Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
The rabbits were caged singly in an experimental room maintained at a temperature of 20°C. ( + 1°) and a relative humidity of 50-70%. Animals were exposed to artificial light for 10 hours daily from 08.00 - 18.00 hours. A commercial irradiated diet (Styles-Oxoid) was fed ad lib. Sterile filtered water was available at all times.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the right eye served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
100 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single exposure (The eyelids were held closed for 1 second.)
Observation period (in vivo):
The rabbits were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application cf the test compound
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 males and 3 females
Details on study design:
The eyes of the experimental animals were examined and found normal prior to the test. 100mg of the test compound were instilled into the conjunctiual sac of the left eye. The eyelids were then held closed for 1 second. The right eye served as a control. After 30 seconds the compound was, as far as possible, flushed out of the eyes of three of the rabbits with approximately 200 ml. of warm water.
The rabbits were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application cf the test compound

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Con.junctiva.
A very slight reaction was seen in 3/3 unwashed and 1/3 washed eyes. one hour after the application of the compound.
Only one washed eye was still showing a reaction at 24 hours, but this had returned to normal by 48 hours.

Cornea.
Slight opacity with damage to the surface epithelium was seen transiently at one hour only in one unwashed eye.
Generally, there was uery little difference seen in the reactions between washed and unwashed eyes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the trichloro(N,N-dimethyloctylamine)boron was found to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the eye irritation potential of trichloro(N,N-dimethyloctylamine)boron in rabbits in a guideline similar to OECD Guideline 405 without GLP. Three male rabbits and three female rabbits New Zealand rabbits were used in the test. 100 mg of the test compound were instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye. The eyelids were then held closed for 1 second. The right eye served as a control. After 30 seconds the compound was, as far as possible, flushed out of the eyes of three of the rabbits with approximately 200 mL of warm water. The rabbits were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test compound. A very slight reaction (redness of the conjunctivae) was seen in 3/3 unwashed and 1/3 washed eyes one hour after the application of the compound. Only one washed eye was still showing a reaction at 24 hours, but this had returned to normal by 48 hours. Slight corneal opacity with damage to the surface epithelium was seen transiently at one hour only in one unwashed eye. Under the study conditions, the trichloro(N,N-dimethyloctylamine)boron was found to be not irritating to rabbit eyes (Hess, 1976).
