Any other information on results incl. tables

All animals treated with 2.0 ml/kg died during the treatment period. Pale livers, kidneys and spleens were observed at necropsy. Congested lungs were also observed. One control animal treated with distilled water died during the treatment period. Severe diarrhoea was observed prior to death and was considered to be cause of death.

Statistically significant change in body weight was noted in animals treated with 2.0 ml/kg bw test material. Statistically significant change in body weight was observed in animals that received five doses of 1.0 ml/kg bw test material.

Marked erythema was observed after one dose of 2.0 ml/kg bw in all four animals. Large fissures and marked erythema were observed following the second dose. Desquamation was observed after application of two doses of 1.0 ml/kg bw test substance. The skin irritation increased to marked desquamation, erythema and small fissures after application of the third dose. These effects were observed throughout the study period with one rabbit developing spots of necrosis. Desquamation was noted after application of second dose of 0.5 ml/kg bw, which developed into marked desquamation, erythema and fissures after the third application. No abnormal skin responses were noted in any of the control animals that received distilled water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In the 19-day repeated dose toxicity dermal study for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propane-1-thiol, adverse skin reactions were reported at all dose levels and based on the available data the reviewer of this study report concludes a NOAEL for systemic toxicity of 0.5 ml/kg bw, but some of the observed effects could be secondary to the local dermal effects.
