Reference to type of model used and description of results:
ECOSAR v1.11 – Green Algae 96h EC50 ; Esters Class, Neutral Organics Class (baseline toxicity), 19 June 2012
2. Description of results and assessment of reliability of the prediction:
Ecosar Class:
Esters: Green Algae 96-hr EC50: 4.573 mg/l
Neutral Organic SAR (baseline toxicity): Green Algae 96-hr EC50: 13.609 mg/l
Assessment of the substance within the applicability domain as documented within the corresponding QMRF named ‘QMRF Title: ECOSAR v1.11 Green Algae 96h EC50’ version 1.0; 13 August 2014 – section 5; indicates the substance:
(i) Falls within the Log Kow domain of < 5 (general domain for the model; and Esters class specific cut off); (ii) Molecular weight is < 1000 g/mol and; (iii) Effect levels are predicted below the water solubility.
The substance does not possess functional groups outside those included within the esters, neutral organics or mono-epoxides classes and training sets. The assigned chemical class (Esters) is appropriate to the substance. The ECOSAR QSAR model as detailed is not known to function by specific modes of action associated with the chemical class(es) assigned. Full references to training set data are presented within ECOSAR v1.1 Help System; if not proprietary (in such cases the chemical identification is listed as CBI, but the relevant descriptor data are provided). A summary of this information is presented by the applicant.
The substances in the training set are considered analogues to the target substance since they possess an ester group and log Kow < 5 and MW < 1000 g/mol. The substance and the structural analogues share a common functional group and physic-chemical domains versus a neutral organics class (baseline toxicity). The ECOSAR class is based on similar relationships between toxicity and the various types of pharmacologic properties.
3. Uncertainty of the prediction and mechanistic domain:
The coefficients of determination for each chemical class training set is published as presented below:
Neutral Organics: Coefficient of determination (r2) = 0.6782
Esters: Coefficient of determination (r2) = 0.8581
Data for the Esters Class training set are available via external validation (see attached QMRF prepared by the applicant for full citations of the relevant validations).
Consistency of ECOSAR data compared to measured toxicity showed 60-64 % of green algae predictions (all chemical classes assessed) within a tolerance factor of 10, which is comparable to that seen in Hulzebos & Posthumus (2003).
Uncertainty in the prediction relates to the limited external validation on the Esters class. Model predictivity could be improved by the assignment of additional chemical categories and expansion of sub-structure rules, in addition further substances addition to the training set and rules for stereochemical effects within the model would improve predictivity.
The ECOSAR QSAR model as detailed is not known to function by specific modes of action associated with the chemical class(es) assigned. ECOSAR classes are grouped based on similar relationships between toxicity and the various types of pharmacologic properties. The model does not apply a mechanistic approach to assessment of toxicity other than assignment of chemical classes (to identify potential toxicity in excess of baseline narcosis) using an expert decision tree. The selected classes appear appropriate to the substance based on expert assessment.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The results are adequate for the regulatory purpose.
- Executive summary:
ECOSAR v1.11 – Green Algae 96h EC50 ; Esters Class, Neutral Organics Class (baseline toxicity), 19 June 2012
Ecosar Class:
Esters: Green Algae 96-hr EC50: 4.573 mg/l
Neutral Organic SAR (baseline toxicity): Green Algae 96-hr EC50: 13.609 mg/l
The prediction is adequate for the Classification and Labelling or risk assessment of the substance as indicated in REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006: Annex XI Section 1.3. The predictions do not indicate extreme or acute toxicities relevant for classification and labelling. The assessment indicates that the prediction is suitable for the regulatory conclusion in accordance with the tonnage driven information requirements.
