Observation period (in vivo):
72 hours
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2 males, 1 female
Details on study design:
A dose of 18.8 mg (the amount of compound equivalent to a volume of 0.1 mL) of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctivasl sac of the left of each the three rabbits (2 males, 1 female); the right eye of each animal served as an untreated control. The eyes were not rinsed after dosing.
All animals were observed 3 days. on the day of dosing (day 1), the eyes were evaluated wuth minimal manipulation and without the use of fluorescein.
The scoring system used was that of Draize.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Immediately after dosing, each rabbit blinked and rubbed the treated eye; however, none of the rabbits exhibited sign of obvious pain or discomfort. Within 1 hour of dosing, slight circumcorneal reddening was apperent in the treated eye of each rabbit. Slight comjuctival reddening and chemosis was also evident in two of the rabbits, and iritis was apperent in the treated eye of one of these animals. By 6 hours post dose, the ocular changes were subsiding, and at 24 hours, the only changes noted were slight circumcorneal reddening in one rabbit and slight reddening of the conjuctivae in another animal. By 48 hours post dose, the treated eye of each rabbit appeared normal.
Other effects:
All rabbits were asymptomatic throughout the 72-hour test period, and they all gained weight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test indicated that the test substance is not an ocular irritant in rabbits because a positive irritating effect was not apperent in any of the treated eyes at 24, 48, or 72 hours post dose.
