Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 1.67, 1.00; 0.00, 0.00, 1.67, 1.33, and 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.00, respectively.Under the experimental conditions tested, all the three animals were fully reversible within an observation period of 14 days.
Hence under the experimental test conditions,the test chemical was “An Eye Irritant (Irritating to Eyes)" to New Zealand White Female rabbit eyes. it was classified under the category "Category 2" as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) classification. - Executive summary:
Acute eye irritation/corrosion study was conducted in rabbits to evaluate the eye irrritant nature of the test chemical. The study was performed as per OECD 405 Guidelines using 3 female New Zealand White rabbits.
Rabbitsfree from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas; 0.1 mlof test itemwas instilled in the other (treated) eye of each rabbit.The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hour, day 7 and day 14 for all the animals after test item instillation.Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions.
In the initial test,0.1 ml of test item (as such, undiluted)was applied into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of animal no.1 whereas the left eye of the rabbit served as the control. As animal no. 1 showed no severe ocular lesions a confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (animal no. 2 and 3); 0.1 mlof test itemwas instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye of both the rabbits and left eye served as the control.
Untreated eye of all the three rabbits were normal throughout the experimental period.
The following grading scores were observed in treated eye of tested rabbits.
Observation at 1 hour after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was seen in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae -Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) in all the animals;Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) in all the animals.
Observation at 24 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was seen in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae -Some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was seen in animal no. 1 and 2 whereas diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was seen in animal no. 3.Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was seen in all the animals.
At 24 hours observation the rabbits were examined for corneal epithelium cell damage using sodium fluorescein strips and noticed 30%, 20% and 30% damage in animal no. 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
Observation at 48 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was seen in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals;Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was observed in all the animals.
Observation at 72 hours after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was seen in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was observed in all the animals;Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was seen in animal no. 1 and 3 whereas obvious swelling with partial eversion of lids was seen in animal no.2.
Observation on day 7 after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was seen in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae - Diffuse, crimson color; individual vessels not easily discernible was seen in animal no. 1 and 2 whereas some blood vessels definitely hyperaemic (injected) was seenanimal no. 3;Chemosis:Some swelling above normal (includes nictitating membranes) was seen in all the animals.
Observation on day 14 after instillation of test item revealed: Cornea-No ulceration or opacity was seen in all the animals;Area of Opacity-Zero inall the animals;Iris:Normal in all the animals;Conjunctivae -Blood vessels normal in all the animals;Chemosis:No swelling (Normal) in all the animals.
The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3at 24, 48, 72 hoursfor corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 1.67, 1.00; 0.00, 0.00, 1.67, 1.33, and 0.00, 0.00, 2.00, 1.00, respectively.
Under the experimental conditions tested, all the three animals were fully reversiblewithin an observation period of 14 days. Hence under the experimental test conditions,the test chemical was “An Eye Irritant (Irritating to Eyes)" to New Zealand White Female rabbit eyes. it was classified under the category "Category 2" as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) classification.
