Additional information

Predicted data for target compound Trisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato-2-naphthyl] azo]benzoate (CAS no. 6598 -63 -6) and supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across chemicals with log Kow as a primary descriptor were reviewed for the biodegradation endpoint which are summarized as below.

In first predicted data study the biodegradability of test chemical Trisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]azo]benzoate was estimated by using OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 using log Kow as primary descriptor. The test chemical Trisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]azo]benzoate showed 0.14 % biodegradation by considering BOD as parameter and microorganisms as inoculum in 28 days. Based on Percent biodegradability it is concluded that this test chemical is not readily biodegradable.

 

Next weight of evidence study was done by using Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2017) to estimate the biodegradation potential of the test chemicalTrisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]azo]benzoate in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms. The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical Trisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]azo]benzoateis not readily biodegradable.

 

The supporting weight of evidence study was done from authoritative database (J Check, 2017) for tread across chemical disodium 4-amino-3-[(E)-2-(4-{4-[(E)-2-(2,4-diaminophenyl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]-5-hydroxy-6-[(E)-2-phenyldiazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate (CAS no. 1937-37-7). In this study the read across chemical was subjected to biodegradation test by taking activated sludge as inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration. Biodegradation was analysed by using BOD, TOC and HPLC parameters. The initial concentration of read across chemical was 100 mg/L. The study design used was of standard type. The read across chemical disodium 4-amino-3-[(E)-2-(4-{4-[(E)-2-(2,4-diaminophenyl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]-5-hydroxy-6-[(E)-2-phenyldiazen-1-yl]naphthalene- 2,7-disulfonate showed 0 % biodegradation by all three parameters namely BOD, TOC and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Based on percent biodegradability it is concluded that read across chemical disodium 4-amino-3-[(E)-2-(4-{4-[(E)-2-(2,4-diaminophenyl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]-5-hydroxy-6-[(E)-2-phenyldiazen-1-yl] naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate is not readily biodegradable.

 

Similarly another supporting weight of evidence study was also done from same source as mentione d above (J check, 2017) for another read across chemical tetrasodium 3,3'-[carbonylbis[imino(2-methyl-4,1-phenylene)azo]]bisnaphthalene-1,5-disulphonate (CAS no. 3214-47-9). In this study the read across chemical was subjected to biodegradation test by taking sludge as inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration. Biodegradation was analysed by using BOD, TOC and HPLC parameters. The initial concentration of read across chemical was 100 mg/L and study design was of standard type. The read across chemical tetrasodium 3,3'-[carbonylbis[imino(2-methyl-4,1-phenylene)azo]]bisnaphthalene-1,5-disulphonateshowed 13 % biodegradation by TOC parameter and 0 % biodegradation by other two parameters namely BOD and HPLC in 28 days. Based on percent biodegradability it is concluded that read across chemical tetrasodium 3,3'-[carbonylbis[imino(2-methyl-4,1-phenylene)azo]]bisnaphthalene-1,5-disulphonate is not readily biodegradable.

 

On the basis of above results for target chemical Trisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato -2-naphthyl]azo]benzoate ( CAS no. 6598 -63 -6) from ( EPI suite 2017 and OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 2017) and for its read across substances ( from authoritative database) the target chemicalTrisodium 4-[[1-hydroxy-6-[[[[5-hydroxy-6-(phenylazo)-7-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]amino]carbonyl]amino]-3-sulphonato-2-naphthyl]azo]benzoatecan be expected to be not readily biodegradable.
