to have no abnormalities in either eye, then 0.1 mL of 2% sodium fluorescein solution in water was instilled into the eyes, and the eyes were immediately washed with 20 ml of lukewarm water to verify that the cornea was not injured.
On the next day, 0.1 mL of the test sample was instilled into one eye (right) with the lower lid formed into a pocket, and retained there by closure of upper and lower lids for 1 minute to allow the test sample to be dispersed over the whole eyeball, in each of 6 animals per sample. Three of these 6 animals remained with the eyes closed and unwashed, while the remaining 3 animals had their eyes washed with 20 mL of purified lukewarm water at several seconds after instillation of the sample.
The animals were immobilized in stocks for 3 hours after sample instillation, and returned to the cage one by one.
At 24, 48 and 72 hours and 8 days after sample instillation, the reaction in the conjunctive, cornea and iris were scored according to the Draize system with the left eye as control. A slit lamp for ophthalmoscopy was used for observation, and photographs were taken at 24, 72 hours and 8 days after sample instillation.
Observation of general symptoms and determination of body weight were performed at 10 a.m. everyday. - Irritation parameter:
