Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data

- Endpoint:
- toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Justification for type of information:
- QSAR prediction from an well known and acknowledged tool. See below under 'Overall remarks, attachments' for applicability domain and 'attached background material section' for methodology.
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: REACH guidance on QSARs: Chapter R.6. QSARs and grouping of chemicals
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Since the test substance is a UVCB, the toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria were predicted for three major constituents (cinnamic acid, p-coumaryl cinnamate and conferyl cinnamate), which corresponds to more than 90% of the composition, followed by the selection lowest value for hazard assessment.

- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not applicable
- Conclusions:
- The green algae 96-h LC50 values for the major constituents were predicted to range between 0.09 to 460 mg/L and the lowest value of 0.09 mg/L has been taken forward for hazard/risk assessment.
- Executive summary:
The toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria (green algae) of the test substance was predicted using the ECOSAR v2.0 QSAR model of US EPA. Since the test substance is a UVCB, the green algae 96-h EC50 values were predicted for the three major constituents (cinnamic acid, p-coumaryl cinnamate and coniferyl cinnamate), which correspond to more than 90% of the composition. SMILES codes were used as input parameter. The predicted green algae 96-h EC50 values for the modelled constituents ranged from 0.09 to 460 mg/L (US EPA, 2019). Applicability domain evaluation was performed by checking against the maximum limits of the dependent molecular descriptors of the model (i.e., log Kow, molecular weight (MW) and water solubility). The predictions for all identified classes of the three constituents were below the maximum limits for log Kow, MW and water solubility. Therefore, the toxicity to aquatic algae predictions for the major constituents are considered to be reliable. However, the lowest EC50 value of 0.09 mg/L has been considered for hazard/risk assessment as a conservative approach.

Additional information
The toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria (green algae) of the test substance was predicted using the ECOSAR v2.0 QSAR model of US EPA. Since the test substance is a UVCB, the green algae 96-h EC50 values were predicted for the three major constituents (cinnamic acid, p-coumaryl cinnamate and coniferyl cinnamate), which correspond to more than 90% of the composition. SMILES codes were used as input parameter. The predicted green algae 96-h EC50 values for the modelled constituents ranged from 0.09 to 460 mg/L (US EPA, 2019). Applicability domain evaluation was performed by checking against the maximum limits of the dependent molecular descriptors of the model (i.e., log Kow, molecular weight (MW) and water solubility). The predictions for all identified classes of the three constituents were below the maximum limits for log Kow, MW and water solubility. Therefore, the toxicity to aquatic algae predictions for the major constituents are considered to be reliable. However, the lowest EC50 value of 0.09 mg/L has been considered for hazard/risk assessment as a conservative approach.
