Additional information
No reliable information on skin irritation/corrosion and eye irritation are available for the registered substance, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3).
Therefore, read across from the structurally similar source substance N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanamine (CAS 3069-25-8) was applied. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and in accordance with the Read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) read across from analogue substances has been applied to support the human health hazard assessment of N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3). Details on read across justification can be found in the justification for grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.
Skin irritation/corrosion:
N-[3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3) was tested for its skin irritating properties in a non-guideline study and without GLP compliance (Bushy Run Research Center, 1981). The study was determined to be reliability 4 (documentation insufficient for assessment). 0.01 mL of the registered substance was applied to clipped, uncovered, intact skin of 5 rabbits abdomens either undiluted or in progressive dilutions of 10, 1, 0.1, and 0.01% in the solvent. Additionally, a 4 h contact test (occlusive application) for the testing of corrosivity was performed. The undiluted test material was openly applied and caused marked capillary injection on 4 rabbits and moderate erythema in one animal. No individual scores were given in the study report.
Furthermore, the test material was occlusively applied to the rabbits for 4 h and did not cause necrosis. Hence, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine was found to be "not corrosive".
N-Methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanamine (CAS 3069-25-8) was investigated for skin irritation/corrosion according to the OECD TG 404, but not in compliance with GLP (Hüls AG, 1989). 3 male Small White Russian rabbits were administered 0.5 mL of the undiluted test substance for 4 h under semiocclusive conditions. 1, 24, 48, and 72 h, as well as 6, 8, 10, 13, 17, and 21 days after removal of the test item the skin reactions were recorded. The mean erythema scores over 24, 48, and 72 h noted were 2.67, 1, and 2, respectively, and the mean oedema scores were 2, 0.3, and 2, respectively. In one animal showing the strongest erythema reaction, the effect was reversible within 17 days.
Classification for skin irritation Cat. 2, according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, is warranted, if two or more animals show mean erythema or oedema scores of 2.3 or more. According to these criteria N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanamine (CAS 3069-25-8) does not need to be classified since only one animal showed erythema scores above the score of 2.3 and reversibility within the observation period of 21 days (Hüls AG, 1989). Nevertheless, mild irritation potential can be concluded for CAS 3069-25-8 since mean values between 1.5 and 2.3 for erythema and/or oedema from gradings in 2 of 3 tested animals from readings at 24, 48, and 72 hours are observed. The acute dermal toxicity study (Bushy Run Research Center, 1981) further supports the irritation potential of the registered substance, as erythema, oedema and necrosis were the predominant clinical signs seen in the animals treated with N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3).
In conclusion, as a worst case N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3) was considered to be irritating to the skin.
Eye irritation:
N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3) was tested for its eye irritating properties in a non-guideline study and without GLP compliance (Bushy Run Research Center, 1981). The study was determined to be reliability 4 (documentation insufficient for assessment). Single instillation of 0.005, 0.02, 0.1, or 0.5 ml undiluted or 0.5 ml of 40, 15, 5, or 1% test material dilutions in propylene glycol were made into the conjunctival sac of 5 rabbits. Severe corneal injury with iritis was noted from 0.005 ml of undiluted test material per eye. In another dose group, moderate to severe corneal injury with iritis was observed in one animal treated with 0.5 ml of 5% test material diluted in propylene glycol. No injury was observed in 5 eyes treated with 1% test material in propylene glycol. No individual scores were given in the study report. Hence, N-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]-1-butanamine (CAS 31024-56-3) was concluded to cause serious damage to the eyes.
In the available study (Hüls AG, 1989) with the source substance N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanamine (CAS 3069-25-8) conducted according to the OECD TG 405, but not in compliance with GLP, 1 Small White Russian rabbit was instilled with 0.1 ml of the undiluted N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanamine (CAS 3069-25-8) into the eye. It is not stated in the study report whether the test item was administered into both eyes or one eye remained untreated and served as a control. After 1 h, severe redness and chemosis of the conjunctiva, corneal opacity grade 3 and iridic irritation grade 1 were observed. Moreover, iris reaction was delayed. Similar reactions persisted after 24 h and necrosis of the nictitating membrane and the conjunctiva was observed, in addition to strongly reddened iris in combination with haemorrhage. Treatment of the eyes with fluorescein revealed opacity of an area greater than three quarters up to the whole area. The mean scores over 24, 48, and 72 h were 2, 1, 3, and 1 for cornea, iris, redness, and chemosis, respectively. Only the noted chemosis was reversible within 21 days; all other damages were still persistent at study termination. Since the measured pH value of the test item was 12.3, only one animal was tested for acute eye irritation in this study. It can be concluded that the severe eye effects could be due to the strong alkalinity of the test substance. Based on this result, N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)-1-propanamine (CAS 3069-25-8) is considered to cause irreversible effects on the eye.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on irritation/corrosion meets the criteria for classification as Skin Irrit. 2 (H315) and as Eye Damage 1 (H318) according to Regulation (EC) No. 272/2008.
