Ready Biodegradability Prediction: (YES or NO)
----------------------------------------------
Criteria for the YES or NO prediction: If the Biowin3 (ultimate survey
model) result is "weeks" or faster (i.e. "days", "days to weeks", or
"weeks" AND the Biowin5 (MITI linear model) probability is >= 0.5, then
the prediction is YES (readily biodegradable). If this condition is not
satisfied, the prediction is NO (not readily biodegradable). This method
is based on application of Bayesian analysis to ready biodegradation data
(see Help). Biowin5 and 6 also predict ready biodegradability, but for
degradation in the OECD301C test only; using data from the Chemicals
Evaluation and Research Institute Japan (CERIJ) database.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
In conclusion, the compound is not ready biodegradable.
Executive summary:

For this endpoint sufficient information was obtained from a QSAR analysis showing that there is no evidence for ready biodegradation. This finding is strongly supported by experimental data obtained for structurally highly related compounds from the same chemical class (reactive mesogens) studied in GLP compliant OECD 301F studies. In these experiments no biodegradation was observed.

Overall it is fully justified to conclude that the compound is not ready biodegradable.
