Toxicological information

Eye irritation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
eye irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
January 09 to March 26, 1987
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Justification for type of information:
This IUCLID for dimethyl adipate is compiled using data from the substance itself, a structurally related compound (dimethyl glutarate) and a mixture of dibasic esters (dimethyl adipate, succinate and glutarate). The toxicity of each of these substances is similar and the document attached justifies why data on the category members can be used to support the data gaps for dimethyl adipate.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The observed effects on the conjuctivae and on chemosis 1 hour after application were moderate in two animals and marked in one animal.Two days after the applicaton of the test article, all ocular effects have disappeared.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test article RP/DE is considered not irritating.
Executive summary:

The eye irritating potential of the test article RP/DE has been investigated in the rabbit under the OECD Guideline 405 and under GLP Regulations. Moderate effects on the conjunctiva and on chemosis were observed in two animals 1 hour after application of the test article while the same effects were marked in one animal. Two days after application of the test article, the effects had disappeared. Under the conditions of this study, the test article RD/DE was considered not irritating to the eye.
