Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight to moderate irritation was seen in the eyes of all three rabbits, which had fully reversed within 7 days.
All rabbits had moderate conjunctival redness, slight or moderate chemosis and moderate ocular discharge 1 hour after instillation. Twenty-four hours after instillation all rabbits had slight or moderate conjunctival redness and slight chemosis, in addition one rabbit exhibited moderate ocular discharge, corneal opacity and iris reddening. All rabbits had slight conjunctival redness at 48 and 72 hours after instillation. The test was terminated on day 8 due to the eyes of all rabbits having returned to normal.
Other effects:
No signifcant effects on body weight

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 405, the instillation of undiluted DEIPA (0.1 ml) into the right eye of 3 rabbits was considered to cause slight to moderate transient eye irritation.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study, conducted according to OECD guideline 405, an aliquot of 0.1 ml of undiluted DEIPA was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three New Zealand White rabbits. The contralateral eye served as the untreated control. An ocular anaesthetic was used for 2 rabbits following discomfort observed in the second rabbit dosed. The eyes were examined for conjunctival redness, discharge, chemosis, corneal opacity and iris reddening at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and 7 days, post-instillation.

 

All rabbits had moderate conjunctival redness, slight or moderate chemosis and moderate ocular discharge 1 hour after instillation. Twenty-four hours after instillation all rabbits had slight or moderate conjunctival redness and slight chemosis, in addition one rabbit exhibited moderate ocular discharge, corneal opacity and iris reddening. All rabbits had slight conjunctival redness at 48 and 72 hours after instillation. The test was terminated on day 8 due to the eyes of all rabbits having returned to normal.

 

In this reliable study, the instillation of neat DEIPA was considered to cause slight to moderate transient eye irritation in rabbits.
