Conclusions:

The median Effective concentration (EC50) value for 3-Bromoquinoline on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata in a 72 hour study was estimated to be 129 mg/L on the basis of effects on growth rate.

Executive summary:

Using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic algae and cyanobacteria was predicted for target substance 3-Bromoquinoline (CAS no. 5332 -24 -1). EC50 value was estimated to be 129 mg/l for Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 h duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance 3-Bromoquinoline is considered to be non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information

Predicted data for the target chemical 3-Bromoquinoline (CAS No. 5332-24-1) and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across substances with logKow as the primary descriptorwere reviewed for toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria endpoint to summarize the following information:

 

Short term toxicity on aquatic algae and cyanobacteria of target chemical3-Bromoquinoline (CAS No. 5332-24-1) is predicted using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances (2017).On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system, the effect concentration EC50 value for the substance is estimated to be 129 mg/l for Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance 3-Bromoquinoline is considered to be non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2017) of the read across chemical Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-. methyl ester (CAS no. 99-76-3), short term toxicity to green algae study was carried out for 72 hrs. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test).The study was based on the effects of the read across compound Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-. methyl ester on green algae in a static fresh water system. Based on effect on growth rate of the test organism green algae, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 56 and 17 mg/l, respectively and on the basis of AUG, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 30 and 17 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-. methyl ester can be considered as toxic to aquatic organisms. Since the chemical is readily biodegradable in nature, chemical Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-. methyl ester can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

For the read across chemical 1-Hydroxy-3-amino-benzene (CAS no. 591-27-5), short term toxicity to green algae study was carried out for 72 hrs. The study was based on the effects of the read across compound 1-Hydroxy-3-amino-benzene on green algae in a static fresh water system. Based on effect on growth rate of the test organism green algae, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 160 and 25 mg/l, respectively and on the basis of biomass and areas under the growth curves, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 62 and 25 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value (160 mg/l), it can be concluded that the substance 1-Hydroxy-3-amino-benzene can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Thus, based on the overall reported results for target chemical3-Bromoquinoline(OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3, 2017) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database J-CHECK), it can be concluded that the test substance 3-Bromoquinoline can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be notclassified as per the CLP classification criteria.
