Effect levels

Dose descriptor:
NOEL
Remarks:
Systemic NOEL
Effect level:
>= 1 other: ml/kg
Sex:
male
Basis for effect level:
other: Stated in report that severe scaling occurred in this dose group.However, no system effects were observed.

Target system / organ toxicity

Critical effects observed:
not specified

Any other information on results incl. tables

None of the rabbits died, but there were significant body weight and kidney weight changes at the 2 ml/kg dosage level.  Severe scaling and minor erythema were noted at 2 ml/kg, with only severe scaling at 1.0 ml/kg. 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a severely limited study summary the systemic NOEL following 8 dermal applications of Silquest® A-186 Silane was 1.0 ml/kg.
Executive summary:

To determine if the potential for systemic toxicity following cumulative exposure to A-186, two groups of male albino rabbits each received 8 inunctions of the clipped skin of the trunk over a 19-day period. Two dosage levels (1.0 and 2.0 ml/kg/inunction) were tested.  None of the rabbits died, but there were significant body weight and kidney weight changes at the 2 ml/kg dosage level.  Severe scaling and minor erythema were noted at 2 ml/kg, with only severe scaling at 1.0 ml/kg.  A no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) of 1.0 ml/kg was determined in this study.
