SCORING SYSTEM: Included in the Study Report.


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: lmmediately after the 24 hour observation, a solution of 2% fluorescein in water (adjusted to pH 7.0) was instilled into both eyes of each animal to quantitatively determine corneal epithelial damage. Any bright green stained area, indicating epithelial damage, was estimated as a percentage of the total corneal area.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

lnstillation of approximately 42.5 mg of the test substance (a volume of approximately 0.1 ml) into one eye of each of three rabbits resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae which was seen as redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation had completely resolved within 48 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the other two animals.
No iridial irritation or corneal opacity was observed, and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage in any of the animals.

There was no evidence of ocular corrosion.

No staining of (peri) ocular tissues by the test substance was observed.
Remnants of the test substance were present in the eyes of all animals on day 1

Other effects:

No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Phenyloxindole is considered as non-irritating.

Executive summary:

Single samples of approximately 42.5 mg of Phenyloxindole (a volume of approximately 0.1 ml) were instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation. lnstillation of the test substance resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae, which was seen as redness, chemosis and discharge. The irritation had completely resolved within 48 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the other two animals. No iridial irritation or corneal opacity was observed, and treatment of the eyes with 2% fluorescein, 24 hours after test substance instillation revealed no corneal epithelial damage in any af the animals. Phenyloxindole is considered as non-irritating.
