DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Background lawn assessment, revertant colony counts - 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 WP2 uvrA and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535 and TA 1537 in both experiments.
A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration. An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent experiment.
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:

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: With metabolic activation, the number of colonies did not quite reach the lower limit of historical control data in strain TA 1537, (negative and solvent control, exp 1), and in strain WP2 uvrA (negative control exp 1and 2, solvent control exp 1). Since these deviations are rather small, these effects are considered to be based upon biologically irrelevant fluctuations in the number of colonies. - Conclusions:
- The substance RMS 808 MC has been tested according to OECD 471 and under GLP. No increase in the number of revertants was observed for the test substance tested up to cytotoxic or limit concentrations in any of the test strains either with or without metabolic activation in either the initial plate incorporation assay or the independent pre-incubation experiment . It is concluded that the test substance is not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.

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)
ACTIVATION: S9 mix contained glucose-6-phosphate and NADP as co-factors, and sufficient S9 to give a final protein concentration in the cultures of 0.75 mg/ml - 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 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 negative /solvent controls.

- Positive controls validity:

- Conclusions:
- Triethoxyoctylsilane has been tested for mutagenicity to mammalian cells in a reliable study conducted according to OECD TG 476 and in compliance with GLP. No biologically relevant increase in mutation rate was found in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells with or without metabolic activation in either the initial or the repeat experiment, up to limit and cytotoxic concentrations. The global evaluation factor was not exceeded at any concentration. In addition, colony sizing showed no clastogenic effects in either 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.

Additional information
Data are available for trimethoxy(octyl)silane (CAS 3069-40-7) from a reliable in vitro study for bacterial mutagenicity (Dow Corning Corporation 2003). An additional bacterial mutagenicity study is also available (Anawa Bioservice, 1996). The results of both experiments were in agreement. No further data are available for the registered substance, however, reliable data are available for the related substance triethoxy(octyl)silane, CAS 2943-75-1 from in vitro studies on cytogenicity and mutagenicity to mammalian cells. Both the structurally-analogous substance, triethoxy(octyl)silane, CAS 2943-75-1 and the registered substance, trimethoxy(octyl)silane, CAS 3069-40-7, hydrolyse to octylsilanetriol. Hydrolysis is likely to occur under the conditions of the studies and also in vivo. The other products of hydrolysis, methanol and ethanol, are not genotoxic OECD (2004a and OECD 2004b).
Triethoxy(octyl)silane was chosen as read-across substance as it has the same hydrolysis product as trimethoxy(octyl)silane, and neither substance has any functional groups that are associated with genetic toxicity. Additional information is given in a supporting report (PFA (2013aa)) attached in Section 13.
Trimethoxy(octyl)silane has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP (Dow Corning Corporation (2003). No increase in the number of revertants was observed for the test substance tested up to cytotoxic or limit concentrations in any of the test strains either with or without metabolic activation in either the initial plate incorporation assay or the independent pre-incubation experiment. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
Additional evidence for lack of mutagenicity to bacteria is available from a study conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD Test Guideline 471 (Anawa Bioservice, 1996). No evidence of mutagenicity was observed with or without metabolic activation when trimethoxyoctylsilane was tested in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA1537 and TA 1538.
In a cytogenicity study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 473 and in compliance with GLP, no evidence of the induction of chromosome aberration was observed when the analogous substance, triethoxy(octyl)silane, was tested with or without metabolic activation in CHO K1 cells (MA Bioservices 1997).
The structural analogue triethoxy(octyl)silane has been tested for mutagenicity to mammalian cells in a reliable study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 476 and in compliance with GLP (BSL Bioservice, 2012). No biologically relevant increase in mutation rate was found in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells with or without metabolic activation in either the initial or the repeat experiment, up to limit and cytotoxic concentrations. The global evaluation factor was not exceeded at any concentration. In addition, colony sizing showed no clastogenic effects in either experiment. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity under the conditions of the test.
There is no justification from in vitro results for testing in vivo.
See attachment to Section 13 for justification of read-across.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available in vitro genotoxicity data, trimethoxy(octyl)silane is not classified for mutagenicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
