Other effects:
Alopecia around the treated eye was noted for one animal on days 10 and 14.

One animal died prior to study termination (day 3). This animal exhibited poor food consumption, distended abdomen, and small amount of stool on day 2. It was the opinion of the study director that this death was not test material related, but due to a gastro-intestinal problem.

Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C10 aromatics, >1% naphthalene based on analogue read across.

Application of 0.1ml of MRD-89-523 to the eye of six rabbits elicited slight, transient conjunctival redness, chemosis, and some discharge.  Mean scores for redness at 24, 48, 72 hours were 0.50, 0.17, and 0.60 respectively.  The scores for chemosis were 1.67, 0, and 0.  There were no positive scores for corneal, or iridial irritation.  Ocular irritation was most prominent at the 1 hour, 72 hour and day 4 observations where the total Draize score ranged from 4-12.  Additional observations included alopecia in one animal on days 10 and 14.  All other animals were free of signs of irritation within 14 days of dosing.  Classification as an ocular irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
