Eye irritation
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- eye irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- In the interest of animal welfare and to minimize any testing likely to produce severe responses in animals, a weight of evidence analysis was performed, prior to the start of this in vivo eye irritation study in the rabbit. As recommended in the test guidelines, all available information was evaluated (e.g. existing human and animal data, literature, substance data supplied by the sponsor, analysis of structure activity relationships (SAR), physicochemical properties and reactivity (pH, buffering capacity) and in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo tests) to determine the need for in vivo eye testing. The in vitro Bovine Corneal Opacity and Permeability (BCOP) study (NOTOX project 498487) showed that the test substance was non-irritating. This negative BCOP result should be confirmed in an in vivo eye irritation study. Based on the available information, it was concluded that there is need to perform this in vivo eye irritation study in rabbit in order to establish the possible eye irritating properties of the test substance.

Acute eye irritation/corrosion study with CH03220 in the rabbit.
The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: OECD No.405 (2002) "Acute Eye Irritation / Corrosion"
EC, No 440/2008, B5: "Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation/Corrosion" EPA, OPPTS 870.2400 (1998): "Acute Eye Irritation"JMAFF guidelines (2000); including the most recent partial revisions.
Single samples of approximately 19 mg of CH03220 (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 and 7 and/or 14 days after instillation.
Instillation of the test substance resulted in effects on the iris (one animal) and conjunctivae (three animals). Iridial irritation grade 1 was observed in one animal only and and resolved within 72 hours. The irritation of the conjunctivae consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge and completely resolved within 7 days in two animals and within 14 days in the other animal.
Remnants of the test substance were present in the eye on Day 1.
Based on these results, CH03220 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for eye irritation according to the:
- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the UnitedNations (2011),
- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances andmixtures.
