Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 16 mL/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
The maximum dermal application of the test substance (16 ml/kg bw) lead to one death in male rabbits and no deaths in female rabbits. Therefore, an LD50 could not be determined.
Clinical signs:
other: None
Gross pathology:
At necropsy there were signs of lung infection in the males that died before the end of the 14 day observation period: lung and upper thoracic cavity fluid-filled and covered with yellow puss. Some males and females were found to have red patches in the trachea and lungs.
Other findings:
Capillary injection, erythema, oedema were observed one day after exposure in male and female animals. By 7 and 14 days scabs and desquamation were observed in females only.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted using a protocol similar to OECD 402, but not to GLP (reliability score 2), the dermal LD50 for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile was greater than 16 ml/kg bw (15520 mg/kg bw, based on relative density of 0.97 g/cm3) in rabbits.
