Description of key information
Using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for target substance Methyl Isonicotinate (CAS no. 2459 -09 -8). EC50 value was estimated to be 334.57 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 h duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance Methyl Isonicotinate is considered to be non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

Additional information
Various predicted data for the target chemical Methyl Isonicotinate (CAS No. 2459-09-8) and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its read across substanceswere reviewed to summarize the following information:
Short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrate of target chemicalMethyl Isonicotinate(CAS No. 2459-09-8) 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 334.57 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hr duration.
In another prediction done using the EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10 (EPI Suite, 2017), the short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrates was predicted for test substance Methyl Isonicotinate (CAS no. 2459 -09 -8). On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system, the lethal concentration LC50 value for the substance is estimated to be 939.938 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 duration.
Additional data was predicted using the ACD labs predicted median Lethal Concentration (LC50) of daphnia magna using v5.0.0.184. The value is supported by estimated Reliability Index (RI). Based on this, the LC50 value for test item Methyl Isonicotinate (CAS no. 2459 -09 -8) was predicted to be 150 mg/l for Daphnia magna.
In a supporting weight of evidence study from study report (ABITEC Report no. 380/17, study no. 93-60-7/SSS/2018, Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, 2017) of the read across chemical 3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid methyl ester (CAS no. 93-60-7),experimental study for inhibition of the mobility of daphnids was carried out with the read across chemical 3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid methyl ester according to OECD Guideline 202. The animals used for the test shall be less than 24 h old and should not be of first brood progeny. The stock solution (200 mg/L) was prepared by dissolving white powder in reconstituted water. Test solutions of required concentration were prepared by mixing the stock solution of the test sample with reconstituted test water. The test substance was tested at the concentration of 50, 70, 100, 140 and 200 mg/L, respectively. The test was performed under static conditions in fresh water system at 20±1°C temperature. Effects on immobilisation were observed for 48 hours. EC50 was calculated using non linear regression by the software Prism 4.0. The median effective concentration (EC50) for the test substance 3-Pyridinecarboxylic acid methyl ester (CAS no. 93-60-7) in Daphnia magna was determined to be 189.2 mg/L (95% CL: 140.4-254.9 mg/l) for immobilisation effects.
For the read across chemical Nicotinamide (CAS no. 98-92-0) from authoritative database (HSDB, 2016) and secondary source (IUCLID dataset, 2000), short term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates was performed in Daphnia magna for 24 hrs at > 1000 mg/l concentration based on immobilization. After test, the EC50 was determined to be >1000 mg/l for Nicotinamide (98 -92 -0) for daphnia magna for 24 hrs.
Thus, based on the overall reported results for target chemicalMethyl Isonicotinate(OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3, EPI suite and ACD lab database, 2017) and for its read across substance (from study report,authoritative database HSDB andsecondary source),it can be concluded that the test substanceMethyl Isonicotinatecan be considered as non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be notclassified as per the CLP classification criteria.
