Any other information on results incl. tables
In this eye irritation study the test item was applied to the lower conjunctival sac of one eye of 3 female NZW - rabbits (HsdIf:NZW) at a dose of 0.1 g per application site. The untreated other eye served as control.
Observations were calculated and compared to the control eyes, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h post-dose.
Animal no. 1 showed redness, chemosis and discharge grade 1 of the conjunctiva 1 h after the instillation. Further, it showed redness grade 1 and discharge as well as chemosis grade 2 of the conjunctiva 24 h after the instillation. 48 hours post instillation, chemosis grade 1 of the conjunctiva was observed. No further signs of irritation were observed 72 hours post instillation.
Animal no. 2 showed redness as well as chemosis grade 1 and discharge grade 2 of the conjunctiva 1 h after the instillation. 24 hours post instillation, discharge grade 1 of the conjunctiva was recorded. No further signs of irritation were observed 48 hours as well as 72 hours post instillation.
Animal no. 3 showed redness, chemosis and discharge grade 1 of the conjunctiva 1 h as well as 24 hours post instillation. No further signs of irritation were observed 48 hours as well as 72 hours post instillation.
No other toxic effects were observed.
The eye of animal no. 1 was rinsed with isotonic saline, NaCl 0,9% (lot no. 8221A121, Braun Melsungen AG); the eyes of animal no. 2 and animal no. 3 were not rinsed.
At the end of the observation period (72 hours) the treated eyes of all animals were examined with the aid of a fluorescein solution (Fluorescein SE Thilo®, lot no. H 702, Alcon Pharma GmbH). No corneal lesions were found in any animal at any time.
Throughout the observation period no significant weight loss was recorded in the test animals.
The calculated mean scores did not exceed the limit values according to the Directive 2001/59/EC in any case.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- slightly irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information not sufficient for classification Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Considering the reported data of this irritation study it can be stated that the test item 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid behenylester produced slightly to moderately irritating effects, which were fully reversible in all animals.
According to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Guidelines in Commission Directive 2001/59/EC) the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation (for details see Evaluation of Results)
