Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
No experimental test has been performed. Read-across is done to a similar structure (CAS 1073607-50-7). This substance has a LC50 of 1.4 mg/L or more. As a result this substance is considered to have a EC50 of at least 1.4 mg/L.

Read-across justification
Toxicity on aquatic algae on v516690 (IUPAC name 4-[2-[(E)-2-[(3E)-2-chloro-3-[(2E)-2-[1,1-dimethyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)benzo[e]indol-2-ylidene]ethylidene]inden-1-yl]vinyl]-1,1-dimethyl-benzo[e]indol-3-ium-3-yl]butane-1-sulfonate) is a data requirement for REACH dossiers 1-10 tonnes/year. Since information on this endpoint is lacking for this substance, read-across to the structurally similar substance infrazam (EC number: 700-626-0; CAS number: 1073607-50-7) is suggested. RAAF scenario 2 is applicable since the hypothesis is based on a different compound having the same type of effect.
The target substance has an additional aromatic group in comparison to infrazam.
Based on the OECD QSAR toolbox profiling application, both substances have a similar profile: both are not considered estrogen receptor binders, are not expected to bind to proteins (OASIS v1.1 and OECD) and fall within the same Cramer class (Class III) (possible significant toxicity).
Regarding in vitro mutagenicity (Ames alerts by ISS) no alert was found for both substances.
However, both substances have a H-acceptor-path3-H-acceptor alert (in vivo mutagenicity alerts by ISS). This alert explores the possibility that a chemical could potentially interact with DNA and/or proteins via non-covalent binding (Snyder et al. 2006[1]).
The only difference between the source and target substance in OECD QSAR toolbox is a structural alert for genotoxic carcinogenicity, only for v516690 based on alkenylbenzene presence. However the alkenyl-group should be available to react which is not the case, since the alkenyl group is part of a ring. This difference can therefore be refuted and is not considered relevant.
Biotransformation of both substances can be expected. OECD QSAR toolbox did not find any observed metabolites, but renders only simulated metabolites. The mechanism of biotransformation is expected to be very similar and not trigger any additional toxicity.
The outcome of the ECOSARv1.11 for the source and read-across substance are very similar i.e. 48h LC50-green algae of 0.181 and 0.288 mg/L respectively, show that both substances behave similar.
Moreover the water solubility and Log Kow are very similar. Both substances have a water solubility around 1-10 g/L. The Log Kow is 1.9 for the target substance v516690 and 1.2 for infrazam.
A fresh water algal growth inhibition test is available for infrazam. Since the read-across substance is structurally very similar and no additional alerts have been found in OECD QSAR toolbox, it can be concluded that v516690 has a similar toxicity to algae.
