Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Biodegradation in water: screening tests

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
biodegradation in water: ready biodegradability
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
1. SOFTWARE: Danish (Q)SAR Database, Division of Diet, Disease Prevention and Toxicology, National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, http://qsar.food.dtu.dk.

2. MODEL (incl. version number): Leadscope (Leadscope Predictive Data Miner, a component of Leadscope Enterprise version 3.1.1-10.), SciQSAR (SciMatics SciQSAR version 2.3.0.0.12)
3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL: SMILE Notation: Oc(c(O)ccc1)c1O

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL

- Defined endpoint: Ready Biodegradability of the substance
- Unambiguous algorithm: The model algorithm is proprietary from commercial software
- Defined domain of applicability: The definition of the applicability domain consists of two components; the definition of a structural domain
in Leadscope and the in-house further probability refinement algorithm on the output from Leadscope to reach the final applicability domain call.
The definition of the applicability domain consists of two components; the definition in SciQSAR and the inhouse further refinement algorithm on the output from SciQSAR to reach the final applicability domain call.
- Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity:
- Mechanistic interpretation:
Leadscope: The global model identifies structural features and molecular descriptors which in the model development was found to be statistically significant associated with effect. Many predictions may indicate modes of action that are obvious for persons with expert knowledge for the endpoint. A posteriori mechanistic interpretation. The identified structural features and molecular descriptors may provide basis for mechanistic interpretation.

SciQSAR: The SciQSAR software provides over 400 calculated physico–chemical, electrotopological E-state, connectivity and other molecular descriptors. The descriptors selected for the model may indicate modes of action that are obvious for persons with expert knowledge about the endpoint. A posteriori mechanistic interpretation. The descriptors selected for the model may provide a basis for mechanistic interpretation

5. DOMAIN
The substance is considered inside the applicability domain of the two considered models
