summary The results of the acute ocular irritation test conducted from
January 3, 1984 to January 10, 1984 at Riker Laboratories$ Inc., St. Paul, .F
Minnesota indicate that T-3493 is minimally irritating (2.0/110.0) to the eye of the female albino rabbit. Minimal conjunctivitis was noted at the one hour evaluation and subsided by the two day evaluation. Corneal opacity and iritis were not produced during the study.
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the acute ocular irritation
properties of T-3493 when instilled into the eye of female albino rabbits. This study is not regulcated by the Food and Drug Administration's Good Laboratory Practice Regulation of 1978, although the standard operating procedures of this laboratory adhere to the general principles of this regulation. The raw data generated by the Study Director and the final report are stored in the conducting laboratory's archives.

Method and Results Young albino rabbits of the tiew Zealand breecp- were used to evaluate
the ocular irritating properties of the test article. b
modeled after that of Draize et al-;--.
The test method was
The test article was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right
eye of each rabbit according to the treatment procedure presented in
Table 1 with the left eye of each animal serving as a control. At each
scoring interval, the cornea, iris and palpebral conjunctiva were examined
and graded for irritation and injury according to a standard scoring system b . The maximum possible score at any one examination and scoring period 110 points, which indicates maximal irritation and damage to all three ocular tissues (cornea, iris, conjunctiva) while a score of zero
indicates no irritation (Table 2). in this scoring system, special
emphasis is placed upon irritation or damage to the cornea, while less
emphasis is placed upon damage to the iris and conjunctiva. After completion of the test, the scores were analyzed, and a
descriptive eye irritation rating was assigned to the test article. The criteria used for assignment of the descriptive rating were the frequency, the extent and the persistence of irritation or damage which occurred to the three ocular tissues (Table 3). The individual results are presented
in Table 4.
a Hazleton Dutchland, Inc., Denver, PA Draize: Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and
Cosmetics (1965).
3.
The rating is arrived at by selecting the maximum mean irritation score at one hour, one, two or three days after instillation. if the rate of dissipation of injury does not meet the requirements defined for the descriptive rating appropriate for a particular numerical score, the descriptive rating is raised by one or more levels. The rating system is presented in Table 3. The protocol, principal personnel involved in the study, composition characteristics and Quality Assurance statement are contained in Appendices I IV.

Redness (A) Redness (refers to palpebral conjunctiva only). Vessels definitely injected above normal. More diffuse, deeper crimson red, individual vessels not easily discernible. Diffuse beefy red. Chemosis (B) Any swelling above normal (included nictitating membrane). obvious swelling with partial eversion of -the lids. Swelling with lids about half-closed. * Swelling with lids about half-closed to completely closed.
Discharge (C) Any amount different from normal (Does not include small amount observed in inner canthus of normal animals). Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs just
adjacent to the lids. Discharge with moistening of the lids and hairs and considerable area around eye.

Definition
To maintain this rating, all scores by the one day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, all scores by the one day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, all scores by the three day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase.rating one level.
To maintain this rating, all scores ]@y-the seven day reading must be zero; otherwise, increase rating one level.
To maintain this rating, scores by seven days must be < 10 for 60% or more of the animals. Also, mean seven day score must be < 20. If seven day mean score is < 20 bu@-< 60% of animals show scores < 10, then no animal among those showing scores > 10 can exceed a score of 30 if rating is to be maintained; otherwise, raise rating one level.
To maintain this rating, scores by seven days must be < 30 for 60% or more of the animals. Also, mean seven day score must be < 40. If seven day mean score is < 40 but < 60% of the animals show scores < 30, then no animal among those showing scores > 30 can exceed a score of 60 if rating is to be maintained; otherwise, raise rating one level.
