IN-LIFE DATES: From: 28 January 1997 To: 4 February 1997

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 81 mg (equivalent weight to a 0.1 mL volume of test material)
- Concentration (if solution): Not applicable

Duration of treatment / exposure:
Following instillation of the test material into the conjunctival sac, the eyelids were held together for appproximately one second to prevent immediate ejection of the material. The eyes were not rinsed to remove the material however after 24 hours fluorescein dye was used to aid examinations and this was flushed out of the eye and consequently any test material was removed at the first rinsing after fluorescein usage.
Observation period (in vivo):
Eyes were examined 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation and then on Day 7.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
Three
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Eyes were not rinsed but the post-fluorescein application involves rinsing away excess dye. This was completed at 24 hours after instillation and again at each subsequent evaluation

SCORING SYSTEM: Standard Draize assessment, evaluated using the method of Kay& Calandra

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: fluorescein

Remarks on result:
other: Reactions in all three treated rabbits did not exceed a diffuse crimson redness but persisted for at least 72 hours although all reactions had resolved by Day 7. The mean score of 1.56 did not exceed the classification threshold.

Remarks on result:
other: Obvious swelling with partial eversion of the eyelids was sustained in two of the three treated rabbits. Although reactions resolved by Day 7, the mean score of 2.0 in at least two animals requires classification as R36, Irritating to eyes.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The slight to moderate reactions observed in two of the three rabbits were sufficient to classifiy the test substance on the basis of persistent moderate chemosis.
Classification according to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 requires the Signal word "Warning", appropriate GHS pictogram and classification as "Category 2: Eye irritant with the hazard statement 'H319: causes serious eye irritation'.
Precautionary statements P264 and P280 for prevention and P305 +P351 +P338 and P337 +P313 for response should be considered.
Other effects:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Corneal opacity generally resolved by Day 3 having been noted in two of the treated eyes. Iritis, also noted in two animals was slight in degree but persisted through the 72 hour assessment and had resolved by Day 7. Conjunctival irritation, redness and swelling, was observed in all three treated eyes but was only moderate or marked in two animals. The degree of response in these two rabbits was sufficient to require classification of Ro 31-9373 (PTH-Decahydroamide) as R36, Irritating to eyes.

Executive summary:

The irritation potential to rabbit eye of Ro 31 -9373 (PTH-decahydroamide) was investigated using a standard protocol based on OECD Test Guideline 405.

Ro 31 -9373 (PTH-decahydroamide) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of three New Zealand White rabbits, as 81 mg of powder (weight equivalent to the volume of 0.1 ml). The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing and then on day 7, and reactions scored using the standard Draize assessment method.

Corneal opacity generally resolved by Day 3 having been noted in two of the treated eyes. Iritis, also noted in two animals was slight in degree but persisted through the 72 hour assessment and had resolved by Day 7. Conjunctival irritation, redness and swelling, was observed in all three treated eyes but was only moderate or marked in two animals. The degree of response in these two rabbits was sufficient to require classification as R36, Irritating to eyes.

Classification according to Commission Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 requires the Signal word "Warning", appropriate GHS pictogram and classification as "Category 2: Eye irritant with the hazard statement 'H319: causes serious eye irritation'.
