Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

Some effects were observed in rabbits till 24 hours which got cleared up by 7 days.The mean irritation index for 4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl acetate[Cue-lure] after 7 days was 0.0.
Hence, 4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl acetate[Cue-lure] can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

Executive summary:

An eye irritation study was conducted to evaluate the irritant nature of 4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl acetate[Cue-lure] in rabbits.

 

0.1 ml of undiluted sample was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each of six albino rabbits. The left eye of each animal served as the control. Grading for eye injury was made at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hr and at 7 days after treatment according to the grading and scoring system of Draize et al. (1944) in which a zero score indicates no irritation and the maximum score at any one scoring period is 110 (maximum irritation and damage to the cornea, iris, and conjunctiva). Some effects were observed in rabbits till 24 hours which got cleared up by 7 days.The mean irritation index for 4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl acetate[Cue-lure] after 7 days was 0.0.

Hence, 4-(3-oxobutyl)phenyl acetate[Cue-lure]  can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.
