Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation or corrosion potential of E-C104 was assessed in three male New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD test guideline 404. The test substance (0.5 g) was moistened with 0.4 ml of vehicle. As a result of the 4 -hour exposure (semi-occluded application) no skin reactions were observed in any animal at any observation time. Therefore, primary irritation index (PII) was 0 and evaluated as not irritating. In conclusion, E-C104 had no irritation or corrosion potential on the rabbit skin under the conditions of the study.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: at observations 24 hours after administration, the treated eye was observed first by a slit lamp. One drop of fluorescein sodium solution prepared with water for injection to 2 w/v% was then instilled into the cornea and 2-3 seconds later the cornea was washed with about 20 ml of distilled water. The presence or absence of any injury in the cornea was examined again by a slit lamp.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Conjunctival redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 were observed in all animals of eye unwashed animals at 1 hour after administration. These changes disappeared by 24 hours after administration in all animals. In eye washed animals, conjunctival redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 were observed in two animals, and conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge of score 1 was observed in one animal at 1 hour after administration. These changes disappeared by 24 hours after administration in all animals. Maximum mean total score (MMTS according to Kay & Calandra)) for unwashed and washed eyes was 8 and 7.3, respectively. 24 hours after administration and onward, pigmentation of conjunctiva and partial cornea considered to be test substance related was noted in all animals. The pigmentation in the partial cornea disappeared by 96 hours after administration.
Other effects:
No clinical signs or abnormal body weight gain was observed in any animal throughout the observation period. Observation of the cornea using fluorescein sodium solution revealed no stain spot in any animal.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
E-C104 had a minimal irritation potential to the rabbit eye under the conditions of this study (OECD 405): irritation occured only after 1 hr and was fully reversible within 24 hours.
Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation or corrosion potential of E-C104 was assessed in six (3 eye unwashed and 3 eye washed animals) male New Zealand White rabbits. The test substance (0.1 g) was instilled into the right eye of the animal. As a result, conjunctival redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 was observed in all animals of eye unwashed animals at 1 hour after administration. These changes were fully reversible within 24 hours. In the eye washed animals conjuncitval redness and discharge of score 1 and chemosis of score 2 were observed in two animals, and conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge of score 1 were observed in one animal at 1 hour after administration. These effects were also fully reversible within 24 hours. The MMTS of the eye unwashed and washed animals was 8 and 7.3, respectively, showing no effect of the eye washing. Pigmentation of the conjunctivae was noted in all animals. In conclusion, E-C104 had minimal eye irritation potential to the rabbit eye under the conditions of this study.
