Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

After 96 hours exposure to 4.27, 9.39, 20.7, 45.5 and 100 mg (2S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid/L treatment rates, observed mortality was 0% in all test concentrations.Therefore, the 96-hour LC50 is >100 mg (2S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid/L. Sublethal effects were observed in the 45.5 and 100 mg (2S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid/L treatment rates. The NOEC was 100 mg (2S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid/L and LOEC was >100 mg (2S)-5-oxopyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid/L.


In a 48-hour study the acute toxicity of the aquatic invertebrateDaphnia magnawas studied. The 48-hour EC50 (immobility) was determined to be >94.1 mg/L under the conditions of the test.


In a 72 -hour toxicity study the green alga, Pseudokirchenriella subcapitata, was exposed to a range of test concentrations under static conditions in accordance with the OECD test guideline 201 and in compliance with GLP. The 72 hour ErC50 (growth rate) was determined as >4.41 mg/L and the EyC50 (biomass) was determined to be 2.81 mg/L based on geometric mean measured test concentrations


According to the Column 2 of the Annex VIII of the Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, toxicity to micro-organisms in activated sludge does not need to be conducted if the substance is readily biodegradable and the applied test concentrations are in the range of concentration that can be expected in the influent of a STP. The readily biodegradability test has been conducted with concentrations of 100 mg/L showing readily biodegradability behaviour (OECD 301 Ready Biodegradability; Laboratoire deChimie-Ecotoxicologie 402/16/1215F/a-e; Jequel, M; 2017). Therefore toxicity to micro-organisms in activated sludge test is not required.
