Conclusions:

Executive summary:

Two groups, each of three female WISTAR Crl: WI(Han) rats, were treated with the test item by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was tested undiluted and administered at a dose volume of 2 mL/kg. All animals used in the study after their entrance at BSL were allowed to acclimatise to the laboratory conditions for at least 5 days. The animals were observed on delivery, on inclusion in the study and before administration for mortality/morbidity and other clinical signs. All animals were examined for clinical signs several times on the day of dosing and once daily until the end of the observation period. Their body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to the administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. All animals survived until the end of the study without showing any test-item related signs of toxicity. Throughout the 14-day observation period, the body weight gain of the test animals was within the normal range of variation for this strain. At necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed in any animal of any step. Under the conditions of the present study, a single oral application of the test item to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with no signs of toxicity or mortality. Therefore, the LD₅₀ for this test item is expected to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.

Interpretation of results:

Conclusions:

In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted to the OECD 402 and to GLP, the LD50 for 2,4-hexadienoic acid, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl ester was > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity following the application of a single dose of the test item was determined. The study was performed as a limit test according to OECD 402 and OPPTS 870.1200.

Five male and five female WISTAR Crl: (WI(Han) rats were selected for testing. The fur was removed from the dorsal area of the trunk using an electric clipper. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin, and only animals with healthy intact skin were used. At least 10% of the body surface was cleared for the application. Prior to application, a detailed clinical observation was made for all animals.

The neat test item was applied uniformly over an area which was approximately 10% of the total body surface. The test item was held in contact with the skin by a dressing throughout the 24 hour period. The dressing consisted of a gauze-dressing and not-irritating tape and was fixed with an additional dressing in a suitable manner.

Under the conditions of the study, single dermal application of the test item to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with neither mortality nor signs of toxicity but signs of irritation. Therefore, the dermal LD₅₀ was determined to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.

Additional information

Based on the available information from the key acute oral toxicity study, the LD₅₀ (oral, rat) for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate was concluded to be > 2000 mg/kg bw (BSL Bioservice 2012a).

Following oral administration of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test material to 6 female rats, no mortality, clinical changes, body weight loss or pathological changes were observed during the 14 -day study period.

Based on the available information from the key acute dermal toxicity study LD₅₀ (dermal, rat) for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate was concluded to be > 2000 mg/kg bw (BSL Bioservice 2013a).

Following cutaneous application of 2000 mg/kg bw to the skin of 10 male/female rats, no mortality was observed during the 14 -day study period. Eschar or scratches were observed in 1 male and 5 females from day 5 until day 12 of the observation period. No body weight or pathological changes were noted during the study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl-(2E,4E)-hexa-2,4-dienoate, no classification for acute oral and dermal toxicity is required, according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
