(±)-1-Benzyl-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine, salt with benzenesulfonic acid
EC Number:
606-458-3
Cas Number:
201855-55-2
Molecular formula:
C19H20FNO C7H8O3S
IUPAC Name:
(±)-1-Benzyl-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-pyridine, salt with benzenesulfonic acid
Test material form:
solid: crystalline

Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, non-adapted
Details on inoculum:
Type of inoculum: aerobic mixed bacterial culture
Source: Municipal wastewater treatment plant, Esztergom-Kertváros
Date of arriving: 03 July 2017
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Details on study design:
Aerobic biodegradation of the test item was determined by measuring oxygen consumption in an inoculum containing aerobic mixed bacterial culture originated from a municipal wastewater treatment plant and maintained at laboratory conditions. The bacterial culture was not adapted to the test item

Results and discussion

Test performance:
This study was performed to evaluate the ready biodegradability of Rac.hydroxy-methyl-tetrahydropyridine tosilate in an aerobic aqueous medium. The study was performed according to OECD 301 guideline for testing chemicals (Ready Biodegradability), method F: Manometric Respirometry

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
According to OECD guideline the test item should be classified as readily biodegradable if the percentage biodegradation reaches 60% of theoretical oxygen demand within 28 day period in a 10-day window. Based on ready biodegradability testing results the Rac.hydroxy-methyl-tetrahydropyridine tosilate is not readily biodegradable.
