- Details on preparation of test solutions, spiked fish food or sediment:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The radioactive test compound was delivered in solid form and was solved in a volume of 50 mL acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid. From this solution the individual stock solutions for the study in DMF were prepared. After depletion of the stock solution in acetonitrile a further stock solution with a new aliquot of the radioactive test item of the same batch was prepared by dissolving the test compound in 10 mL acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid. The stock solutions introduced in the study were prepared by dissolving a certain amount of inactive test item and the in acetonitrile dissolved radioactive test item in DMF. A dosing system and flow-meters were used for the introduction of the substance and test water in 2000 mL mixing cells. The mixture was running continuously into the 100 L test aquaria to result in test concentrations of 0.03 and 0.3 mg/L, respectively.

- Metabolites:
- Characterisation and Identification of Metabolites in Fish and in Test Water:
In the biotransformation part of the study no metabolites were identified due to the low amount of radioactivity in fish and therefore no metabolic pathway was proposed. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- No reference substance was tested.
- Details on results:
- - Mortality of test organisms: mortality or other adverse effects/disease in both control and treated fish was less than 10 % at the end of the test.
- Behavioural abnormalities: no symptoms were recorded for the solvent control and both exposed aquaria
- Observations on body length and weight: mean body length 7.7 cm; mean body weight was 7.6 g
- Other biological observations: no mortalities or sublethal effects were recorded within the test duration
- Organ specific bioaccumulation: only low concentrations of the test item were found in the fish tissue which rapidly decreased in the depuration period.
- Mortality and/or behavioural abnormalities of control: no mortalities or sublethal effects were recorded within the test duration
The mortality or other adverse effects/disease in both control and treated fish is less than 10% at the end of the test. No mortalities or sublethal effects were recorded within the test duration.
The analysis of stock solutions of the test compound from all aquariums showed that the test item was stable in the stock solutions during the exposure phase. The HPLC chromatograms of the stock solutions before and after the exposure experiments showed a purity of greater or equal than 98 %.
In the uptake phase the measured concentrations at the lower treatment level of nominally 0.03 mg/L ranged between 26.1 and 35.3 μg/L with a mean of 32.1 μg/L. At nominally 0.3 mg/L the measured concentrations ranged from 260 to 387 μg/L with a mean value of 345 μg/L.
Details of biological and analytical results are summarized within the tables 1 -3 in section "Any other information on results incl. tables". - Reported statistics:
- The uptake rate constant (Ku) and depuration rate constant (Kd) and the kinetic biocconcentration factor were determined by using the program Origin 8.6.0 G (64-bi) Sr3b99. This is a non-linear kinetic modelling programme which provides optional parameter estimates of rate constants k1 and k2 by utilising the actual (observed) bioconcentration study data. The kinetic bioconcentration factor (BCFK) was calculated using Origin 8.6.0G (64-bit) Sr3 b99 non-linear kinetic modelling computer program.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes

The analysis of stock solutions of the test compound from all aquariums showed that the test item was stable in the stock solutions during the exposure phase. On the basis of the results of this study it was concluded that the test item was metabolized in fish. Due to the low amount of radioactivity in fish, no metabolites were identified and therefore no metabolic pathway was proposed. In the uptake phase, the measured concentrations at the lower treatment level of nominal 0.03 mg/L ranged between 26.1 and 35.3 µg/L with a mean of 32.1 µg/L. At nominally 0.3 mg/L the measured concentrations ranged from 260 to 387 µg/L with a mean value of 345 µg/L.

Additional information
One experimental study is available investigating uptake, depuration and metabolism of the test item by determining its uptake rate constant (Ku), depuration rate constant (Kd) and the bioconcentration factor (BCF), including the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the metabolites in fish and water (M-568718-01-1). Additionally, the biotransformation (metabolism) in fish was investigated by the qualitative and quantitative characterization of metabolites (≥ 10% of parent and/or ≥ 50 ppb). The study was performed according to OECD 305 and US EPA OCSPP 850.1730 under GLP conditions. The whole study was performed in a flow-through design with bluegill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus) in glass aquaria (four aquaria in total). Fish were exposed to concentrations of 0.03 and 0.3 mg test item/L in the bioconcentration part of the test (Aquarium B and C, respectively) and 0.3 mg test item /L in the biotransformation part of the test (Aquarium D). Additionally, a solvent control was performed in parallel (Aquarium A). The bioconcentration part of the test consisted of two phases: the exposure (uptake) and post-exposure (depuration) phases. At start of the uptake phase (day 0) 70 randomly selected fish were transferred into aquaria B and C (exposure to 0.03 and 0.3 mg test item /L, respectively) and into aquarium A (solvent control). Afterwards they were transferred to pure test water without the test substance for the depuration phase. The concentration of the test item in the fish was followed through both phases of the test. The duration of the uptake phase was 28 d, followed by the depuration phase of 14 d. Water samples were collected during the exposure period of 28 d for aquarium C and 14 d for aquarium D. All water samples taken after day 28 were not further analyzed due to low radioactivity. The radioactive residues were extracted from water samples by solid phase extraction (SPE) with RP18. The residues were eluted with acetonitrile and methanol/tetrahydrofurane, concentrated and analyzed by HPLC with radiodetection. The radioactive concentrations in the water ranged from 250.5 to 391.7 µg/L. The parent compound was the only component in the water samples and was identified by comparison with the HPLC chromatogram of the stock solution. For the biotransformation part of the test, parent and the metabolites were analyzed for different tissues of the fish (edible and viscera part) after 7 and 14 d of exposure. No depuration phase was needed for this part of the study. The biotransformation part started on day 0 of the bioconcentration test (begin of uptake phase), with assignment of 30 fish to aquarium D. The test of biotransformation ended on day 14, when the last remaining fish were sampled. For this purpose, edible parts and viscera of fish were sampled on day 7 and 14, and were conventionally extracted with acetonitrile/water mixtures. No further radioactive residues were extracted by exhaustive extraction methods using microwave assistance and hydrochloric acid. The radioactivity in the remaining solids after exhaustive extraction was below LOD. The total radioactive residues (TRRs), were low and amounted to 0.048 mg/kg (day 7) and 0.059 mg/kg (day 14) in the edible parts and 0.117 mg/kg (day 7) and 0.124 mg/kg (day 14) in the viscera. Due to the low radioactivity, no metabolic profile was recorded for edible parts of fish and viscera. Instead, the radioactivity in the conventional extracts of the edible parts was characterised as polar by partition against n-hexane. The main radioactivity in viscera was found in the aqueous phase and was characterised as polar, while the radioactivity in the organic phases might be assigned to parent compound or non-polar metabolites. The lipid normalized steady-state (BCFSSL) was 0.419 in the lower and 0.230 in the higher concentration. The lipid-normalized growth-corrected kinetic BCF (BCFKLG) was 0.452 in the lower and 0.255 in the higher concentration. On the basis of the results of this study it was concluded that the test item was stable in water and metabolised in fish. Due to the low amount of radioactivity in fish, no metabolites were identified and therefore no metabolic pathway was proposed.
