Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
peanut oil
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 21.5 ml/kg
Doses:
5110 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Five
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were continuously observed for the first 4 to 6 hours after administration and then once daily. Mortality was checked twice daily. Body weights were recorded before the first dose and then on days 7 and 14, or after death.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, a gross necropsy was performed on all animals. Macroscopic examinations included external appearance, body orifices, body cavities (thoracic and abdominal), and their contents.
Statistics:
None. LD50s were estimated.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
>= 5 110 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: The study report states that the LD50 for females is approximately 5110 mg/kg bw, however, only 1/5 females died. Therefore the author of this study record has concluded that the overall LD50 is at least 5110 mg/kg bw for males and females.
Mortality:
One female animal died on day 7 after administration.
Clinical signs:
other: Signs of intoxication were slight to moderate hypokinesia, diarrhoea and piloerection in male and female rats. In addition, individual female animals showed coordination disturbances, stilted gait, red encrusted snout, strenuous respiration, sunken sides
Gross pathology:
At necropsy no abnormalities were detected. Only in the deceased female rat the gastro-intestinal tract was severely autolytic.
Other findings:
None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study conducted to the now deleted OECD 401 and in compliance with GLP (reliability score 1) the LD50 for triethoxy(octyl)silane was at least 5110 mg/kg bw in rats. Signs of intoxication were slight to moderate hypokinesia, diarrhoea and piloerection in male and female rats. In addition, individual female animals showed coordination disturbances, stilted gait, red encrusted snout, strenuous respiration, sunken sides and vocalisation on handling. In general symptoms were observed on days two to three. In one female, first symptoms appeared 160 minutes after administration. In individual females signs of toxicity lasted for 14 days or until death. In male animals symptoms lasted at most for three days. There were body weight reductions in males and females. At necropsy no abnormalities were detected. Only in the deceased female rat the gastro-intestinal tract was severely autolytic.
