Adequacy of study:

weight of evidence

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

OS3600 undergoes rapid hydrolysis in aqueous to MPKO and the corresponding silanol. Silanols undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable. Therefore, the observed toxicity is likely due to MPKO and their values are comparable. The study has been conducted according to OECD guidance under GLPs.

Remarks on result:

other: (read-across from an analogue for which LD50 = 1133 mg/kg bw)

Mortality:

Yes, all at 2000 mg/kg bw (2000 mg/kg bw: 5/5; 550 mg/kg bw: 0/5; 175 mg/kg bw: 0/1).

Clinical signs:

other: Yes, at all dose groups. 175 mg/kg: Hunched posture. 550 mg/kg: Lethargy, hunched posture, uncoordinated movements, flat posture, laboured respiration, piloerection, salivation.. 2000 mg/kg: Lethargy, ventral-lateral recumbency, hunched posture, uncoordi

Gross pathology:

No macroscopic findings on rats that survived to the scheduled sacrifice. A pale, discolored liver was observed for one rat that was found dead on Day 2.

Other findings:

- Organ weights: Decreased liver weights at 550 mg/kg, decreased spleen weights at >=550 mg/kg, decreased kidney weights at 2000 mg/kg
- Other observations: Haematology showed a slight increase in red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit; a slight increase in red blood cell distribution width, eosinophils and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration; and a slight decrease in mean corpuscular volume.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The data matrix is included in the reporting format attached.

The results from the read-across approach are expressed on the basis of the amount of MPKO generated from the hydrolysis reaction of OS3600 and their molecular weights. The amount of MPKO was estimated using the assumption that 1 mole of the target substance OS3600 produces 4 moles of MPKO. No other adaptions are necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Toxicity Category IV

Remarks:

Conclusions:

Based on the read-across approach from the analogue MPKO, the oral LD50 for OS3600 in rats was estimated to be 1200 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study was performed on the analogue substance MPKO in accordance with OECD Guideline 425 using the Up and Down procedure (GLP study). Test item was initially administered by oral gavage to a female rat at 2000 mg/kg bw. In a stepwise procedure 11 additional females were dosed at 175, 550 and 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were dosed sequentially one at a time. All animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed on the day of death or after terminal sacrifice (Day 15). Animals at 2000 mg/kg bw were found dead. Clinical signs were observed at all doses, from hunched posture at 175 mg/ kg bw to lethargy, uncoordinated movements, laboured respiration, piloerection, discharge eye, ptosis hypothermia and salivation at 2000 mg/kg bw. The surviving animals had recovered from this symptoms by day 6. No effects were observed on the body weight gain. Decreases in weight of the liver (550 and 2000 mg/kg bw), kidneys (2000 mg/kg bw) and the spleen (550 and 2000 mg/kg bw) were noted. Haematology showed a slight increase in red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit; a slight increase in red blood cell distribution width, eosinophils and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration; and a slight decrease in mean corpuscular volume. No macroscopic abnormalities were observed. The LD50 in rats was determined to be ca. 1133 mg/kg bw and within the range of 300 -2000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the oral LD50 for OS3600 was determined to be 1200 mg/kg bw.
