Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: lumbar region
- % coverage: approximately 10%
- Type of wrap if used: porous (< 8 ply) gauze held in place with a non irritating dressing, and further covered by a waterproof dressing

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit):1.982 mL/kg bw

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 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: All rabbits were observed twice daily for mortality and morbidity. The bodyweight of each animal was recorded on Days 1 (prior to dosing), 8 and 15. Animals were observed immediately after dosing and at approximately hourly intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days animals were observed twice.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: Dermal responses were examined on Day 2 to 15. Skin reactions were scored according to the Draize scoring system. A gross macroscopic examination of each animal was conducted.

Statistics:

Mean body weights were calculated. No other statistical analyses were conducted.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: No deaths.

Mortality:

No deaths occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: There were no treatment-related clinical signs of toxicity, except fecal disturbance in one female rabbit.

Gross pathology:

No abnormal findings.

Other findings:

Persistent slight to moderate irritation (erythema with or without oedema up to Grade 3) was evident in all rabbits following removal of the dressings and over the following days. These reactions had notably ameliorated by the second week of the study with resolution in all but three animals complete by Day 15. In the remaining rabbits slight erythema (Grade 1) was still evident at study termination. Also notable in all rabbits during the first days following treatment was a very dry texture to the skin over the treatment site, desquamation of the skin on the treatment site (all rabbits and present in six rabbits at study termination) and in one rabbit localised necrosis/blanching evident throughout the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In an acute dermal toxicity study conducted to EPA OPPTS 870.1200 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) and to GLP (reliability score 1) the LD50 for N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine was at least 2000 mg/kg bw in rabbits. No deaths occurred at this dose. There were no clinical signs, macroscopic findings, or significant effects on bodyweight. The only findings were irritation at the application site.
