Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Non-GLP guideline study, however with some deviations. The lower end of the housing temperature range (16-18°C) was outside of the range (20°C +/- 3°C) specified in OECD Guideline 405; the observation period was 8 days whereas the guideline recommends 21 days to clarify reversibility; no data on the purity of the test item given.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The single instillation of the test item in the eye of rabbit resulted in ocular irritation.
At reading time point 1 hour, corneal opacity of grade 1 to 2, conjunctival redness (grade 1) and chemosis (grade 1 to 2) were observed in all 3 animals; in two of them, discharge above normal also was reported (grade 1 to 2).
At reading time point 24 hour, corneal opacity of grade 1 to 2, conjunctival redness (grade 1 to 2) and chemosis (grade 2 to 3) were observed in all 3 animals; they all further showed discharge above normal (graded 2).
At reading time point 48 hour, corneal opacity of grade 2, conjunctival redness (grade 1 to 2) and chemosis (grade 2) were observed in all 3 animals, which all still showed discharge above normal (graded 2); in addition signs of iritis were noticed in all animals and were graded 1 to 2.
At reading time point 72 hour, corneal opacity of grade 2, conjunctival redness (grade 2) and chemosis (grade 2) were observed in all 3 animals; discharge still remained above normal in 2 cases (grade 2) whereas for the third animal, discharge had turned back to normal; signs of iritis still were evident in all animals (grade 1 to 2).
After 8 days, corneal opacity of grade 2 to 3, conjunctival redness (grade 1), chemosis (grade 1), and iritis (grade 2) still were evident in all 3 animals, indicating that the findings were not reversible within 8 days following treatment. No more discharge above normal was seen.
