Examinations
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:

- Time schedule: Daily
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yesa
- Time schedule: Once before first dose, and then weekly. Skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, occurrence of secretions and excretions and autonomic ctivity (lacrimation, piloerection, pupil size, unusual respiratory pattern). Changes in gait, posture and response to handling as well as the presence of clonic or tonic movements, stereotypies (for example excessive grooming and repetitive circling), difficult or prolonged parturition or bizarre behaviour (such as self mutilation, walking backwards) were recorded.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: Individual body weights were determined beginning with randomisation into the test groups, on the first day of dosing, at least weekly thereafter, and on the day of sacrifice. During gestation, the reproductive females were weighed on gestation days 0, 7, 14 and 20, within 24 hours of parturition, and on post-partum day four.
FOOD CONSUMPTION: For males, feeder weights were taken on days 1, 8 and 15 during the pre-mating period. For toxicity group females, feeder weights were taken on days 1, 8, 15, 22 and the day prior to sacrifice. For reproductive group females, feeder weights were taken on days 1, 8, 15, and on gestation days 0, 7, 14, 20 and on post-partum days 0 and 4.
OTHER: The duration of gestation was calculated from day 0 gestation for each female. From gestation day 20 after evidence of mating, pregnant animals were checked at least three times daily (twice daily on weekends and holidays) for evidence of parturition. If difficulties were observed, progress of the parturition process was monitored. - Oestrous cyclicity (parental animals):
- Not applicable - screening study
- Sperm parameters (parental animals):
- Parameters examined in male parental animals: testis weight, epididymis weight, prostate gland weight

PARAMETERS EXAMINED
The following parameters were examined in offspring: number and sex of pups, stillbirths, live births, postnatal mortality, presence of gross anomalies, weight gain, physical or behavioural abnormalities, other:]
GROSS EXAMINATION OF DEAD PUPS:
[no / yes, for external and internal abnormalities; possible cause of death was/was not determined for pups born or found dead.] - Postmortem examinations (parental animals):
- SACRIFICE
- Male animals: All surviving animals after 28 days treatment
- Maternal animals: All surviving animals on day 4 post-partum (toxicity group after 29 days treatment)
GROSS NECROPSY
- Gross necropsy consisted of external and internal examinations including the cervical, thoracic, and abdominal viscera.
HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGHTS
The tissues indicated in Table 2 of Section 7.5.1 were prepared for microscopic examination and weighed, respectively. - Postmortem examinations (offspring):
- SACRIFICE
- The F1 offspring on post-partum day 4.
GROSS NECROPSY
- Gross necropsy consisted of an external examination only.
HISTOPATHOLOGY / ORGAN WEIGTHS: Not conducted - Statistics:
- See section 7.5.1
- Reproductive indices:
- Each litter was examined as soon as possible after delivery to determine the number and sex of the pups, the number of pups alive, number of dead pups, runts, and the presence of any gross abnormalities. Pups were counted and sexed and litter weights were taken within 24 hours of parturition and on day 4 post-partum. The day parturition was observed as complete was considered day 0 post-partum. Any abnormal behavior of the offspring was recorded.

Details on results (P0)
BODY WEIGHT AND FOOD CONSUMPTION (PARENTAL ANIMALS): There were no statistically significant differences across exposure groups for mean body weights. There were no statistically significant differences in body weight gain for the reproductive females in any of the treatment groups during any of the measured intervals. There were no differences in the average daily food consumption.
REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE (PARENTAL ANIMALS): None of the pair wise comparisons showed a difference between a treated group and control when adjusting for the litter size. The litter size was a significant contributor to explaining any differences in endpoints. There were no treatment-related effects apparent for any of the reproductive endpoints: gestation length, litter size, litter weight, ratio live births/litter size, litter sex ratio, number of implantation sites, number of corpora lutea, mating and fertility indices.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In a well conducted, GLP, OECD 422 study (reliability score 1) the NOAEL for dichloro(methyl)silane for general systemic toxicity was 250 mg/kg bw/day, and ≥500 mg/kg bw/day for reproductive and developmental toxicity. It is considered appropriate to use this result as the basis for reproductive toxicity of dichloromethylsilane, since this substance hydrolyses rapidly to produce the closely related susbtance methylsilanediol and hydrogen chloride.
- Executive summary:
In a well conducted, GLP, OECD 422 study (reliability score 1) the NOAEL for dimethylsilanediol for general systemic toxicity was 250 mg/kg bw/day, and ≥500 mg/kg bw/day for reproductive and developmental toxicity. Abdominal soiling and urogenital soiling were significant abnormal observations in the reproductive group adult females at 500 mg/kg/day. None of the pair wise comparisons showed a difference between a treated group and control when adjusting for the litter size. The litter size was a significant contributor to explaining any differences in endpoints. There were no treatment-related effects apparent for any of the reproductive endpoints: gestation length, litter size, litter weight, ratio live births/litter size, litter sex ratio, number of implantation sites, number of corpora lutea, mating, post-implantation loss, post-natal loss, mating and fertility indices. For further details on the results for males and toxicity group females, see Section 7.5.1.
