Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
The test article (0.1 ml) was placed by syringe into the conjunctival sac that was formed by gently pulling the lower eyelid away from the eye. After installation, the lids were held together for approximately one second to insure adequate distribution of the test article. One eye of each rabbit was dosed.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Single application.

Observation period (in vivo):

21 days

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3

Details on study design:

Type and Frquency of Observations:
Using a Mini-Maglite flashlight equipped with a high intensity bulb, the treated eye of each rabbit was examined for irritation of the cornea, iris and conjunctiva at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and again on Days 7, 14 and 21. The control eyes were observed at the same time periods. Sodium flurescein dye procedures were used 24-hour observation interval up to Day 21. The eye was examined with the aid of an ultra-violet light source.

Ocular reactions were graded according to the numerical Draize technique (see attached background material for Draize scale). Additional signs were described.

Body weights were recorded pretest and at termination.

Observations for toxicity and pharmacological effects were recorded daily. All animals were humanely sacrificed using CO2 following study termination.

Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of Fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, acetate salts was investigated in an OECD 405 study.

Three healthy New Zealand White rabbits (females), free from evidence of ocular irritation and corneal abnormalities, were dosed with Fatty acids, C18 unsaturated, reaction products with diethylenetriamine, acetate salts. The test material (0.1 mL) was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye of each rabbit. The eyes were examined pre-test and scored by the Draize technique at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and again on Days 7, 14 and 21. The control eyes were observed at the same time periods. Sodium fluorescein dye procedures were used at the 24 -hour observation interval up to Day 21. Observations for toxicity and pharmacological effects were recorded at each ocular observation period and mortality observations were performed daily. The mean total scores were calculated by adding the total score for each time period and dividing by the number of animals. The degree of irritation was determined according to Kay & Calandra and classified according to the Official Journal of the European Union, on Classification, Labeling and Packaging of substances and mixtures. Body weights were recorded pretest and at termination.

Corneal opacity and conjunctival irritation, noted in three out of three eyes, persisted to Day 21. Iritis, noted in three out of three eyes, cleared in two eyes by Day 7 and in one eye by Day 21. The control eyes appeared normal at all observation periods. All animals gained weight. According to OECD and OPPTS the test item is corrosive. According to Kay & Calandra, the test item is severely irritating.  According to EU CLP classification, the test item should be classified as, Category 1 - Irreversible effects on the eye.
