key study
Study period:
2013
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
An in vitro/ex vivo eye irritation study (according to HET-CAM protocol) was performed before the conduct of the present in vivo study. Since the result of this study was not conclusive regarding classification and labelling purposes, a fully valid in vivo eye irritation was performed.

- Acclimation period: At least 20 adaptation days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20°C ± 3°C (maximum range)
- Humidity (%): 30% - 70% (maximum range)
- Air changes (per hr): Not provided

SCORING SYSTEM:
The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctivae, cornea and iris) were recorded at each examination according to the following scheme:

Cornea
Opacity: degree of density (Readings taken from most dense area. The area of corneal opacity will be noted)
No ulceration or opacity: 0
Scattered or diffuse areas of opacity (other than slight dulling of normal lustre), details of iris clearly visible: 1
Easily discernible translucent area, details of iris slightly obscured: 2
Nacreous area, no details of iris visible, size of pupil barely discernible: 3
Opaque cornea, iris not discernible through the opacity: 4

Iris
Normal: 0
Markedly deepened rugae, congestion, swelling, moderate circumcorneal hyperaemia, or injection, iris reacting to light (a sluggish reaction is considered to be an effect): 1
Haemorrhage, gross destruction, or no reaction to light: 2

Conjunctivae
Redness: (refers to palpebral and bulbar conjuntivae, excluding cornea and iris)
Normal: 0
Some blood vessels hyperaemic (injected): 1
Diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible: 2
Diffuse beefy red: 3

Chemosis
Swelling (refers to lids and/or nictating membranes)
Normal: 0
Some swelling above normal: 1
Obvious swelling, with partial eversion of lids: 2
Swelling with lids about half closed: 3
Swelling, with lids more than half closed: 4


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
slit lamp: prior to the administration and 1 hour, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the instillation
fluorescein: 24 hours after administration the eyes were treated additionally with fluorescein before being examined to aid evaluation of the cornea for possible lesions

Under the present test conditions, a single instillation of 0.1 mL Butanedioic acid, 2(or 3)-sulfo-, 4-[2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethyl]ester, disodium salt per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused following changes:
Corneal opacity (grade 1) was observed in animal no. one 24 hours after instillation.
Conjunctival redness was observed in all animals:
animal no. 1: 24 and 48 hours (grade 1) after instillation;
animal no. 2: 48 hours (grade 1) after instillation;
animal no. 3: 60 minutes (grade 2) and 24 and 48 hours (grade 1) after instillation.
Chemosis was observed in all animals:
animal no. 1: 60 minutes (grade 3) after instillation;
animal no. 2: 60 minutes (grade 2) and 24 hours (grade 1) after instillation;
animal no. 3: 24 hours (grade 1) after instillation.
The irises were not affected by instillation of the test item.
There were no systemic intolerance reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritating

Executive summary:

Under the present test conditions, a single instillation of 0.1 mL test item, containing 39.90% active ingredient, per animal into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of three rabbits caused following changes: corneal opacity (grade 1) in on animal 24 hours after instillation, conjunctival redness (grade 1) in all animals, chemosis in all animals up to 24 hours after instillation (grade 1 -3). The irises were not affected by instillation of the test item. Mean 24-72h scores were 0.11/4, 0.55/3 and 0.22/4 for cornea opacity, conjuctivae redness and chemosis, respectively.

All scores were reversible within 72 hours and fell below classification criteria, therefore the test item was not irritant for the eyes.
