Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:

The test article was prepared in mineral oil and 1:1 Freund's Complete Adjuvant and sterile saline mix at concentrations of 1, 3 and 5% (w/v) for intradermal injection. The test article was also prepared at concentrations of 2.5, 5. 10. 25 and 50% in mineral oil for topical application.

Intradermal: Four animals received 0.1 ml intradermal injections on the dorsal surface. Three pairs of injections were made along the spine of each guinea pig. Each animal received one injection of 1, 3 and 5% test article in mineral oil and in 1:1 Freund's Complete Adjuvant and sterile saline mix.

Topical: 0.3 ml per site were applied under four patches of Whatman No 5 filter paper. The patches were secured with micropore tape, occluded with plastic wrap and overwrapped with non-irritating elastic tape. There were three sites per guinea pig and four sites per concentration. The various concentrations of test article were rotated around the available sites to minimise site-to-site variations in response. The period of exposure was 24 hours, after which the patches were removed and the sites washed with disposable paper towels moistened with tepid tap water.

Mortality:

There were no deaths during the study.

Clinical Observations:

There were no clinical findings noted during the study.

Body weights:

There were no remarkable body weight changes observed during the study.

Dermal observations:

Primary Irritation Phase: Intradermal injections of 5% concentrations of the test article in mineral oil and 1:1 FCA:saline did not cause ulceration of the injection sites and were systemically well-tolerated. Therefore, the 5% concentration was considered appropriate for intradermal induction in the main study.

During the topical range-finding portion of the Primary Irritation Phase, undiluted test article caused minimal dermal irritation and was therefore chosen for the topical induction. As the maximal non-irritation concentration, 10% test article in mineral oil was chosen for challenge dosing.

Challenge Phase: The test group was noted with 15 slight (grade 1) dermal responses for the test article-treated sites and four slight dermal responses for the vehicle-treated sites at the 24-hour observations. All dermal irritation had completely subsided by the 48 -hour observation.

The negative control group was noted with six slight dermal responses for the test article-treated sites and four slight dermal responses for the vehicle-treated sites at the 24-hour observation. All dermal irritation for both sites had completely subsided by the 48-hour observation.

The positive control group animals were noted with nine slight and one moderate (grade 2) dermal reactions at the 24-hour observation and six slight dermal reactions at the 48-hour observation. No dermal irritation was noted on the vehicle-treated sites.

Incidence and Severity Indices:

The Incidence Index for the positive control was 10/10 (100%) following challenge dosing with 10% HCA. The Severity Index was 1.1 and 0.6 at the 24- and 48-hour observations, respectively.

The Incidence Index for the test group was 0/20 (0%) following challenge dosing with 10% Silquest A-1110 Silane. The Severity Index was 0.8 and 0.0 at the 24- and 48 -hour observations, respectively, for the test group and 0.6 and 0.0 at the 24- and 48 -hour observations, respectively, for the negative control group.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a study conducted according to OECD 406 and in compliance with GLP, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine was not sensitising in the guinea pig.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

In the key skin sensitisation study (WIL, 2001), 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine was found to be not sensitising in a test conducted according to OECD 406 (guinea pig maximisation test) and in compliance with GLP.


Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

On the basis of the available data 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine does not require classification as a skin sensitiser according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008. There are no data to suggest that the substance is a respiratory sensitiser.
