Description of key information
Using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2017) with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic algae and cyanobacteria was predicted for target substance2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochloride(CAS no. 2491 -06 -7). EC50 value was estimated to be 182 mg/l for Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 h duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochlorideis considered to be non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:

Additional information
Predicted data for the target chemical2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochloride (CAS No. 2491-06-7) and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across substances with logKow as the primary descriptorwere reviewed for toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria endpoint to summarize the following information:
Short term toxicity on aquatic algae and cyanobacteria of target chemical2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochloride (CAS No. 2491-06-7) is predicted using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances (2017).On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system, the effect concentration EC50 value for the substance is estimated to be 182 mg/l for Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata for 72 duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochlorideis considered to be non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
In a weight of evidencestudy from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2017) of the read across chemical 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid (CAS no. 75-98-9), short term toxicity to green algae study was carried out for 72 hrs. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test). The study was based on the effects of the read across compound 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid on green algae in a static fresh water system. Based on effect on growth rate of the test organism green algae, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 66 and 47 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid can be considered as toxic to aquatic organisms. Since the chemical is readily biodegradable in nature, chemical 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
Another short term toxicity to Selenastrum capricornutum (algae) study was carried out for 96 hrs (HSDB, 2017). The study was based on the effects of the read across compound 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid (CAS no. 75-98-9) on Selenastrum capricornutum in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 24 ± 2⁰C and pH of 7.4, respectively. Based on the effect on biomass of the test organism Selenastrum capricornutum, the 96 hr EC50 value was determined to be 75 mg/l. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 2,2 -dimethyl propionic acid can be considered as toxic to aquatic organisms. Since the chemical is readily biodegradable in nature, chemical 2,2 -dimethyl propionic acid considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
For the same read across chemical 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid (CAS no. 75-98-9) from secondary source (High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program; 2017),short term toxicity to Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata (green algae) study was carried out for 72 hrs. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test).The study was based on the effects of the read across compound 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid on Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 23.4⁰C and pH of 7.1 – 7.6, respectively under continuous light. Test chemical concentrations used for the study were 62, 125, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/l (nominal concentrations) and 54.8, 128, 246, 488 and 979 mg/l (mean measured concentrations), respectively. The test material was not detected in the control. Individual test treatment solutions were prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAFs). Test material was added to algal media in 2.0 L aspirator bottles. The vessels were mixed on magnetic stir plates with teflon coated stir bars for 23 hrs at room temperature. After mixing the solutions were allowed to settle for one hour and the aqueous portion of the WAF was removed from the bottom of the mixing vessel via the port and used for testing. Erlenmeyer flask with approximately 60 ml of treatment solution was inoculated with algae. Test vessels were sealed with foam stoppers. Four replicates were prepared for each treatment level. The initial algal density was 1.0 × 104cells/ml. All test replicates were placed on a shaker table at 100 oscillations per minute during the study. Samples were taken daily for cell counts. Biomass was calculated as the area under the growth curve. Test treatments were analyzed by GC-FID on Day 0 and at termination. Statistical analysis involves the use of Proc regression procedure of SAS, Anova procedure of SAS for NOEC. Based on effect on growth rate of the test organism Pseudokirchnerella subcapitata, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 979 and 246 mg/l, respectively and on the basis of biomass, the 72 hr EC50 and NOEC value was determined to be 878 and 246 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 2,2-dimethyl propionic acid can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
Thus, based on the overall reported results for target chemical2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochloride(OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3, 2017) and for its read across substance (fromauthoritative database J-CHECK, HSDB and secondary source),it can be concluded that the test substance2-(dimethylamino)acetic acid hydrochloridecan be considered as non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be notclassified as per the CLP classification criteria.
