Description of key information
In vitro gene mutation in bacteria: Weight of evidence: Based on read-across approach the experimental data on analogue butanone oxime (test methods similar to OECD 471), butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be negative for genetic toxicity in vitro.
In vitro cytogenicity in mammalian cells: Weight of evidence: Based on read-across approach the experimental data on analogue butanone oxime (test method similar to OECD 473), butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be negative against chromosomal aberrations with and without S9.
In vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells: Key study: Based on read-across approach the experimental data on analogue butanone oxime where mutagenicity was observed only in presence of cytotoxicity and without metabolic activation, there cannot be concluded that butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime induces gene mutation in mammalian cells.

- METHOD OF APPLICATION: Preincubation. Test tube containing a suspension of one strain of Salmonella typhimurium plus S9 mix or plain buffer without S9, is incubated for 20 minutes at 37º C with the test chemical. Control cultures, with all the same ingredients except the test chemical, are also incubated. In addition, positive control cultures are prepared; these contain the particular bacterial tester strain and a known potent mutagen. After 20 minutes, agar is added to the cultures and the contents of the tubes are thoroughly mixed and poured onto the surface of Petri dishes containing standard bacterial culture medium. The plates are incubated, and bacterial colonies that do not require an excess of supplemental histidine appear and grow. These colonies are comprised of bacteria that have undergone reverse mutation to restore function of the histidine -manufacturing gene. The number of colonies is usually counted after 2 days.
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): Top agar supplemented with L-histidine and d-biotin
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 replicates per trial. - Evaluation criteria:
- A positive response is defined as a reproducible, dose-related increase in histidine-independent (revertant) colonies in any one strain/activation combination. An equivocal response is defined as an increase in revertants that is not dose related, is not reproducible, or is not of sufficient magnitude to support a determination of mutagenicity. A negative response is obtained when no increase in revertant colonies is observed following chemical treatment. There was no minimum percentage or fold increase required for a chemical to be judged positive or weakly positive.

- Executive summary:
A Salmonella typhimurium mutagenicity test was performed on methyl ethyl ketoxime according to NTP's preincubation protocol (test method similar to OECD Guideline 471). The Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100 and TA1535 in either with metabolic activation (S9 mix from Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat and Syrian hamster liver) and without metabolic activation were exposed up to 10000 µg/plate test item. Negative and positive controls were performed satisfactorily. No mutagenic responses were observed in strains TA97, TA98, or TA100 with and without S9. Methyl ethyl ketoxime, over a concentration range of 100 to 10000 μg/plate, was mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 in the presence of induced hamster liver S9 but no increase in revertant colonies was observed in strain TA1535 treated in the presence of induced rat liver S9 or without exogenous metabolic activation. Therefore, methyl ethyl ketoxime was at most weakly genotoxic since it induced mutations under very specific conditions.

- METHOD OF APPLICATION: In the test without S9, cells were incubated in McCoy’s 5A medium with methyl ethyl ketoxime for 18 hours; Colcemid was added and incubation continued for 2 hours. The cells were then harvested by mitotic shake-off, fixed, and stained with Giemsa. For the test with S9, cells were treated with methyl ethyl ketoxime and S9 for 2 hours, after which the treatment medium was removed and the cells incubated for 10 hours in fresh medium, with Colcemid present for the final 2 hours. Cells were harvested in the same manner as for the treatment without S9. The harvest time for the test was based on the cell cycle information obtained in the SCE test; because some cytotoxicity and cell cycle delay were anticipated in the absence of S9, the incubation period was extended. Cells were selected for scoring on the basis of good morphology and completeness of karyotype (21 ± 2 chromosomes). All slides were scored blind and those from a single test were read by the same person. Up to 200 first-division metaphase cells were scored at each dose level. Classes of aberrations included simple (breaks and terminal deletions), complex (rearrangements and translocations), and other (pulverized cells, despiralized chromosomes, and cells containing 10 or more aberrations).
- Evaluation criteria:
- Chromosomal aberration data are presented as percentages of cells with aberrations. To arrive at a statistical call for a trial, analyses were conducted on both the dose response curve and individual dose points. For a single trial, a statistically significant (P>=0.05) difference for one dose point and a significant trend (P>=0.003) were considered weak evidence for a positive response; significant differences for two or more doses indicated the trial was positive. A positive trend test, in the absence of a statistically significant increase at any one dose resulted in an equivocal call. Ultimately, the trial calls were based on a consideration of the statistical analyses as well as the biological information available to the reviewers.
- Statistics:
- Significance of percent cells with aberrations tested by the linear regression trend test versus log of the dose. Analyses were conducted on both the dose response curve and individual dose points

- METHOD OF APPLICATION: In the SCE test without S9, CHO cells were incubated for 25.5 hours with methyl ethyl ketoxime in supplemented McCoy’s 5A medium. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) was added 2 hours after culture initiation. After 25.5 hours, the medium containing methyl ethyl ketoxime was removed and replaced with fresh medium plus BrdU and Colcemid, and incubation was continued for 2 hours. Cells were then harvested by mitotic shake-off, fixed, and stained with Hoechst 33258 and Giemsa. In the SCE test with S9, cells were incubated with methyl ethyl ketoxime, serum-free medium, and S9 for 2 hours. The medium was then removed and replaced with medium containing serum and BrdU and no methyl ethyl ketoxime. Incubation proceeded for an additional 25.5 hours, with Colcemid present for the final 2 hours. Harvesting and staining were the same as for cells treated without S9. All slides were scored blind and those from a single test were read by the same person. Up to 50 second-division metaphase cells were scored for frequency of SCEs per cell from each dose level.
- Evaluation criteria:
- An SCE frequency 20% above the concurrent solvent control value was chosen as a statistically conservative positive response. The probability of this level of difference occurring by chance at one dose point is less than 0.01; the probability for such a chance occurrence at two dose points is less than 0.001. An increase of 20% or greater at any single dose was considered weak evidence of activity; increases at two or more doses indicated that the trial was positive. A statistically significant trend (P<0.005) in the absence of any responses reaching 20% above background led to a call of equivocal.
- Statistics:
- Significance of SCEs/chromosome tested by the linear regression trend test versus log of the dose.

- Executive summary:
A Salmonella typhimurium mutagenicity test was performed on analogue substance butanone oxime up to 10000 µg/plane according to NTP's preincubation protocol (test method similar to OECD Guideline 471).

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- At the end of the 13-week drinking water study, blood samples were obtained from male and female mice. Smears were immediately prepared and fixed in absolute methanol. The methanol-fixed slides were stained with a chromatin-specific fluorescent dye (acridine orange) and coded. Slides were scanned to determine the frequency of micronuclei in 2,000 normochromatic eythrocytes (NCEs) in each of 5 animals per exposure group
- Evaluation criteria:
- An individual trial is considered positive if the trend test P value is less than or equal to 0.025 or if the P value for any single exposure group is less than or equal to 0.025 divided by the number of exposure groups. A final call of positive for micronucleus induction is preferably based on reproducibly positive trials. Results of the 13-week studies were accepted without repeat tests, because additional test data could not be obtained. Ultimately, the final call is determined by the scientific staff after considering the results of statistical analyses, the reproducibility of any effects observed, and the magnitudes of those effects.
- Statistics:
- The frequency of micronucleated cells among NCEs was analyzed by a statistical software package that tested for increasing trend over exposure groups with a one-tailed Cochran-Armitage trend test, followed by pairwise comparisons between each exposure group and the control group In the presence of excess binomial variation, as detected by a binomial dispersion test, the binomial variance of the Cochran-Armitage test was adjusted upward in proportion to the excess variation

- Executive summary:
A Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test was performed on methyl ethyl ketoxima according to NTP's standard protocol (test method similar to OECD Guideline 474). 5 mice per sex and per dose were exposed to test item at 0 (control, water), 625, 1250, 2500, 5000 and 10000 ppm (0, 110, 200, 515, 755, 1330 mg/kg bw/day males and 0, 145, 340, 630, 1010, 3170 mg/kg bw/day females) for 13 weeks by drinking water. At the end of the exposure, blood samples were obtained from male and female mice, smears were prepared, fixed in absolute methanol and stained with a chromatin-specific fluorescent dye (acridine orange). Slides were scanned to determine the frequency of micronuclei in 2000 normochromatic eythrocytes (NCEs) in each of 5 animals per exposure group. No increase in the frequency of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes was observed in the peripheral blood of male or female mice administered methyl ethyl ketoxime via drinking water at concentrations from 625 to 10000 ppm (1130 mg/kg bw/day males and 3170 mg/kg bw/day females) for 13 weeks. The percentage of normochromatic erythrocytes among the population of circulating erythrocytes was markedly decreased at the highest dose tested in male and female mice.
- Endpoint:

- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
Butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime undergoes rapid hydrolysis in aqueous to butanone oxime and the corresponding silanol. Silanetriols undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable. Therefore, the observed toxicity is likely due to butanone oxime and their values are comparable.

Additional information
In vitro gene mutation in bacteria: Read-across from experimental data on the analogue substance butanone oxime: Weight of evidence:
A Salmonella typhimurium mutagenicity test was performed on analogue substance butanone oxime up to 10000 µg/plane according to NTP's preincubation protocol (test method similar to OECD Guideline 471). Based on the obteined experimental results, the read-across approach was applied and butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-mutagenic in strains TA97, TA98, or TA100 with and without S9 up to an estimate concentration of 1199.18 µg/plate and mutagenic only in the strain TA1535 and in the presence of induced hamster liver S9 but not in the presence of induced rat liver S9 nor without exogenous metabolic activation.
Moreover, as part of study this study, a NTP's dessicator procedure was performed on the analgoue butanone oxime up to 1 mL/chamber on Salmonella typhimurim strains TA98 and TA100. Based on the read-across approach, butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-mutagenic up to and estimated concentration of 1.20 mL/chamber under test conditions.
Based on the read-across approach from the experimental results obtained in the study conducted by Rogers-Back et al. on the analogue butanone oxime, where the analogue butanone oxime did not induce a mutagenic response in Salmonella typhimurium tested strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538 with and without S9 rat or hamster liver enzyme activation, butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-mutagenic up to an estimated concentration of 1199.18 µg/plate with and with metabolic activation and under test conditions.
In the study performed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, a bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed on the analogue substance butanone oxime in accordance with OECD Guideline 471. The analogue butanone oxime was not mutagenic to any of the strains (Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 andEscherichia coli WP2 uvrA) with or without metabolic activation. Based on these resulta, the read-across approach was applied and butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-mutagenic up to an estimated concentration of 5997.09 µg/plate with and with metabolic activation and under test conditions.
According to the available data, the weight of evidence approach was applied and the test item butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be negative for in vitro gene mutation in bacteria.
In vitro cytogenicity in mammalian cells (chromosome aberration): Read-across from experimental data on analogue butanone oxime: Weight of evidence:
A cytogenetic Chromosome aberration tests with cultured Chinese hamster ovary cells was performed on analogue substance butanone oxime up to 5000 µg/ml according to NTP's standard protocol (test method similar to OECD Guideline 473). No increase in chromosomal aberrations was observed on the analogue substance with or without metabolic activation for a harvest time of 20 and 12 hours respectively. Based on the read-across approach, butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-clastogenic up to and estimated concentration of 5997.09 µg/mL with and without metabolic activation and under test conditions.
In a study performed by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare from Japan, an in vitro mammalian cell chromosome aberration assay was performed on the analogue substance butanone oxime up to 0.87 mg/mL in accordance with Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of Chemicals (Japan). The analogue butanone oxime induced neither structural chromosomal aberrations nor polyploidy in Chinese hamster lung (CHL/IU) cells up to the limit concentration of 10 mM (0.87 mg/ml), in the absence or presence of an exogenous metabolic activation system under test conditions. Base on the read-across approach from these results, butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-clastogenic up to an estimated concentration of 1.04 mg/mL with or without metabolic activation and under test conditions.
The test item butan-2 -one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be negative for in vitro cytogenicity in mammalian cells.
In vitro gene mutation in mammalian cells: Read-across from experimental data on analogue butanone oxime:
Key study: In the study by Rogers-Back et al., a Mouse Lymphoma L5178Y mammalian cell mutagenicity test was performed on the analogue test substance butanone oxime up to 6.5 µg/plate in accordance with a test method similar to OECD Guideline 476. The analogue butanone oxime was negative for mutagenic activity in the presence of S9 metabolic activation, but positive in the absence of S9 metabolic activation and in the presence of cytotoxicity. Based on the read-across approach from these results, butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be non-mutagenic with metabolic activation and mutagenic without metabolic activation but in presence of cytotoxicity up to an estimated concentration of 7.80 µg/plate under test conditions.
Since mutagenicity was observed only in presence of cytotoxicity and in absence of metabolic activation, it cannot be concluded that butan-2 -one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime induced gene mutation in mammalian cells.
In vivo cytogenicity in mammalian cells: Read-across approach from experimental results on the analogue substance butanone oxime:
Key study: A Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test was performed on the analogue substance butanone oxime up to 10000 ppm (1330 mg/kg bw/day in males and 3170 mg/kg bw in females) according to NTP's standard protocol (test method similar to OECD Guideline 474). No increase in the frequency of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes was observed in the peripheral blood of male or female mice administered butanone oxime via drinking water for 13 weeks under test conditions. The percentage of normochromatic erythrocytes among the population of circulating erythrocytes was markedly decreased at the highest dose tested in male and female mice. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and butan-2-one O,O',O''-(vinylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined not to cause cytogenetic damage based on the in-vivo micronucleous test up to an estimated concentration of 11994.18 ppm (1595.23 mg/kg bw/day in males and 3802.16 mg/kg bw/day in females) and under test conditions.
Butan-2 -one O,O',O''-(methylsilanetriyl)oxime was determined to be negative for in vivo cytogenicity in mammalian cells.
