Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Oral (EPA OPPTS 870.1100), rat: LD50 = 2295 mg/kg bw (RA from CAS 1760-24-3)

Inhalation (EPA OPPTS 870.1300), rat: LC50 = 1.49 - 2.44 mg/L (RA from CAS 1760-24-3)

Dermal (EPA OPPTS 870.1200), rabbit: LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw (RA from CAS1760-24-3)

Furthermore, the registration substance contains 40% silane and 60% methanol. Therefore, the harmonised EU classification of methanol has to be taken into account for the evalulation of the hazard of CAS 171869-89-9.

Conclusions:

An acute dermal toxicity study conducted to EPA OPPTS 870.1200 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) and to GLP (reliability score 1) is available with the source substance N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine. The LD50 was at least 2000 mg/kg bw in rabbits as no deaths occurred at the highest dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. There were no clinical signs, macroscopic findings, or significant effects on bodyweight. The only findings were irritation at the application site. Three further supporting studies are available which support the key study. As explained in the analogue justification, it is considered that the target and the source substances are unlikely to lead to differences in acute dermal toxicity potential.

Additional information

No data on acute oral, inhalation, or dermal toxicity is available for 1,2-ethanediamine, N-{3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl}-,N-{(ethenylphenyl)methyl}derivate,hydrochlorides (CAS 171869-89-9). The registration substance contains 40% silane and 60% methanol. Hence, to address the acute toxicity hazard of methanol, the harmonised EU classifications for methanol was adopted for CAS 171869-89-9. On the other hand, the acute toxicity hazard of the silane 1,2-ethanediamine, N-{3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl}-,N-{(ethenylphenyl)methyl}derivate,hydrochlorides was addressed based on the available data from the source substance, N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine (CAS 1760-24-3). In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and following the Read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) read across from an analogue substance has been applied to support the human health hazard assessment of 1,2-ethanediamine, N-{3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl}-,N-{(ethenylphenyl)methyl}derivate,hydrochlorides (CAS 171869-89-9). Details on read across justifications can be found in the attached justification in the respective target entry and in the overall justification for grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.

Acute Oral

An LD50 value of 2295 mg/kg bw in rats is reported in the key acute oral study with the structural analogue substance (CAS 1760-24-3), conducted according to EPA OPPTS 870.1100 (Acute Oral Toxicity) and to GLP (Dow Corning Corporation, 2001). Deaths occurred at 3000 and 5000 mg/kg bw but in no other groups (500 and 1200 mg/kg bw). Overt toxicity including hunched posture, waddling or unsteady gait, pallid extremities, abnormal respiration or lethargy occurred at 1200 mg/kg bw and above. All animals that died had congestive changes in the majority of organs and tissues.

Three other rat gavage studies conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, with or without GLP (reliability 1 or 2), provide LD50 values in excess of that of the key study (Mellon Institute 1966 and 1975; Wacker, 1992). A more limited study cited in the SIAR of 2003, for which it has not been possible to obtain the primary source (reliability 4), gives LD50 values in male and female rats of 2.3 and 1.7 mL/kg bw, respectively (Tejin, undated). These latter values would not give cause to cast doubt on the validity of a classification based on the key and supporting studies.

  

Acute Inhalation

Five rats of each sex and dose were exposed to the structural analogue (CAS 1760 -24 -3) in a whole body exposure chamber for 4 h at concentrations (aerosols) of 0.515, 1.06, 1.49, 2.44 and 5.75 mg/L. The animals were observed for 14 days after administration. The LC50 was calculated to be > 1.49 - < 2.44 mg/L air. Eight out of ten animals (5 male, 3 female) died at a concentration of 2.44 mg/L during the observation period. Nine out of 10 animals (5 male, 4 female) died during the observation period when exposed to the highest concentration of 5.75 mg/l. The predominant clinical signs detected during exposure were exaggerated breathing and partially closed eyes in all test groups as well as reduced motor activity in exposure groups 0.515 to 2.44 mg/L. Clinical signs recorded during the observation period were irregular noisy and/or exaggerated breathing in all groups as well as partially closed eyes in all treated groups, except the 0.515 mg/L group. Ataxia was observed in the two female rats from the 2.44 mg/l group that survived. A dose-related reduction in body weight gain over the observation period was observed in animals from 0.515 to 1.49 mg/L. Gross pathology revealed severely congested lungs in all deceased animals, which is considered to be associated with the cause of death. Pale raised lungs were also observed in the lungs of a proportion of surviving rats of both sexes in all other groups exposed to the test aerosol. Food consumption by the test groups was lower compared to the control group during the observation period.

 

Acute Dermal

An LD50 in rabbits greater that 2000 mg/kg bw was identified in the key acute dermal toxicity study with the structural analogue substance (CAS 1760 -24 -3), conducted according to EPA OPPTS 870.1200 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) and to GLP (Dow Corning Corporation, 2000b). At this limit dose there were no deaths, clinical signs of concern, macroscopic findings or significant effects on bodyweight. The only findings were irritation at the application site.

A further limit study conducted in the rat to a standard guideline and GLP, reliability 1, reported the LD50 as >2009 mg/kg bw (Hazelton France, 1992). Two studiesin the rabbit, one sufficiently documented but without GLP and reliability 2 (Mellon Institute, 1975) and one identified only as a brief report and therefore reliability 4 (Mellon Institute, 1966) reported LD50 values in excess of that of the key study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available experimental data with a structural analogue on acute oral and dermal toxicity do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification. For acute inhalation toxicity with a structural analogue available data meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and is therefore classified as acute toxic Category 4 (H332). However, due to the constituent methanol not present in the tested material but relevant for substance identity, classification and labelling as acute toxic Category 3 (H301, H311 and H331) as well as for STOT SE 1 (oral, dermal, inhalation; H370) of the substance according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 is warranted due to the presence of the constituent = 60%.
