- TEST SYSTEM
The test vessels were glass cylinders graduated to 10 ml. Each concentration had 4 replicate vessels and each vessel contained 5 test organisms. The age of the test organisms was <24 hours and they were not fed during the test. Vessels were kept in the dark at 20ºC and not aerated during the test.
The dilution water was synthetic fresh water with a hardness of approximately 294 mg/L as CaCO3. - Reference substance (positive control):

Additional information
The only available test data for short-term toxicity of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine (CAS 13822-56-5) to invertebrates are of non-assignable reliability, taken from a secondary data source. An EC50 value of 302 mg/l was reported.
Reliable data are however available from appropriate structural analogues, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (CAS 919-30-2) and 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate (CAS 15396-00-6), which react in water to the same hydrolysis product as the registration substance, 3-aminopropylsilanetriol.
A 48-hour EC50 value of 331 mg/l (nominal concentration) has been determined for the effects of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (CAS 919-30-2) on mobility of Daphnia magna, in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 202.
In view of the test media preparation method and exposure regime it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to the hydrolysis products of the tested substance. The results may be expressed in terms of concentration of the hydrolysis product, 3-aminopropylsilanetriol, by applying a molecular weight correction: (MW of silanol = 137.21 / MW of parent = 221.37) * 331 mg/l = 205 mg/l. This value is read across to 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine (CAS 13822-56-5) without further correction.
A 48-hour LC50 of 580 mg/l have also been determined for the effects of the same read-across substance on mortality of the marine invertebrate Acartia tonsa. The test substance is susceptible to hydrolysis and it is therefore likely that the test organisms were exposed to the hydrolysis products of the substance. The LC50 is equivalent to 360 mg/l expressed in terms of concentration of the hydrolysis product.
These findings are supported by a 48-hour EC50 in Daphnia magna of >100 mg/l, determined for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate (CAS 15396-00-6). For this substance the isocyanate group is very rapidly hydrolysed to the corresponding amine, which is structurally identical to the registration substance (half-life <1 minute at pH 7), and further hydrolysis of the alkoxy groups proceeds at a slower rate (half-life of 2.6 hours at pH 7 and 20-25 °C, estimated) to 3-aminopropylsilanetriol and methanol.
Refer to the IUCLID Section 6 endpoint summary (Section 7.0 of the CSR) for further discussion of the approach to chemical safety assessment for this registration substance, and justification for read-across used.
