Toxicological information

Repeated dose toxicity: oral

Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term repeated dose toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
EAC3 undergoes rapid hydrolysis in aqueous to acetone oxime and the corresponding ethylsilanetriol. Silanetriols undergo continuous condensation reactions to produce higher molecular weight siloxanes which are considered biologically unavailable. Therefore, the observed toxicity is likely due to the acetone oxime and their values are comparable. Moreover, the analogue methyl isobutyl ketoxime, which shares the same functional groups with acetone oxime, also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties and they are toxicologically equivalent.

Details on results:
Based on the experimental results obtained in the analogue substance MIBKO, where the NOAEL for 90 days oral exposure in male and female rats was determined to be 15 mg/kg bw/day based on the effects on red blood cells, resulting in associated changes in the spleen), the read-across approach was applied and the NOAEL (90 days, oral) for EAC3 in rats was estimated to be 11.87 mg/kg bw/day in rats.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the read-across approach from experimental data on analogue substance MIBKO (OECD Guideline 408, GLP study), the NOAEL of EAC3 for 90 days oral exposure in rats was determined to be 11.87 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

A 90 days oral repeated dose toxicity test was performed on the analogue substance MIBKO according to OECD Guideline 407 and GLP. The NOAEL was determined to be 15 mg/kg bw/day in rats based on the effects on red blood cells, resulting in associated changes in the spleen were observed at 50 mg/kg bw/day. Based on these results, the read-across was applied and the NOAEL of EAC3 for 90 days oral exposure in rats was estimated to be 11.87 mg/kg bw/day under the test conditions (effects at an estimated concentration of 39.57 mg/kg bw/day).
