Description of key information

In the key acute oral toxicity study, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD TG 401, but not compliant with GLP, the reported LD50 value for 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]guanidine was 3.67 mL/kg bw, equivalent to 3743 mg/kg bw (Shin-Etsu, 1983).

Additional information

In the key acute oral toxicity study, conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD TG 401, but not compliant with GLP, the reported LD50 value for 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]guanidine was 3.67 mL/kg bw (Shin-Etsu, 1983). Assuming a density of 1.02 gm/cm3, this is equivalent to 3743 mg/kg bw.

Following oral administration of 2.07, 2.49, 2.99, 3.58 or 4.30 mL/kg bw of undiluted test material to 5 males and 5 females per dose, sedation, rough coats and signs of unconsciousness during the first 4 hours post-administration were observed. Mortalities were evident in males treated with 2.99, 3.58 and 4.30 ml/kg bw, and females treated with 3.58 and 4.30 ml/kg bw. Deaths occurred between 3 and 21 hours post-administration. The survivors recovered gradually and looked healthy by the end of the study. No changes in body weight gain were noted, as well as no treatment-related macroscopic abnormalities at necropsy.


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]guanidine is not classified for acute toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
