Description of key information
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment
BCFBAF model of Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical Tributylmethylammonium chloride (CAS No. 56375 -79 -2). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Tributylmethylammonium chloride was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical Tributylmethylammonium chloride is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
Additional information
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment
Various predicted data for the target compound Tributylmethylammonium chloride (CAS No. 56375-79-2) and supporting weight of evidence studies for its structurally similar read across substance were reviewed for the bioaccumulation end point which are summarized as below:
In a prediction done using the BCFBAF Program of Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical Tributylmethylammonium chloride (CAS No. 56375 -79 -2). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of Tributylmethylammonium chloride was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C).
From CompTox Chemistry Dashboard using OPERA (OPEn (quantitative) structure-activity Relationship Application) V1.02 model in which calculation based on PaDEL descriptors (calculate molecular descriptors and fingerprints of chemical), the bioaccumulation i.e BCF for test substance Tributylmethylammonium chloride (CAS no. 56375 -79 -2) was estimated to be 5.62 dimensionless . The predicted BCF result based on the 5 OECD principles.
In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (2018) for the test item,bioaccumulation experiment was conducted on test organism Cyprinus carpio for 28 days for evaluating the bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of test chemical. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 305 (Bioconcentration: Flow-through Fish Test) or other guideline "Bioaccumulation test of a chemical substance in fish or shellfish" provided in "the Notice on the Test Method Concerning New Chemical Substances", respectively. Cyprinus carpio was used as a test organism for the study. Test chemical was prepared in HCO-40.Test chemical nominal conc. used for the study was 0.1 mg/l and 0.01 mg/l, respectively. Analytical method involve the recovery ratio: Fish : 93.1 %, - Limit of quantitation : Test water : 1st concentration area : 3.1 microg/L, 2nd concentration area : 0.31 microg/L, Fish : 31 ng/g. Range finding study involve the LC50 (96h) 16.3 mg/L on Rice fish (Oryzias latipes). Lipid content of the test organisms at the start and end of exposure was determined to be 3.27% and 3.52%, respectively. The bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of test substance on Cyprinus carpio was determined to be in the range of 0.32-18 L/Kg and under steady state 7.3 L/Kg, respectively at a conc. of 0.1 mg/l and 3.2 - 47 L/Kg at a conc. of 0.01 mg/l, respectively.
For the test chemical,Bioaccumulation study was conducted on test organism Cyprinus carpio for 6 weeks for evaluating the bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of test chemical (authoritative database J-CHECK, 2018). The study was performed according to "OECD Guideline 305 C (Bioaccumulation: Test for the Degree of Bioconcentration in Fish)" and other guideline "Bioaccumulation test of a chemical substance in fish or shellfish" provided in "the Notice on the Test Method Concerning New Chemical Substances", respectively. Cyprinus carpio was used as a test organism for the study. Test chemical nominal conc. used for the study was 2mg/land 0.2 mg/l, respectively. Analytical method involve the recovery ratio: Fish: 92.0 %, - Limit of quantitation: Test water: 1st concentration area; 0.049 mg/L, 2nd concentration area; 0.0049 mg/L, Fish: 0.54 microg/g. Range finding study involve the LC50(48h) ≥ 1000 mg/l on Rice fish (Oryzias latipes). Lipid content of the test organism Cyprinus carpio was determined to be 4.4%. The bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of test substance on Cyprinus carpio was determined to be in the range of ≤ 0.3 L/Kg at a conc. of 2 mg/l and ≤ 2.8 L/Kg at a conc. of 0.2 mg/l, respectively.
On the basis of above results for target chemical Tributylmethylammonium chloride (from modelling databases,2017), it can be concluded that the BCF value of test substance Tributylmethylammonium chloride ranges from 3.162 –5.62 which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical Tributylmethylammonium chloride is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
