- Details on study design:
- At first only one female albino rabbit was exposed to 0.1 mL of the test item in one eye during an initial test. The eye was examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale 1 h., 24 h., 48 h. and 72 h. after dosing on day 1 as well as on day 7. Changes ranging from slight to well-defined were observed in the treated eye. Based on these findings two more female albino rabbits were treated with 0.1 mL of the test item each. Likewise ocular defects were graded 1 h., 24 h., 48 h. and 72 h. after dosing on day 1 as well as on day 7. Both of these additional test animals showed changes ranging from slight to well-defined in the treated eyes. All effects were fully reversible within 7 days.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- One hour after the application of the test item, animals No. 2933 (#1) and No. 2837 (#2) showed scattered or diffuse areas of opacity with details of the iris clearly visible on more than one quarter, but less than half of the cornea area, an iris with markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia and existence of reaction to light, a cojunctiva with diffuse crimson colour and individual vessels not easily discernible, an obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids and a flow of tears around the whole eye. In the third animal, No. 2839, scattered or diffuse areas of opacity with details of the iris clearly visible on more than half, but less than three quarters of the cornea area, an iris with markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia and existence of reaction to light, a cojunctiva with diffuse crimson colour and individual vessels not easily discernible, an obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids and a flow of tears around the whole eye were observed.
Twenty-four hours after the application of the test item similar effects were again recorded for all three animals. After the instillation of Fluorescein all three animals showed an easily discernible translucent area with details of the iris slightly obscured on more than half, but less than three quarters of the cornea area.
The following observations undertaken 48 and 72 hours after the application of the test item continued to show the same reactions although some reduction in severity or area of the cornea affected was noticed in some animals. Similarly, the instillation of Fluorescein continued to show some degree of scattered or diffuse areas of opacity, translucent areas and obscuring of iris details at both these investigations in all three animals.
Seven days after the application of the test item animals No. 2933, No. 2837 and No. 2839 were free of any signs of eye irritation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of the study described in this report and according to the criteria of the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 4-methyl-2-phenylpentan-2-ol is classified as Category 2 "Irritating to eyes" on the basis of corneal opacity scores of greater or equal to 1 (mean values of 1, 1.33 and 2).
- Executive summary:
The local effect of 4-methyl-4-phenylpentan-2-ol was investigated according to the method recommended in the OECD Guideline No. 405, "Acute Eye Irritation/ Corrosion", April 2002, the commission directive 2004/73/EC "B.5. Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation/ Corrosion", April 2004, and the OECD document "Harmonised Integrated Classification System for Human Health and Environmental Hazards of Chemical Substances and Mixtures", August 2001. At first only one female albino rabbit was exposed to 0.1 ml of the test item in one eye during an initial test. The eye was examined and the changes were graded according to a numerical scale 1 h., 24 h., 48 h. and 72 h. after dosing on day 1 as well as on day 7. Changes ranging from slight to well-defined were observed in the treated eye. Based on these findings two more female albino rabbits were treated with 0.1 ml of the test item each. Likewise ocular defects were graded 1 h., 24 h., 48 h. and 72 h. after dosing on day 1 as well as on day 7. Both of these additional test animals showed changes ranging from slight to well-defined in the treated eyes. All effects were fully reversible within 7 days.
Based on the results of the study described in this report and according to the criteria of the regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, 4 -methyl-4 -phenylpentan-2 -ol is classified as Category 2 "Irritating to eyes".
