Conclusions:

Based on the result obtained from present study, it can be concluded that the test compound Tin (II) Oxalate (CAS No.-814-94-8) is practically non-irritant to the eyes of New Zealand white rabbit at the dose level of 0.1g under test condition.

Executive summary:

Theacute eye irritation study ofTin (II) Oxalate (CAS No.-814-94-8) was conducted in New Zealand White Rabbits as per the OECD- 405 Guideline for testing of chemicals. The study was conducted stepwise as follows-

Initial test (using one animal):

One healthy rabbits of body weight 2.13Kg was selected for study after acclimatization. Rabbit was examined for any abnormal discharge such as eye irritation, ocular defects or pre-existing corneal injury from eye 24 hours prior to application of test compound.

The test compound was applied in the conjunctival sac of rabbit after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball at the dose rate of0.1gm.The other eye which remain untreated, served as a control. The acute irritation to eye conjunctiva, cornea and iris was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hoursafter the treatment. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animal was observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weight before and during the study was observed.

The test compound Tin (II) Oxalate (CAS No.-814-94-8) when applied to conjunctival sac of rabbit in the amount of0.1gmdid not produce any eye irritation or inflammation. Furthermore, no other clinical signs were recorded after application of test compound such as cage side activity, pain etc.

Confirmatory test (using two additional animals):

The result obtained from the initial test was confirmed in additional two animal of same sex and same dose level (OECD-405, paragraph-21).

In the confirmatory test the test compound was applied in the amount of 0.1 gm in the conjunctival sac of rabbit after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The other eye which remain untreated, served as a control. The acute irritation to eye conjunctiva, cornea and iris was evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hoursafter the treatment. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animals were observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weight before and during the study was observed.

In the confirmatory test, the test compound Tin (II) Oxalate (CAS No.-814-94-8) when applied to the conjunctival sac of the rabbits did not produce eye irritation during the entire observation period. However, some blood vessels observed hyperemic upto 24 hours after the application of test compound. There were no other signs observed throughout the observation period of 21 days.

Based on above findings, it can be concluded that the test compound Tin (II) Oxalate (CAS No.-814-94-8) is practically non-irritant at the tested dose level 0.1 mg under test condition.
