Eye irritation

Administrative data

Endpoint:

eye irritation: in vivo

Type of information:

migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

OS3600 undergoes rapid hydrolysis in aqueous to MPKO and the corresponding silanol. Silanols undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable. Therefore, the observed toxicity is likely due to MPKO and their values are comparable. The study has been conducted according to OECD guidance under GLPs.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Instillation of the test substance resulted in effects on the cornea, iris and conjuctivae. The corneal injury consisted of opacity (maximum grade 1) and epithelial damage (maximum 50% of the corneal area) in two (of the three) animals. The corneal injury had resolved within 7 days. Iridial irritation grade 1 was observed and had resolved within 24 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the remaining animals. The irritation of the conjunctivae consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge and had completely resolved within 72 hours in one animals and within 14 days in the other two animals.

Other effects:

No clinical signs of toxicity noted

Conclusions:

Based on the read-across approach from the analogue substance MPKO, the test item was determined to be irritating to the eyes.

Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation/corrosion study was performed with the analogue substance MPKO in rabbit according to OECD Guideline 405 (GLP study). Single samples of 0.1 mL of test item were instilled into one eye of each of three rabbits. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 and 14 days after instillation. Instillation of the test substance resulted in effects on the cornea, iris and conjuctivae. The corneal injury consisted of opacity (maximum grade 1) and epithelial damage (maximum 50% of the corneal area) in two (of the three) animals. The corneal injury had resolved within 7 days. Iridial irritation grade 1 was observed and had resolved within 24 hours in one animal and within 72 hours in the remaining animals. The irritation of the conjunctivae consisted of redness, chemosis and discharge and had completely resolved within 72 hours in one animal and within 14 days in the other two animals. The mean 24 -72 h scores for each animal were determined to be as follows: Corneal opacity: 0, 1.0, 1.0; Iris: 0, 0.7, 0.7; Redness: 0,7, 2.3, 2.0; Chemosis: 0.3, 1.3, 1.3. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the substance OS3600 was determined to be irritating to the eyes.
