Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Guideline used: Interagency Regulatory Liaison Group, "Recommended Guidelines for Acute Eye Irritation Testing," U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, DC, 20207, January 1981.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Six New Zealand rabbits were used in this facet of the study. The pure compound was instilled in 100 mg quantities into the conjunctival envelope of the left eye of each rabbit; the right eye served as a control . Two of the rabbits had the compound washed from the eye 30 seconds after instillation; two, 5 min after instillation ; and two did not have the compound washed from the eye. Each eye was graded for ocular lesions at 1 and 4 h on the day of the application and again at 24, 48, and 72 h.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
All rabbit eyes showed erythemia or redness (vascular congestion) of conjunctival vessels for the 1 and 4 h observations. One rabbit eye, from the 5 min "wash" group, had slight cornea opacity after 1 h and severe chemosis at 4 h preventing observation until 24 h. Then the cornea appeared clear, while the iris showed congestion with the pupil reacting slowly t o light. This condition continued through the test period with redness, chemosis, and discharge. The iris congestion was still present after 7 days. After 18 days, the rabbit was killed and tissues were taken for histological studies. When examined microscopically, the eye from the animal had a chronic granulomatous iritis with prominent infiltrations of large mononuclear inflammatory cells.
This iris response is considered a positive reaction but 1 positive response from 6 rabbits is considered a negative result for eye irritation studies according to classical guidelines. After 48 h, one of the remaining rabbits showed slight chemosis which was negative after 72 h.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
With the scoring scheme, the rabbit eye test was considered negative; however, transient conjunctival and corneal irritation did result from the test substance application in several animals and one developed a chronic anterior uveitis.
