- Remarks:
- Guideline study conducted under GLP. The method of analysis involved derivatization. This method only measures the amount of the alkyltin moiety, MMT, present and does not identify the other ligands attached to the tin. Currently there is no analytical method available that can quantify the actual named substance, i.e., the entire organotin compound with its associated chloride ligand. All measured MMT was fully attributed to the named substance, MMTC.

- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- From each diet sample, 2.0 g was transferred into a 50 mL Greiner tube. An aliquot of the internal standard solution (monoheptyltin trichloride, diheptyltin dichloride, tripropyltin chloride and tetrapropyltin in methanol) was added. Subsequently methanol, acetate buffer solution (pH 4.5), 20% aqueous NaBEt4 solution (STEB solution) and hexane (with naphthalene as internal standard) were added to each sample and this mixture will be shaken and heated to 60 degrees C. During this step, the organotin chlorides were converted into the corresponding ethylated tetraorganotin derivatives, which were extracted into the hexane layer. Prior to GC-MS analysis, the hexane layer wa washed with 2 mol/l HCl in order to remove (most of) the ethylboron compounds that interfere with the GC-MS analysis. The concentration of each test substance in feed was determined by GC-MS analysis of the hexane extracts.

FOOD EFFICIENCY Similar among the groups in males and females throughout the study. An occasional significant difference was seen.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study) N/A
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION No treatment related ocular changes were observed.
HAEMATOLOGY RBC, Hb and PVC were statistically significantly increased in females and MCV and MCH were statistically significantly increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group. Thrombocytes (females) and prothrombine time (males and females) were statistically significantly decreased in the 750 mg/kg group. Absolute and relative numbers of eosinophils were significantly decreased in females of the 750 mg/kg group. Haematology parameters were similar among the control, 30 and 150 mg/kg groups, with the exception of a statistically significantly lower number of neutrophils in males of the 30 mg/kg groups, which was considered a chance finding.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY At the end of the treatment period the following statistically significant differences (relative to the control group) were observed
ALP: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group and decreased in females of the 30 mg/kg group;
ASAT: increased in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group;
Albumin: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group;
Albumin/globulin ratio: decreased in females of the 750 mg/kg group;
Urea: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group;
Creatinin: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group;
Total bilirubin: decreased in females of the 750 mg/kg group;
Cholesterol: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group;
Phospholipids: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group;
Chloride: increased in males of the 750 mg/kg group;
Potassium: decreased in males of the 750 mg/kg group.
URINALYSIS Urinary pH and urinary crystals were statistically significantly increased in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group. Other semi-quantitative and microscopic urinary observations were similar among the groups. Urinary volume was statistically significantly increased and urinary density was statistically significantly decreased in males and females of the 750 mg/kg group.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR In animals of the 750 mg/kg group, some statistically significant effects were observed during neurobehavioural testing at the end of the study in week 13. In males, increases in forelimb gripstrength, landing footsplay and body temperature were measured, and a marginal effect was shown on click response. Hyperactivity was clearly observed in both males and females. The changes were considered related to treatment and toxicologically relevant.
ORGAN WEIGHTS The following organ weights were statistically significantly increased in the 750 mg/kg group:
• Absolute (males and females) and relative (males) adrenal weights;
• Absolute and relative kidney weights (males and females).
The following organ weights were statistically significantly decreased in the 750 mg/kg group:
• Absolute and relative thymus weights (males and females);
• Absolute and relative brain weights (females);
• Absolute and relative spleen weight (males);
• Absolute and relative epidydimidal weights.
GROSS PATHOLOGY No treatment related changes were observed.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC At microscopic examination, treatment related histopathological changes were observed in the thymus and the brain. Six males of the 750 mg/kg group showed a decreased cortex/medulla ratio in the thymus. This change was also present in three females. Although the incidence in the females of the 750 mg/kg group was not statistically significantly higher than that in the controls, it was considered related to treatment because the thymic change was similar to that in the males. The decreased cortex/medulla ratio was characterized by a smaller cortex while the general architecture of the thymus was not changed. Decreased cortex/medulla ratio was not observed in any of the animals of the control, 30 or 150 mg/kg groups. The treatment related histopathological changes in the brain consisted of loss of perikarya of neuronal cells in specific areas of the brain. All females and all but one male showed loss of perikarya in the pyramidal layer of the Hippocampus CA1/2. In addition, four males of the 750 mg/kg group demonstrated loss of perikarya in the piriform cortex, which was also considered related to treatment. The histopathological changes observed in the brain were not observed in any of the animals of the control, 30 or 150 mg/kg groups.

NOAEL: Based on the changes in neurobehavioural parameters, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis and organ weights and the associated
histopathological findings in thymus and brain in animals of the 750 mg/kg group, the NOAEL in the sub-chronic toxicity study was placed at 150 mg trichloromethylstannane/kg diet (equivalent to 9.8 mg trichloromethylstannane/kg bw/day in males and 10.2 mg trichloromethylstannane/kg bw/day in females).
Dietary doses of 50, 250, 750, and 1500 mg trichloromethylstannane/kg feed (ppm) were administered for 14 days. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed. The body weights were sporadically decreased in males of the 750 mg/kg group and throughout at 1500 mg/kg. Body weights were not significantly different among females. Food consumption was significantly decreased in males of the 750 and 1500 mg/kg groups on day 7 and 14. Food consumption was significantly increased in females of the 50 and 250 mg/kg groups (day 7) and significantly decreased in females of the 750 mg/kg group (days 7 and 14) and the 1500 mg/kg group (day 7). Food conversion efficiency was significantly decreased in males of the 1500 mg/kg group (days 7 and 14). Food conversion efficiency was not significantly different among females. The absolute weights of the testes were significantly decreased in the males of the 50 and 1500 mg/kg groups. Absolute spleen weights, relative kidney weights and absolute and relative liver weights were significantly decreased in the males of the 1500 mg/kg group. Absolute weights of the ovaries were significantly increased in the females of the 250 mg/kg group and decreased in the females of the 1500 mg/kg group. Absolute and relative spleen weights were significantly decreased in females of the 750 and 1500 mg/kg groups. Macroscopic examination at necropsy did not reveal any treatment related changes.
Dietary exposure of trichloromethylstannane up to 1500 mg/kg for 14 days was tolerated; however, the body weight and food consumption decreases were deemed palatability effects at 750 and 1500 mg/kg. The low food intake, low food efficiency, and organ weight effects at these doses were suggestive of a toxic response threshold. Doses for the main and satellite studies were chosen as 30, 150, and 750 mg/kg in the diet.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The NOAEL was 150 mg/kg diet
- Executive summary:
The toxicity of trichloromethylstannane in Wistar rats was examined using continuous administration via the diet for 13 consecutive weeks (OECD Test Guideline 408). In satellite groups of female rats a reproduction/developmental screening test (OECD Test Guideline 421) was performed to provide initial data on possible reproductive and developmental effects of trichloromethylstannane. The main study used four groups of 10 rats/sex (13-week study) and the satellite study used four groups of 10 female rats (reproduction/developmental screening study). For both studies, the control group was kept on control diet and three test groups received experimental diets containing 30,150 and 750 mg/kg [ppm] of the test substance. The dose levels used in both studies were based on the results of a preceding dose range finding study.
Clinical observations, growth, food consumption, food conversion efficiency, neurobehavioural testing, ophthalmoscopy, haematology, clinical chemistry, renal concentration test, urinalysis, organ weights and gross examination at necropsy, microscopic examination of various organs and tissues and assessment of various reproductive and developmental parameters were used as criteria for detecting the effects of treatment.
Results
Main study (OECD Test Guideline 408)
The calculated doses for the groups receiving 30, 150, or 750 mg/kg trichloromethylstannane in the diet were 1.9,9.8, and 49.7 mg/kg body weight/day in males and 2.1, 10.2, and 53.6 mg/kg body weight/day in females.
No treatment-related changes were observed in clinical signs, body weight, food conversion efficiency and ophthalmoscopy.
A number of haematological changes (statistically significant increases in RBC, Hb, PCV, MCV and MCH and decreases in thrombocytes, prothrombin time and eosinophilic leucocytes) observed in the 750 mg/kg group, were considered treatment-related and toxicologically relevant.
A number of clinical chemistry parameters (statistically significant increases in ALP, ASAT, albumin, urea, creatinin, cholesterol, phospholipids and chloride and a decreases in potassium) observed in the 750 mg/kg group, were considered treatment-related and toxicologically relevant.
The changes in urinary volume and density and in urinary pH and crystals observed in the 750 mg/kg group, were considered treatment-related and toxicologically relevant.
The changes in organ weights (increases in adrenal and kidney weights and decreases in thymus, brain, spleen and epidydimidal weights) observed in the 750 mg/kg group were considered treatment-related and toxicologically relevant.
The decrease in thymus weights was accompanied by a decrease in cortex/medulla ratio in the thymus of males and females, which was considered treatment-related and toxicologically relevant.
The treatment-related changes in neurobehavioural paran1eters (increased forelimb gripstrength, increased landing footsplay, increased body temperature and increased hyperactivity) are indicative of a neurotoxic potential of trichloromethylstannane. The neurobehavioural changes were corroborated by the treatment-related histopathological changes in the brain of most animals of the 750 mg/kg group. The observed histopathological lesion (loss of perikarya in the pyramidal layer of the Hippocampus CAl/2) was located in a functional domain that is generally consistent with the observed neurobehavioural changes and provides further evidence of the neurotoxic potential of the test substance at the 750 mg/kg level.
Conclusions
Main studv (OECD Test Guideline 408)
Based on the changes in neurobehavioural parameters, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, organ weights and the associated histopathological findings in thymus and the brain in animals of the 750 mg/kg group, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) in the sub-chronic toxicity study was placed at 150 mg Trichloromethylstannane/kg diet. This level was equivalent to 9.8 mg/ kg body weight/day in males and 10.2 mg/kg body weight/day for females.
Based on the effects on body weight and food consumption in the 750 mg/kg group, 150 mg
Trichloromethylstannanel kg diet (equivalent to 6.2-11.7 mg/kg body weight/day) can be considered as a NOAEL for maternal toxicity.
Qverall conclusion:
The NOAEL for general sub-chronic toxicity and maternal toxicity, fertility and developmental effects was placed at 150 mg trichloromethylstannane per kg diet.
