Results with reference substance (positive control):
In the most recent test with the reference item potassium dichromate performed in January 2018 (study code 88299220), the EC50 after 24 hours was determined to be 1.06 mg test item/L, indicating that the sensitivity of the daphnids was consistent with the level proposed by the OECD 202 guideline (EC50-24 h between 0.6 and 2.1 mg potassium dichromate/L).
In the reference test performed in June 2017 (study code 88298220) with the reference item potassium dichromate, the EC50 after 24 hours was determined to be 1.58 mg test item/L and the EC50 after 48 hours was determined to be 1.07 mg test item/L.
Reported statistics and error estimates:
No statistical analysis was performed.
The EC50 could not be quantified due to the absence of toxicity of the test item. The NOEC and the LOEC were determined directly from the raw data.

Validity Criteria of the Study

 

Control Immobilisation Rate:

0 %, no daphnid showed signs of disease or stress; thus the validity criterion was met.

 

Dissolved Oxygen Concentration:

³ 8.3 mg O2/L in the control and test vessels at the end of the test; thus validity criterion was met.

 

 

 

 

Biological Results

 

 

Signs of Intoxication after 48 Hours:


After 48 hours of exposure no immobilisation of the test animals was observed in the control and in the only test concentration of the filtrate of 100 mg test item/L (see Table 1).

The EC50, EC20and EC10could not be calculated due to the low effects of the test item. Therefore the 72-hourEC50, EC20and EC10was determined to be higher than the limit of water solubility of the test item, represented by the filtrate of nominal 100 mg test item/L.

TheNOECwas determined to be at least the filtrate of 100 mg test item/L. The LOEC wasestimated to behigherthan the filtrate of 100 mg test item/L.

yes
Conclusions:
In an acute toxicity test conducted as Limit test according to the OECD guideline 202 Daphnia magna were exposed to 100 mg/L (nominal) 5′-O-[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)phenylmethyl]-2′-deoxythymidine, 3′-[2-cyanoethyl N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)phosphoramidite]. As the test substance is hardly soluble, less than the limit of detection was dissolved in the medium (LOD = 0.01 mg/L), although the test solution was stirred for 48 hours. No effect was observed.
Executive summary:

The 48-hr-acute toxicity of 5′-O-[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)phenylmethyl]-2′-deoxythymidine, 3′-[2-cyanoethyl N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)phosphoramidite] to Daphnia magna was studied under semi-static conditions. Test species were exposed to control and test chemical at nominal concentration of 100 mg a.i./L. for 48 hr. As the test substance is hardly soluble, less than the limit of detection was dissolved in the medium (LOD = 0.01 mg/L), although the test solution was stirred for 48 hours. Mortality/immobilisation and sublethal effects were observed daily.  No effect were observed up to the limit of the test item solubility.

 

Based on the results of this study, 5′-O-[bis(4-methoxyphenyl)phenylmethyl]-2′-deoxythymidine, 3′-[2-cyanoethyl N,N-bis(1-methylethyl)phosphoramidite] would be classified as not toxic to D. magna in accordance with the classification system of the EU.

 

This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirements for an acute toxicity study with freshwater invertebrates.
