Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- Animals were exposed to the test article by acute inhalation. They were sacrificed, the bone marrow is extracted and smear preparations made and stained. Polychromatic erythrocytes are scored for micronuclei under the microscope. Both positive and negative (solvent) controls are used in each experiment.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- At sacrifice the adhering soft tissue and epiphyses of both tibiae were removed. The marrow was aspirated from the bone and transferred to centrifuge tubes containing 5 ml fetal calf serum (one tube for each animal). Following centrifugation to pellet the tissue, the supernatant was drawn off and portions of the pellet was spread on slides and air-dried. The slides were then stained in May-Gruenwald Solution and Giemsa. A thousand polychromatic erythrocytes (PCEs) per animal were scored. The frequency of micronucleated was expressed as percent micronucleated cells based on the total PCEs present in the scored optic field.
- Evaluation criteria:
- In the normal animal, the normocytes/PCE's is approximately 2. If an agent inhibits the proliferation of erythroblasts the proportion of PCE's is generally reduced. If the agent promotes chromosome breakage or acts as a spindle poison, generally the proportion of red normocytes increases.
- Statistics:
- Mean normocyte and polychromatic erythrocytes calculated as well as ratio of normocytes to PCE's

- RESULTS OF RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Dose range: 100 ppm
- Clinical signs of toxicity in test animals: To ensure that the Micronucleus Assay was perfomed on animals exposed to a lethal concentration of the test material (Group A), a second group of animals (Group B) was simultaneously exposed to the chemical via inhalation as a positive control for lethality. The data demonstrates that both groups (A&B) were exposed to a lethal concentration of the test material. All five animals in Group B experienced weight loss and died within the 14 day observation period. At autopsy all five animals showed extensive lung damage with hemorrhage and atelectasis. Animals exposed via inhalation to the test material all showed slight to moderate evidence of lung damage in the form of petechial hemorrhage and focal altelectasis. Some evidence of kidney congestion was noted in several animals. No abnormal pathology was evident in either the positive control (C) or negative control (D) groups.
- Evidence of cytotoxicity in tissue analyzed: The ratio of of normocytes to PCE's obtained with both the test material treatment (Group A = 10.64) and the negative control (Group D = 10.28) closely approximate the normal expected ratio and were fairly consistent. The mean normocyte count from the positive control group was elevated (Group C = 19.4) indicating that the animals responded to a known clastogen (chromosome breaking agent). This same trend verified by the increase in percentage of micronucleated PCEs in the positive control group.
- Harvest times: Group A (Treatment group): 30 hours after exposure. Group B (Toxicity Control): 14 days. Group C (Positive Control): 30 hours. Group D (Negative Control): 30 hours.
- High dose with and without activation: 100 ppm
RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay): Within normal range for all groups
- Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay): Within normal range for all groups
- Statistical evaluation: Comparison of the study groups by Student T-test using a SAS computer program confirms their is no difference between the mean PCE micronucleus count for study groups A and D (test article and negative control) (<.0001) while the positive control is definitely positive (p>0.5) compared to the former groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
In a rat micronucleus assay according to OECD 474 and to GLP, the structural analogue substance trimethoxysilane (CAS: 2487-90-3) did not induce chromosome breakage or act as a spindle poison in the rodent micronucleus assay even when animals were exposed to lethal concentrations. There is no evidence from this study that the mechanism of kill at toxic levels of exposure involves genotoxicity. The test substance is non-mutagenic in Sprague-Dawley rats in this mammalian micronucleus assay.
