Description of key information

72 hrs aquatic toxicity study was predicted to assess toxic effects of the test compound 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide (CAS no.1742 -95 -6) and the result were predicted (SSS QSAR Prediction model, 2016). The study was based on the effects of the test compound on Desmodesmus subcapitata in a static fresh water system. The predicted data suggests the effective concentration (EC50) for the test compound 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide (CAS no.1742 -95 -6) was estimated to be 222.021 mg/l on the basis of growth rate.

Additional information

Various predicted data for the target chemical 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide(CAS No. 1742-95-6) and the study of its read across substancewere reviewed to summarize the following information:

72 hrs aquatic toxicity study was predicted to assess toxic effects of the test compound 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide (CAS no.1742 -95 -6) and the result were predicted (SSS QSAR Prediction model, 2016). The study was based on the effects of the test compound on Desmodesmus subcapitata in a static fresh water system. The predicted data suggests the effective concentration (EC50) for the test compound 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide (CAS no.1742 -95 -6) was estimated to be222.021 mg/l on the basis of growth rate.

 

Based on the QSAR prediction done using the EPI Suite ECOSAR version 1.10, the 96 hours EC50 was estimated to be 321.762 mg/l on green algae for substance 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide with growth inhibition effects.

Short term toxicity to algae study was carried out for 72 hrs (J-CHECK, 2016). Based on growth rate of the test organism algae, the 72 hrs EC50 value was determined to be > 150 mg/l.

Short term toxicity toSelenastrum capricornutumstudy was carried out for 72 hrs (SIDS INITIAL ASSESSMENT PROFILE, SIAM 20, 19-21 April 2005). The test organism used for the study was Selenastrum capricornutum.The 72 hrs ExC50 value for Selenastrum capricornutum was determined to be 161 mg/l.

Based on the overall reported results for target and read across substance, it can be concluded that the substance 4-Amino-1,8-naphthalimide can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP criteria.
