- Weight at study initiation: males 237-259 g ; females 166-183 g
- Fasting period before study: none
- Housing: The rats were kept individually in IVC cages, type IP H, polysulphone cages on Altromin saw fibre bedding.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Altromin 1324 maintenance diet for rats and mice
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water, sulphur acidified to a pH value of approx. 2.8
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 3
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 10 %
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal area of the trunk
- % coverage: 10
- Type of wrap if used: gauze-dressing and non-irritating tape plus additional dressing

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: yes
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg per body weight
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males and 5 non-pregnant females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to the application), on days 8 and 15. Observations for clinical signs were noted 30 minutes after application, then at 4 hours and then daily. Special attention was paid to changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, circulatory, respiratory, autonomic and central nervous system as well as somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern were examined.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: At the end of the study all the surviving animals were killed by overdosage with pentobabrital injected intraperitoneally. All gross pathological changes were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted to the OECD 402 and to GLP, the LD50 for 2,4-hexadienoic acid, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl ester was > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity following the application of a single dose of the test item was determined. The study was performed as a limit test according to OECD 402 and OPPTS 870.1200.

Five male and five female WISTAR Crl: (WI(Han) rats were selected for testing. The fur was removed from the dorsal area of the trunk using an electric clipper. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin, and only animals with healthy intact skin were used. At least 10% of the body surface was cleared for the application. Prior to application, a detailed clinical observation was made for all animals.

The neat test item was applied uniformly over an area which was approximately 10% of the total body surface. The test item was held in contact with the skin by a dressing throughout the 24 hour period. The dressing consisted of a gauze-dressing and not-irritating tape and was fixed with an additional dressing in a suitable manner.

Under the conditions of the study, single dermal application of the test item to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with neither mortality nor signs of toxicity but signs of irritation. Therefore, the dermal LD₅₀ was determined to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.
