No evidence of a test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without metabolic activation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 102 in the initial plate incorporation experiment or the repeat assay using the preincubation method up to limit concentrations. Appropriate positive, solvent (ethanol) and negative (untreated) controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

Additional information
N,N’,N’’-Tricyclohexyl-1-methylsilanetriamine has been tested in a valid bacterial reverse mutation assay, according to the OECD TG 471 (1989), and in compliance with GLP, using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 3538 (Hazleton, 1989). No increase in the number of revertants was observed in any test strain, with or without metabolic activation. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were added and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test. The study was considered reliability 2, because the range of strains tested did not include a strain to detect cross-linking mutagens.
In order to provide data for the ability of the registered (target) substance to act as a cross-linking mutagen data on two source substances are provided.
N,N', N''-Tributyl-1-methylsilanetriamine has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria, in a study which was conducted according to the OECD TG 471, compliant with GLP (Bioservice, 2004a). No evidence of a test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without metabolic activation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 102 in the initial plate incorporation experiment or the repeat assay using the preincubation method up to limit concentrations. Appropriate positive, solvent (ethanol) and negative (untreated) controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test. The study was considered reliability 1.
1,1-Dimethyl-N,N'-bis(1-methylpropyl)silanediamine has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria, in a study which was conducted according to the OECD TG 471, in compliance with GLP (Bioservice, 2004b). No evidence of a test-substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without metabolic activation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 102 in the initial or the repeat experiments using the plate incorporation method up to limit concentrations. Appropriate positive, solvent and negative controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test. The study was considered reliability 1.
N,N’,N’’-Tricyclohexyl-1-methylsilanetriamine has been tested for ability to cause chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells according to OECD TG 473 and in compliance with GLP (Eurofins, 2015). No increase in the number of cells with aberrations was observed either with or without metabolic activation in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Appropriate solvent, negative (treatment medium) and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for the induction of chromosome aberrations under the conditions of this study.
N,N’,N’’-Tricyclohexyl-1-methylsilanetriamine has been tested for mutagenicity in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells according to OECD TG 490, and in compliance with GLP (Eurofins, 2016). No test-substance induced increase in the number of mutations was observed. Appropriate solvent, negative (treatment medium) and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to mammalian cells under the conditions of the study. The study was considered reliability 1.
Read across justification
No data are available for mutagenicity to a bacterial strain capable of detecting cross-linking or oxidising mutagens, therefore data are read-across from the related substances 1,1-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(1-methylpropyl)silanediamine (CAS 93777-98-1) and N,N',N''-tributyl-1-methylsilanetriamine (CAS 16411-33-9). Non-testing methods including read-across from surrogate substances are able to provide information on genetic toxicity (REACH Guidance part 07a, R.7.7.3). In the case of genetic toxicity the presence or absence of functional groups that are known to be related to genetic toxicity is considered important, as the presence or absence of reactive groups and molecular substructures is associated with mutagenic and carcinogenic properties of chemicals (Benigni and Bossa, 2006). Consideration is therefore given to the structural similarity, particularly presence or absence of structural alerts for genetic toxicity, when selecting surrogate substances for genetic toxicity endpoints.
Read-across hypothesis
The hypothesis is that the source (read-across) substances and target (registration) substance have similar systemic toxicological properties because they hydrolyse to similar silanol hydrolysis products (methylsilanetriol and dimethylsilanediol) and alkylamines (cyclohexylamine for the target substance, and n-butylamine and sec-butylamine for the source substances). None of the substances or hydrolysis products have structural alerts for genetic toxicity.
Read-across justification
(a) Structural similarity of parent substances and silicon-containing hydrolysis products
The registration and read-across substances are structurally similar in that they are all silylamines with one or two methyl groups and two or three alkylamine groups bound to a central silicon atom. The target substance has one methyl group and three cyclohexylamine groups bound to silicon. The first source substance (CAS 16411-33-9) has one methyl group and three n-butylamine groups bound to silicon. The difference between this read-across substance and the target substance is that the three cyclohexyl groups in the target substance are replaced by three n-butyl groups in the source substance. The second source substance (CAS93777-98-1) has two methyl groups and two sec-butylamine groups bound to silicon. The differences between this read-across substance the target substance are that (i) there are two methyl groups and two amine groups in the source substance and one methyl group and three amine groups in the target substance, and (ii) the amine groups are sec-butylamine in the source substance and cyclohexylamine in the target substance.
All three substances hydrolyse very rapidly to methylsilanetriol or dimethylsilanediol and an alkylamine.
The registered substance, N,N',N''-tricyclohexyl-1-methylsilanetriamine CAS 15901-40-3 hydrolyses rapidly (hydrolysis half-lives at 25°C, < 3 min at pH 4; < 2 min at pH7 and 5.1 min at pH9). The products of hydrolysis are the amine-functional leaving group, cyclohexylamine (CAS 108-91-8) and the silanol, methylsilanetriol (CAS 2445-53-6).
N,N',N''-Tributyl-1-methylsilanetriamine CAS 16411-33-9 hydrolyses rapidly (hydrolysis half-lives at 25°C, < 2 min at pH 4, 7 and 9). The products of hydrolysis are the amine-functional leaving group, n-butylamine (CAS 109-73-9) and the silanol, methylsilanetriol (CAS 2445-53-6).
1,1-Dimethyl-N,N'-bis(1-methylpropyl)silanediamine CAS 93777-98-1 hydrolyses rapidly (hydrolysis half-lives at 25°C, < 2 min at pH 4, 7 and 9). The products of hydrolysis are the amine-functional leaving group, sec-butylamine (CAS 13952-84-6) and the silanol, dimethylsilanediol (CAS 1066-42-8).
The substances and their hydrolysis products are shown in the table below (see attachment for structures).

(b) Lack of structural alerts
None of the substances or hydrolysis products has structural alerts for genotoxicity (Benigni et al., 2008).
(c) Lack of genetic toxicity of the silanol hydrolysis product
Dimethylsilanediol is not mutagenic in a study which included an appropriate 5th strain (unpublished data). No data are available for methylsilanetriol, but other substances which also hydrolyse to methylsilanetriol give negative results in appropriate strains.
(d) Lack of genetic toxicity of the non-silicon hydrolysis product
The non-silicon hydrolysis product of the registered product, cyclohexylamine does not have data in the disseminated dossier from a bacterial mutagenicity study which tested an appropriate strain. However, a wide range of in vitro and in vivo data are presented which conclude that the substance is not a genetic toxin. In addition, the registered substance has been tested for mutagenicity and cytogenicity to mammalian cells, and no evidence for genetic toxicity has been observed. The data available for the rapidly hydrolysing read-across substances indicates that n-butylamine and sec-butylamine are not of concern for genetic toxicity
