Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2A (irritating to eyes)

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

HPG-ds is irritating to the eyes according to EU criteria (CLP regulation)

Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 50 mg of undiluted HPG-ds (potassium (R)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)[(3-methoxy-1-methyl-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)amino]acetate) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of an albino rabbit (New Zealand White) after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were gently held together for about one second to prevent loss of the test substance. The other eye remained untreated and served as the reference control. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.

 

Irritation of the conjunctival tissues was observed, which had resolved within 14 days after instillation of FGH-KZ. According to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements, the mean value of the scores for each type of lesion is the following (mean of 24, 48 and 72h):

-      Corneal opacity: 0

-      Iris: 0

-      Conjunctivae (redness): 2.3

-      Conjunctivae (chemosis): 1

 

In this study, HPG-ds (potassium (R)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)[(3-methoxy-1-methyl-3-oxoprop-1-enyl)amino]acetate) is an eye irritant based on EU criteria (according to CLP regulation).
