Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an OECD Test Guideline 405 eye irritation study, conducted to GLP, tetraammineplatinum dinitrate was not irritating to rabbit eyes following instillation of the test material (0.1 ml) into the right eye of 3 animals.
Executive summary:

In an in vivo eye irritation study carried out in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 405, and to GLP, a 0.1 ml aliquot of undiluted tetraammineplatinum dinitrate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three male New Zealand White rabbits. The left eye was untreated to serve as a control. Following instillation the eyelids were held closed for 1 second. The ocular response was assessed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Corneal opacity, effects on the iris and conjunctival redness, chemosis and discharge were scored according to the Draize numerical scale. Any clinical signs of toxicity were noted and body weights were also recorded.

 

No corneal or iris effects were observed throughout the study. The only effect to be noted was minimal transient conjunctival redness in one treated eye one hour after treatment. No signs of toxicity were noted during the study and all animals showed expected bodyweight gain.

 

Based on the results of this study, tetraammineplatinum dinitrate should not be classified for eye irritation under EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
