Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: An aliquot of the algal stock culture was diluted with test medium to an absorbance value of E578 nm = 0.015 of the algal suspension giving an initial algal cell concentration of 3*10exp3 cells/mL. The determination of cell concentration was performed by photometrical measurement using a calibration curve prepared by using a spectrophotometer at 578 nm. The test item was prepared as follows: Separate solutions (see below) were made for each test concentration in ultrapure water. Aliquots of these solutions were made up with ..intermediate dilution" (see section above) and algal inoculum (or diluted ..intermediate dilution") to give 50 mL of final volume.
Prior to use in the test the test item was milled in a mortar in order to get fine particles of the test item which could be better dissolved in the aqueous phase hereafter. The test item was introduced into the test solutions as follows: First, suspensions of the test item were individually prepared for each test concentration in ultrapure water by shaking on a shaking machine for 1.0 hr at approx. 130 rpm followed by 2*10 minutes of ultrasonication (screening test; main test 1*10 min) and by stirring for 1 hr on a magnetic stirrer (screening test; main test 0.5 hr). Thereafter the suspensions were transferred into 8 test vessels (screening test) or 10 test vessels, respectively (main test). By the addition of the "intermediate dilution" and the algal inoculation the final nominal concentrations were achieved.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed according to OECD TG 201 with no relevant deviations (only minor deviation with no influence on the integrity of the study), the results were so obtained via a scientifically reasonable method. The validity criteria for the study as given by the OECD Guideline 201 were met and the study is therefore considered to be valid. Hence, there is no doubt that the obtained results are reliable: The toxic effect was investigated by determination of the inhibition of the growth rate of the algae and the yield during the exposure period of 72 hours. The maximum concentration investigated was 100 mg/L (screening test), and the main test was performed using five concentrations in the range of 5 to 80 mg/L.
As a conclusion of the analytical part of this study, it can be stated that the concentrations of Isobutyl 4-chloro-3,5-diaminobenzoate remained sufficiently stable during incubation of 72hr: After 72 hr there was a recovery of 86.6 to 102.4% of the initial concentration measured at time t0. Recoveries of the nominal concentrations were in the range of 74.6 to 93.7%. Based on this, the reported effect concentrations (EC values) should refer to nominal concentrations of the test item.
The following EC-values (72h; growth rate; nominal concentrations) were determined accordingly:
LOEC 5.0 mg/L
NOEC 10.0 mg/L
EC50 = 21.9 mg/L
Based on these results, the test item does not need to be classified as acute toxic to the aquatic environment. With regard to chronic toxicity, taking into account the facts that the test item is soluble in water, i.e. above the determined EC50 value, and not readily biodegradable, the test item should be classified as aquatic chronic Cat. 3. - Executive summary:
The toxicity of Isobutyl 4-chloro-3,5-diaminobenzoate towards algae was tested according to OECD-Guideline No. 201 under GLP, in the Version dated 23-March-2006. The toxic effect was investigated by determination of the inhibition of the growth rate of the algae and the yield during the exposure period of 72 hours. The maximum concentration investigated was 100 mg/L (screening test), and the main test was performed using five concentrations in the range of 5 to 80 mg/L. The following EC-values were obtained:

As a conclusion of the analytical part of this study, it can be stated that the concentrations of Isobutyl 4-chloro-3,5-diaminobenzoate remained sufficiently stable during incubation of 72hr: After 72 hr there was a recovery of 86.6 to 102.4% of the initial concentration measured at time t0. Recoveries of the nominal concentrations were in the range of 74.6 to 93.7%.
Based on this, the reported effect concentrations (EC values) should refer to nominal concentrations of the test item.
The validity criteria for the study as given by the OECD Guideline 201 were met and the study is therefore considered to be valid. The increase of pH in the control by 1.77 units fails the requirements of the Guideline OECD 201 but is not considered to have an influence on the integrity of the results being due to good growth of the algae.
