Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:

Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Minor deviations without an effect on the study: - According to the guideline a rationale for in vivo testing should be stated in the study report. This is missing in this study report. - According to the guideline, the individual body weight at start and conclusion of the the test should be stated. The body weight at the conclusion of the test is missing. - In the Draize scoring system referes conjunctival redness to palpebral and bulbar conjunctivae and excludes cornea and iris. In this study cornea and iris are included in the scoring system.

cobalt(II) 4-oxopent-2-en-2-olate
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Peconal H
- Physical state: Pink powder
- Storage condition of test material: At room temperature and under argon gas
- The pH of the test item was not measurable (test item not soluble in water)

Test animals / tissue source

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Grimaud frères selection S.A.S., La Corbière, Roussay, France
- Age at study initiation: On the day of treatment, the animal was 2 to 4 months old
- Weight at study initiation: 2.7 kg
- Housing: The animal was housed in Pajon cage (50 cm X 57 cm X 75 cm) equipped with a food container and a water bottle.
- Diet: During the study, the animal had free access to 110C pelleted diet (SAFE, Villemoisson, Epinay-sur-Orge, France).
- Water (ad libitum): Drinking water
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 18 +/- 3 °C
- Relative humidity: 30 to 70 %
- Ventilation: approximately 12 cycles/hour of filtered, non-recycled air
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
No further information on the test animals was stated.

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 100 mg of the test item in its original form
No further information on amount/concentration applied was stated.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
not stated
Observation period (in vivo):
The eyes were examined approximately 1 hour and 24 hours after administration of the test item. As severe irritant effects were observed, the animal was scarificed on day 2 (after scoring) for ethical reasons.
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
1 male rabbit
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
The eyes were not rinsed after administration of the test item.
SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system
TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: Conjucntival reactions, iritis and corneal opacification were evaluated daily for each animal. For evaluation of corneal opacification (presence or absence, affected area), the eyes were examined under a UV lamp after instillation of one or two drops of 0.5 % sodium fluorescein solution ( a clear fluorscence is visible in the area of opacification). This evaluation was performed on day 2 and repeated thereafter whenever necessary.
No further information in details on study design was stated.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
A severe chemosis (maximal grade of 4), a severe redness of the conjunctiva (maximal grade of 3) and a clear discharge were observed on days 1 and 2.
The evaluation of iris and corneal lesions was masked by severe chemosis.
A brownish area on the conjunctivae, similar to a burn, was noted on day 2.
Due to the severe ocular reactions observed, the animal was sacrificed for ethical reasons at 24 hours (after scoring).
