QSAR calculations were performed using six representative individual constituents of the UVCB substance. All six molecules are monoesters of Dodecanoic acid and oxybis[propanediol]. Structural differences are related to the esterification position on the poly-functional alcohol, and on the isomerization of the alcohol’s structure. - Type:

Description of key information
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Experimental bioaccumulation data are not available for Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2). The substance is a UVCB substance whose individual constituents have a log Kow range of <0.3 to >6.5. This range indicates a potential for bioaccumulation for some individual constituents. However, the information gathered on environmental behaviour and metabolism in combination with QSAR results provide enough evidence (in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI General rules for adaptation of the standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X, 1.2), to state that the substance is likely to show negligible bioaccumulation potential.
Environmental behaviour
Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2) is readily biodegradable (84% degradation after 28 d, O2 consumption). The substance is therefore assumed to degrade rapidly and ultimately in most environments, including biological sewage treatment plants (STP). Thus, only limited amounts will get in contact with activated sludge microorganisms in STPs and the concentration of the substance in effluents of conventional STPs is presumably marginal.
In order to support the prediction that Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2) has negligible bioaccumulative potential, QSAR calculations were performed using six representative individual constituents of the UVCB substance. All six molecules are monoesters of Dodecanoic acid and oxybis[propanediol]. Structural differences are related to the esterification position on the poly-functional alcohol, and on the isomerization of the alcohol’s structure.
A
log BCF range of 1.11 - 2.04, corresponding to a BCF range of 12.7 –
110, was calculated using BCFBAF Program (v3.01), regression-based
estimate. A log BCF range of 0.610 – 1.100, corresponding to a BCF range
of 4.07 – 12.58, was calculated using BCFBAF Program (v3.01),
Arnot-Gobas upper trophic model. In addition a log BCF range of 1.22 –
1.92, corresponding to a BCF range of 16 – 83, was calculated using VEGA
(v1.1.3), Meylan Model v1.0.3. All calculated BCF values are below the
critical classification level of BCF = 500; the bioaccumulation
potential of Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS
No. 96499-68-2) is therefore considered negligible.
The constituents of the UVCB substance all fit in the applicability
domain of the selected QSAR models (except for VEGA). Thus, the results
are valid and can be used for the assessment of bioaccumulation
potential of the substance.
Metabolism/Bioaccumulation
After uptake and absorption, Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2) is expected to be enzymatically hydrolysed by carboxylesterases yielding the corresponding alcohol and fatty acids. The metabolism of the hydrolysis products alcohol (i.e. glycerol) and fatty acids is well established and not of concern in terms of bioaccumulation. Glycerides are the predominant lipid class in the diet of both marine and freshwater fish. Once ingested, they will be hydrolysed into fatty acids and glycerol by a specific group of carboxylesterase (CaE) enzymes (lipases) as reported in different fish species (Tocher, 2003). Parts of the free fatty acids will be re-esterified once more with glycerol and partial acyl glycerols to form triglycerides, which will be stored as long-term energy reserves. Glycerol is naturally present in animal and vegetable fats, rarely found in free state (mostly combined with fatty acids forming triglycerides) (ed. Knothe, van Gerpen and Krahl, 2005). If freely available in aquatic organisms, it will not bioaccumulate in view of its low log Kow value of -1.76 (OECD SIDS, 2002). Especially in periods in which the energy demand is high (reproduction, migration, etc.), glycerides are mobilized from the storage sites as source of fatty acids. Fatty acid catabolism is the most important energy source in many species of fish, resulting in the release of acetyl CoA and NADH (through β-oxidation) and eventually, via the tricarboxylic cycle, the production of metabolic energy in the form of ATP. This fatty acid-catabolism pathway is the predominant source of energy related to growth, reproduction and development from egg to adult fish. A similar metabolic pathway is observed in mammals (see section 7.1.1 Basic toxicokinetics). In conclusion, no potential for bioaccumulation is to be expected for Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2).
Conclusion
Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2) is a UVCB substance whose individual constituents have a log Kow range of <0.3 to >6.5 which is indicative of bioaccumulative potential. However, due to its readily biodegradable nature, extensive degradation of the substance in conventional STPs will take place and only low concentrations are expected to be released (if at all) into the environment. Once present in the aquatic compartment, further biodegradation will occur. If the substance is taken up by organisms, extensive and fast biotransformation of the substance by carboxylesterases into fatty acids and glycerol is expected. BCF/BAF values estimated by QSAR (BCFBAF v3.01) also support the assumption that the substance has low bioaccumulation potential (BCF values all well below 500 L/kg).
Taking all these information into account, it can be concluded that bioaccumulation of Dodecanoic acid, monoester with oxybis[propanediol] (CAS No. 96499-68-2) acid is unlikely to occur.
