Test animals / tissue source

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

Age : 10 to 12 weeks
Sex : Female
Body weight range : 1.80kg ±200g
No. of animals : Three
Acclimatization : The rabbit was acclimatized to standard laboratory condition for 24 hours in experimental room before study
Environmental conditions : Air conditioned room with 10-15 air changes per hour, temperature between 22-250C, relative humidity 40-60% and illumination cycle set to 12 hours artificial fluorescent light and 12 hours dark.

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

yes, concurrent no treatment

Amount / concentration applied:

A dose of 0.1gm of test substance was applied into the one eye of the rabbits. The other eye, which remains untreated, serves as a control.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 hrs

Observation period (in vivo):

The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test substance application. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animal was observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. After recording the observations at 24 hours, the eyes were further examined with the aid of fluorescein. Individual animal weight before and during the study was also observed

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

No. of animals : Three

Details on study design:

TEST PROCEDURE:
The test compound in the amount of 0.1 ml applied in the conjunctival sac of one eye of each animal after gentle pulling the lower eye lid away from the eye ball. The eye lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent the loss of the material. The other eyes which remains untreated, served as control.
Irritation:
The eyes of the test animal did not washed for at least 24 hours following instillation of the test compound. At 24 hours a washout may be used if considered appropriate.

Remarks on result:

other: not irritating

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test compound when applied to the eye of New Zealand white rabbit at the dose level of 0.1 gm produce slight redness and mild eye discharge after four hours of application of test compound. However, any lesions such as pannus, staining were not recorded throughout the observation period of 72 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not irritating

Conclusions:

The Modified maximum average score (MMAS) of the test chemical was found to be 8.33.
Based on above results, it can be concluded that the test compound was practically non irritant when applied in the amount of 0.1 gm in the conjunctival sac of the New Zealand White rabbits.

Executive summary:

A study was performed to determine the ocular irritation potential of the test chemical in accordance with OECD 405 Guidelines.. 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were used for the study.

The test compound  in the amount of 0.1 ml applied in the conjunctival sac of one eye of each animal after gentle pulling the lower eye lid away from the eye ball.  The eye lids were then gently held together for about one second to prevent the loss of the material.  The other eyes which remains untreated, served as control.

The eyes of the test animal did not washed for at least 24 hours following instillation of the test compound. At 24 hours a washout may be used if considered appropriate. The eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test substance application. The grades of ocular reaction (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animal was observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. After recording the observations at 24 hours, the eyes were further examined with the aid of fluorescein. Individual animal weight before and during the study was also observed

The Modified maximum average score (MMAS) of the test chemical was found to be 8.33.

Based on above results, it can be concluded that the test compound was practically non irritant when applied in the amount of 0.1 gm in the conjunctival sac of the New Zealand White rabbits.
