Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- short-term toxicity to fish
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- August 1998
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 203 (Fish, Acute Toxicity Test)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The test was carried out according to method no. TX ME 549.3 of the Experimental Toxicology, Schering AG.
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Oxgen concentrations, pH-value, and temperature were measured daily.
- Sampling method: To determine the contend and stability of the saturated solution of di-n-butyltin oxide samples for TOC analysis were taken directly after filtration of the suspension and at the end of exposure. Additionally, samples of the dilution (tap) water (control) were also taken at the same time points and analysed. - Vehicle:
- yes
- Details on test solutions:
- In order to prepare a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l, 1.0020 g of the test substance di-n-butyltin oxide were dissolved in 4 l of tap water in a 10 l flask, which was then filled up to 10 l. This solution was stirred with a magnetic stir bar for approximately 67 hours. After this stirring period, the suspension was passed through a glass-fibre filter with the help of vaccuum and thereafter filled into the aquarium (saturated solution). The filtrate was almost clear, however, major residues of the test substance stuck to the funnel and the filter paper. The measured pH-value of this solution was 8.7. Pure tap water (dilution water) was used for the preparation of the saturated solution and the control group. The water of the control group was stirred and filtered in the same way as for the test solution.

- Duration:
- 72 h
- Dose descriptor:
- LOEC
- Effect conc.:
- 3.1 mg/L
- Basis for effect:
- mortality (fish)
- Remarks:
- 3 fish showed abnormal behavior, one fish died
- Details on results:
- - Behavioural abnormalities: tail fins were contracted, fish were subdued, and abdomen was bent
- Mortality of control: no mortality - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Not applicable.
- Sublethal observations / clinical signs:
Test Solutions 3 hours 6 hours 24 hours 48 hours 72 hours 96 hours Control 0 0 0 0 0 0 Saturated Solution 0 0 0 0 1 1 - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- not specified
- Conclusions:
- No mortality was observed in the control whereas one fish was found dead after 72 hours of exposure in the saturated solution of di-n-butyltin oxide (10% mortality). The mortality and abnormal behavior of other fish observed at different time points of exposure were probably substance related. Results of the study showed that di-n-butyltin oxide is of low acute toxicity in a definitive study with dilutions of the saturated solution.
- Executive summary:
Ten Zebra fish were used for a test solution of di-n-butyltin oxide. No mortality was observed in the control. One fish was found dead after 72 hours of exposure in the saturated solution of di-n-butyltin oxide. During exposure, the fish showed signs of abnormal behaviour nearly at all time points. 10% mortality was observed, therefore di-n-butyltin oxide is of low acute toxicity to fish up to 3.10 mg/l (maximum of solubility, determined on the basis of TOC analysis).

Description of key information
The following information is available for the short-term acute toxicity to fish endpoint:
Steger-Hartmann T. & Wendt B. (1998) Acute toxicity of di-n-butyltin oxide (ZK 26385) to the Zebra fish Danio rerio. Testing laboratory: Schering AG, Experimentelle Toxikologie. Report no.: IC19. Owner company: Schering AG Report date: 1998-12-11. LOEC determined as 3.10 mg/l.
Nagase H. et al. (1991) Structure-activity relationships for organotin compounds on the red killifish Oryzias latipes. Applied Organometallic Chemistry 5: 91-97. The short term LC50 is 0.839 mg/L.
The Steger-Hartmann and Wendt study has been rated as 2 under the Klimisch scoring system and so is considered sufficient to address this endpoint. The Nagase et al study is a QSAR study but is insufficient to address the endpoint and has been rated as 4 under the Klimisch scoring system.

Additional information
Steger-Hartmann T and Wendt B (1998), the key study, was performed in compliance with GLP and according to the guideline OECD 203. As such, the study was assigned a reliability score of 2 and considered adequate for assessment. Ten Zebra fish were used in each test solution of di-n-butyltin oxide. No mortality was observed in the control. One fish was found dead after 72 hours of exposure in the saturated solution of di-n-butyltin oxide. During exposure, the fish showed signs of abnormal behaviour nearly at all time points. 10% mortality was observed, therefore di-n-butyltin oxide is of low acute toxicity to fish up to 3.10 mg/l (maximum of solubility, determined on the basis of TOC analysis).
Nagase H et al (1991) was provided as supporting information. The study was performed to the guideline OECD 203 in order to examine parameters for a QSAR of 29 organotins, however, areas of the methodology were lacking in detail and therefore it was not possible to accurately assign a reliability score. The LC50 for di-n-butyltin oxide was 0.839 mg/L, determined with red killifish Oryzias latipes. This paper studied the QSAR of 29 organotin compounds. They concluded that the physicochemical and topological parameters used as independent variables were not good descriptors for estimating the LC50 value.
