- Diet: Pelleted breeding diet "type 110C" (SAFE, Augy, France), ad libitum
- Water: Tap water (filtered using a 0.22 μm filter), ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- Humidity: 50 ± 20 %
- Air changes: Approximately 12 cycles/h of filtered, non-recycled air
- Photoperiod: 12 h dark / 12 h light

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 g
- To reduce the viscosity of the dosage formulation and permit its administration with syringes, the formulations were kept in a water bath at 37 °C.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
After one hour, both eyes were rinsed with a sterile isotonic saline solution (0.9% NaCl), under a volume and velocity of flow which did not cause injury to the eyes.
Observation period (in vivo):
Eyes were examined approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after administration of the test item. Since all animals showed persistent ocular reactions at the 72 h reading, the evaluation of ocular reactions was extended up to the complete reversibility (at the latest Day 16).
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
2 males
Details on study design:
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Both eyes were rinsed with a sterile isotonic saline solution (0.9% NaCl), under a volume and velocity of flow which did not cause injury to the eyes.

SCORING SYSTEM: According to OECD Guideline 405

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE:
- At 24 h after treatment, 0.5 % sodium fluorescein solution was instilled into the eyes and they were examined under UV-lamp to detect the presence of corneal opacification.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
First animal (Y30156):

A severe redness of the conjunctiva (grade 3) was observed 1 h after treatment, then redness became moderate (grade 2) from Days 2 to 3, slight (grade 1) from Days 4 to 15, and disappeared on Day 16.
Second animal (Y30157):
- Moderate chemosis (grade 2) was observed at the 1 h observation and on Days 2, 3 and 4. Then, severity decreased to grade 1 (slight) on Days 5 and 6 and disappeared on Day 7. A moderate redness of the conjunctiva (grade 2) was observed 1 h after treatment and on Day 2, then severity decreased to grade 1 from Days 3 to 8 and disappeared on Day 9.
Other effects:
- No mortality was observed.
- Moderate or marked alopecia was observed in the first and the second animal from Day 2 to the end of the observation period. Lacrimation was observed on Days 4 and 5 in the first animal and on Days 1 and 2 in the second animal.
- Body weight of the animals was unaffected by the test item treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test item, PI2080 is classified as “R36 irritating to eyes” according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and Category 2 with the hazard statement "H319: Causes serious eye irritation" according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation study conducted according to the OECD Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, 2 healthy male rabbits of the New Zealand White strain were exposed to 0.1 g of test item, PI2080 in their left eye while the right eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyelids were then gently held together for about one second to avoid any loss of test item. At 24 h after treatment, 0.5 % sodium fluorescein solution was instilled into the eyes and they were examined under UV-lamp to detect possible corneal damage. The eyes were examined and the changes were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and Days 5 to 16 after treatment and graded according to the method of OECD Guideline 405.

No mortality was observed. Body weight of the animals was unaffected by the test item treatment. In the first animal, severe chemosis (grade 3) was observed at the 1 h and 24 h observations, then severity decreased to grade 2 from Days 3 to 9 and further decreased to grade 1 from Days 10 to 11 and disappeared on Day 12. A severe redness of the conjunctiva (grade 3) was observed 1 h after treatment, then redness became moderate (grade 2) from Days 2 to 3, slight (grade 1) from Days 4 to 15, and disappeared on Day 16. In second animal, moderate chemosis (grade 2) was observed at the 1 h observation and on Days 2, 3 and 4. Then, severity decreased to grade 1 (slight) on Days 5 and 6 and disappeared on Day 7. A moderate redness of the conjunctiva (grade 2) was observed 1 h after treatment and on Day 2, then severity decreased to grade 1 from Days 3 to 8 and disappeared on Day 9. Both males showed lacrimation on Days 4 and 5 and on Days 1 and 2, respectively. A moderate to marked alopecia was noted around the left eye from Day 2 in both animals. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 2 animals were 0.0, 0.0 for cornea score; 0.0, 0.0 for iris score; 1.7, 1.3 for conjunctivae score and 2.3, 2.0 for chemosis score. In this study, test item, PI2080 is an eye irritant on male rabbits.

 

Under the test conditions, test item, PI2080 is classified as “R36 irritating to eyes” according to the criteria of Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and Category 2 with the hazard statement "H319: Causes serious eye irritation" according to the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
