Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per concentration

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: condition of bacterial lawn and reduction in the number of revertants

METABOLIC ACTIVATION: The S9 mix contained 5% S9 from Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver, and NADP and glucose-9-phosphate as co-factors. 0.5 ml of S9 mix were added to top agar, bacterial suspension and test material (or solvent or positive control) to a final volume of 2.7 ml and a final S9 concentration of approximately 1%.
Evaluation criteria:
A result is considered positive if the number of revertants is significantly increased compared with the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535 and TA 1537 in both experiments.

Positive results have to be reproducible and the histidine independence of the revertants has to be confirmed by streaking on histidine-free agar
plates.

Cytotoxicity is defined as a reduction in the number of colonies by >50% compared with the solvent control and/or a sparse background lawn.
Statistics:
MANN and WHITNEY and Spearman’s rank.

Conclusions:
N-(dimethylvinylsilyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1-vinylsilylamine has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a reliable study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471, and in compliance with GLP. No test-substance meditated increase in the number of revertants was observed when the substance was tested up to cytotoxic concentration in S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 either with or without metabolic activation. The results were confirmed in a second independent experiment. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
phenobarbital and ß-naphthoflavone-induced Wistar rat liver S9 mix
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Pre-expt: 0.020, 0.039, 0.078, 0.16, 0.31, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mM (+/-MA); Expt I: 7.0, 8.5 and 10.0 mM (-MA); 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0 mM (+MA); Expt II: 8, 9 and 10 mM (+/-MA)

-Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: due to the nature of the test item N-(dimethylvinylsilyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1-vinylsilylamine it could be dissolved in Acetone at a concentration of 4 M. To reach a final concentration of 0.25% solvent v/v in the treatment medium the solution was diluted in cell culture medium (MEM) and treated with ultrasound for around 2 to 3 minutes. The solvent was compatible with the survival of the cells and the S9 activity.

Evaluation criteria:
There are several criteria for determining a positive result:
- a clear and dose-related increase in the number of cells with aberrations,
- a biologically relevant response for at least one of the dose groups, which is higher than the laboratory negative control range (0.0% - 4.0% aberrant cells (with and without metabolic activation)).


Statistics:
According to OECD guidelines, the biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results is not regarded as necessary.

Conclusions:
N-(dimethylvinylsilyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1-vinylsilylamine has been tested in a reliable study conducted according to OECD TG 473 and under GLP. No test substance related increase in the incidence of structural or numerical chromosome aberrations was observed when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations with and without metabolic activation, in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the substance is not clastogenic or aneugenic (i.e. it does not induce structural or numerical chromosome aberrations) under the conditions of the test.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium (dissolved in acetone (final concentration of 0.25% solvent v/v in the samples)). As the test item formed precipitate upon addition to the samples, cells were incubated with a test item suspension.

DURATION: 4 h (short-term exposure), 24 h (long-term exposure)
Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 h
Selection time (if incubation with selection agent): about 14 days

SELECTION AGENT ( mutation assay) 5 µg/mL trifluorothymidine
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: two separate experiments (I+II) with single exposure; cells were seeded in 4 plates and evaluated
NUMBER OF CELLS SEEDED: 2000 cells per well
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: relative total growth (RTG)
Evaluation criteria:
The test item is considered mutagenic if following criteria are met:
-The induced mutant frequency meets or exceeds the Global Evaluation factor (GEF) of 126 mutants per 10^6 cells
- A dose-dependent increase in mutant frequency is detected.

Besides, combined with a positive effect in the mutant frequency, an increased occurrence of small colonies (≥40% of total colonies) is an indication for potential clastogenic effects and/or chromosomal aberrations.
According to the OECD guideline, the biological relevance is considered first for the interpretation of results. Statistical methods might be used as an aid in evaluation the test result.
A test item is considered to be negative if the induced mutant frequency is below the GEF and the trend test is negative.

Statistics:
The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test is applied to the mutation data to prove the dose groups for any significant difference in mutant frequency compared to the solvent controls.

Appropriate solvent, negative (test medium) and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for the induction of mutations in mammalian cells under the conditions of the test.

Additional information

Data are available for the registered substance from reliable in vitro studies on mutagenicity to bacterial and mammalian cells, and cytogenicity to mammalian cells. Where there was more than one result for an endpoint, the most reliable study was chosen as key study.

N-(Dimethylvinylsilyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1-vinylsilylamine has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a reliable study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002). The study is considered to be reliability 1. No test-substance mediated increase in the number of revertants was observed when the substance was tested up to cytotoxic concentration in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 either with or without metabolic activation. The results were confirmed in a second independent experiment. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity to bacteria under the conditions of the test. Supporting data is also available from a study conducted according to a protocol that is similar to OECD Test Guideline 471. No increase in revertants was observed in S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA 1538 (Microbial Associates, 1978).

Information on the potential for cytogenicity of N-(dimethylvinylsilyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1-vinylsilylamine is available from a reliable study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 473 and in compliance with GLP (BSL Bioservice, 2012a). The study is considered to be reliability 1. No test substance related increase in the incidence of structural or numerical chromosome aberrations was observed when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations with and without metabolic activation, in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the substance is not clastogenic or aneugenic (i.e. it does not induce structural or numerical chromosome aberrations) under the conditions of the test.

Appropriate solvent, negative (test medium) and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for the induction of mutations in mammalian cells under the conditions of the test.

In vivo testing is not required as no evidence for genetic toxicity was found in the in vitro studies.


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vitro genotoxicity data, N-(dimethylvinylsilyl)-1,1-dimethyl-1-vinylsilylamine is not classified for mutagenicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
