Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate irritation was noted during the 1st and 4th hour following instillation. Slight irritation continued to be seen on day 2 in 2 rabbits

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
MRD-ECH-78-36 was not-irritating to rabbit eyes.
Executive summary:

In an acute eye irritation test, six white rabbits were instilled with 0.1 mL of MRD-78-36 into the conjunctival sac of one eye. Following instillation, the treated eyes were held shut for a few minutes to ensure adequate distribution of the test material. The untreated eye served as control. All animals were observed for overt signs of toxicity and for irritation of the cornea, iris, and conjunctiva at 1 and 4 hours, and on days 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7. Fluorescein was used in examining ocular irritation on days 7, 10 and 14. Ocular irritation was scored using the Draize system of eye irritation (1959).

 

No overt signs of toxicity were noted in any of the animals. Slight to moderate irritation was noted during the 1st and 4th hour following instillation. Slight irritation continued to be seen on day 2 in two rabbits. Based on these results, the study authors concluded that the test material is not irritating when instilled into rabbit eyes.

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as “reliable with restrictions” because this study was not conducted according to GLP, but was conducted similar to OECD 405.
