TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: precipitation was not observed at the end of the study, although it was observed above 900 μg/mL at the beginning of the study in all test system with or without metabolic activation.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The highest concentration was selected based on the results of cell groth inhibition test. The preliminary test was performed at 14.1, 28.1, 56.3, 113, 225, 450, 900, and 1800 μg/mL (equals to 10 mM) with/without S9 for short term treatmen t(6h) and without S9 mix for 24 h and 48 h treatments. Above 900 μg/mL, precipitate was observed at the beginning of the study. Since the minium inhibitionon the cell-growth ratio was observed, the highest dose was determined as 1800 μg/mL.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative with and without metabolic activation.

In an in vitro mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells gene mutation test equivalent or similar to OECD 476 and not compliant with GLP, the test substance was found to be non-mutagenic. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Genetic toxicity in vivo

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Studies were chosen as key when the available study was of relevance and sufficient quality for classification, labelling and risk assessment. Other available data are included as supporting studies.


 


The key bacterial mutagenicity study on triethoxy(methyl)silane was conducted in compliance with GLP and according to OCED TG 471 (METI, 2012). No evidence for a test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and E. coli WP2uvrA strain.  The strains were treated with doses of 0.39 to 5.0 mg/plate with and without metabolic activation system. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave expected results. Under the conditions of this study, triethoxy(methyl)silane was concluded to be non-mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium strains(METI, 2012). This conclusion was further supported in two additional bacterial reverse mutation assays where no test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538, treated with 0.1 to 5.0 mg/plate with and without metabolic activation system (Hazelton France, 1992e) or Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, treated with doses of 0.001 to 5 µL/plate with and without metabolic activation system (Litton Bionetics, 1978), respectively.


 


The key in vitro cytogenicity study on triethoxy(methyl)silane was conducted in compliance with GLP and according to OECD TG 473 (METI, 2012). Triethoxy(methyl)silane did not cause a statistically significant dose-related increase in chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster CHL/IU cells with or without metabolic activation. The test substance was therefore considered non-clastogenic in CHL/IU cells. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave expected results (METI, 2012). This conclusion was supported in an additional chromosome aberration test (Litton Bionetics, 1979). In the supporting study, no test-substance related increase in chromosome aberrations in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells with or without metabolic activation were observed.


 


A key mammalian cell gene mutation study equivalent or similar to OECD TG 476 and which was conducted prior to the commencement of GLP is available for the registered substance. Triethoxy(methyl)silane was tested in the mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. The cultures selected for cloning were treated with doses up to 2.4 µL/ml in the absence and 3.2 µL/ml in the presence of metabolic activation and exhibited no mutagenic potential in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave expected results (Litton Bionetics, 1978). 


 


 


In vivo testing is not required as no evidence for genetic toxicity was found in the in vitro studies.


 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vitro and in vivo data on mutagenicity of the registered substance, triethoxy(methyl)silane is not classified for mutagenicity according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
