In general, the irritating effect of diisotridecyl adipate on the rabbit eye was week. No effects at all were seen for cornea, iris, and chemosis. As irritating effect, only conjunctival redness was observed. Mean conjunctivae scores including the 24 to 72 h readings for individual rabbits were 1 or lower.

 

Rabbit 2 and 3 did not show any effect after 72 h. Thus, the study was discontinued for these animals. For animal 1, all effects had subsided and were absent after 8 days.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Diisotridecyl adipate showed only a very weak response in a primary eye irritation test (only conjunctivae effects grade 1 were observed, fully reversible within 1 to 8 d). Based on the results of this test, diisotridecyl adipate is not irritating to the eye.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study, 0.1 mL of diisotridecyl adipate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of 3 adult Vienna White rabbits for 24 hours. Eyes were not washed at the end of the exposure period. Eye irritation was scored 1 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 8 d after instillation of the test substance using the grading system of OECD test guideline 405 (Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion). Animals then were observed for 72 h or 8 days dependent on the results of the test.

 

After treatment, only week effects on conjunctivae could be observed. No reaction was seen for cornea, iris, and chemosis. Conjunctival effects subsided with time and were fully absent after 48 h, 72 h and 8 d for rabbit 2, 3 and 1 respectively.

 

In this study, diisotridecyl adipate is not irritating to the eye according to EU regulations (Rossbacher/BASF 1992b).

 

This study is assessed as acceptable. It satisfies the guideline requirements (OECD TG 405) for an acute eye irritation/corrosion study.
