Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed at 72 hours. Hence under the experimental test conditions, Benzyl propionate (CAS No. - 122-63-4) is “Non Irritant” to New Zealand White Male rabbit eyes and is being classified as “Unclassified” as per the CLP regulation.
- Executive summary:
Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Study ofBenzyl propionate (CAS no. - 122-63-4)in Rabbits, sponsored bySustainability Support Services (Europe) AB was conducted atSA-FORD (Sanctuary for Research and Development), Maharashtra, India. This study was performed as per OECD guideline No. 405.
Rabbits free from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas;0.1 ml of test item (as such)was instilled in the other (treated) eye of rabbits.The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after test item instillation.Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions.
In the initial test,0.1 ml of test itemwas applied into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of Animal No.1. The left eye of the rabbit served as the control. Animal No. 1 presented ocular lesions at 1 hour observation period. Hence the confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (Animal No. 2 and 3);0.1 ml of test itemwas instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye and left eye served as the control. Ocular lesions were observed at 1, 24 and 48 hour in Animal Number 2 whereas in Animal Number 3 ocular lesions presented only at 1 hour observation period.
Untreated eye of the treated rabbits was normal throughout the experimental period of 72 hours.
The following grading scores were observed in treated eye of tested rabbits.
Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity in all 3 animals; Area of Opacity-Zero in all the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals.Conjunctivae -Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) in all the animals;Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictating membranes) were observed in animal number 1 and 3 whereas animal number 2 was normal.
Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity-Zero in all the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals.Conjunctivae -Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was observed in animal no. 2. Animal no. 1 and 3 recovered to normal;Chemosis:No swelling was observed in all the Animals.
At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 0 % damage in Animal Nos 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
Observation at 48 and 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity in all the animals; Area of Opacity-Zero in all the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals.Conjunctivae -Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was observed in animal no. 3 at 48 hours which was recovered to normal at 72 hours observation whereas blood vessels were normal in Animal Numbers 1 and 3 at 48 and 72 hours observation;Chemosis:No swelling was observed in all the animals.
The individual mean score for Animal Nos. 1, 2 and 3at 24, 48, 72 hoursfor Corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva, chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 ; 0.00, 0.00, 0.67, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, respectively.
Under the experimental conditions tested, eye irritation and reversibility of effects on eyes of rabbits was observed at 72 hours.
Hence under the experimental test conditions,Benzyl propionate (CAS No. - 122-63-4) is “Non Irritant” to New Zealand White Male rabbit eyes and is being classified as “Unclassified” as per the CLP regulation.
