Details on study design:

PRETREATMENT
- Immediately before the start of the test, both eyes of the provisionally selected test rabbits were examined for evidence of ocular irritation or defect with the aid of a light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. Only animals free of ocular damage were used.

PROCEDURE
- Initially, a single rabbit was treated. A subcutaneous injection of buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg was administered 60 minutes prior to test item application to provide a therapeutic level of systemic analgesia. Five minutes prior to test item application, a pre-dose anesthesia of ocular anesthetic (two drops of 0.5% tetracaine hydrochloride) was applied to each eye.
- A volume of 0.1 mL of the test item was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye, formed by gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after treatment, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and was used for control purposes. Immediately after administration of the test item, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made.
- Eight hours after test item application, a subcutaneous injection of post-dose analgesia, buprenorphine 0.01 mg/kg and meloxicam 0.5 mg/kg, was administered to provide a continued therapeutic level of systemic analgesia. The treated animal was checked for signs of pain and suffering approximately 12 hours later. No further analgesia was required.
- After consideration of the ocular responses produced in the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): No

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scale as described in the OECD guideline No. 405.

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Examination of the eye was facilitated by the use of the light source from a standard ophthalmoscope. In order to confirm the absence or presence of corneal opacity, examination under ultra violet light following treatment with Sodium Fluorescein BP was performed in one treated eye at the 24 and 48 hour observations. The cornea, conjunctivae and iris were also examined for lesions. The control eyes were also similarly treated with Sodium Fluorescein BP.

OTHERS
- Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and at the end of the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 2A (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions, the test item was classified as Category 2 and 2A (irritating to eyes) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), respectively.

Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study performed according to the OECD Guideline No. 405, and in compliance with GLP, 0.1 mL of undiluted test item was instilled into the right eye of 3 male New Zealand White(Hsdlf:NZW) strain rabbits. The upper and lower eyelids were held together for about one second immediately after application, to prevent loss of the test item, and then released. The left eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 h and 7, 14 days after instillation of test item and graded according to the Draize method.

 

Scattered or diffuse corneal opacity was noted in all treated eyes at the 24, 48 and 72 hour observations. Iridial inflammation was noted in all treated eyes 1 hour after treatment and at the 24, 48 and 72 hour observations. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted at all treated eyes 1 hour after treatment and at the 24 and 48 hour observations. Moderate conjunctival irritation was noted in two treated eyes with minimal conjunctival irritation noted in one treated eye at the 72 hour observation. Minimal conjunctival irritation was noted in all treated eyes at the 7-Day observation. All treated eyes appeared normal at the 14-Day observation.

 

Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were 1.0 / 1.0 / 1.0 for cornea score;1.0 / 1.0 / 1.0 for iris score; 2.0 / 2.0 / 2.0 for conjunctivae score and 1.7 / 1.7 / 1.3 for chemosis score.

 

Under the test conditions, the test item was classified as Category 2 and 2A (irritating to eyes) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), respectively.
