Executive summary:

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 (4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride (CAS no. 632 -99 -5). EC50 value was estimated to be 223 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 h duration. Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance (4 -(4 -aminophenyl)(4 -iminocyclo hexa-2,5 -dienylidene)methyl)-2 -methylaniline hydrochloride 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 (4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride (CAS No. 632-99-5) and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across substances with logKow as the primary descriptorwere reviewed to summarize the following information:

 

Short term toxicity on aquatic invertebrate of target chemical(4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride (CAS No. 632-99-5) 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 233 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hr duration.Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance (4 -(4 -aminophenyl)(4 -iminocyclo hexa-2,5 -dienylidene)methyl)-2 -methylaniline hydrochloride is considered to be non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

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(4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride (CAS No. 632-99-5).On the basis of effects observed in a static freshwater system, the effect concentration EC50 value for the substance is estimated to be 1186.437 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 h duration.Based on this value it can be concluded that the substance (4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride is considered to be not toxic to aquatic environment and can be not classified as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

 

In a weight of evidencestudy from authoritative database (ECOTOX database, 2017) of the read across chemical 4-[(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-phenylmethylidene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]-dimethylazanium chloride (CAS no. 569-64-2),Short term toxicity to Litopenaeus schmitti (Southern white shrimp) study was carried out for 48 hrs. The study was based on the effects of the read across compound 4 -[(4 -dimethylamino phenyl)-phenylmethylidene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]-dimethylazanium chloride on Litopenaeus schmitti in a static salt water system. Litopenaeus schmitti (Southern white shrimp) was used as a test organism. Based on effect on mortality of the test organism Litopenaeus schmitti, the 48 hr LC50 value was determined to be 77170 mg/l (LC50 value ranges from 60470 to 109120 mg/l), respectively. Thus, based on the LC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 4 -[(4 -dimethylaminophenyl)-phenylmethyli dene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]-dimethylazanium chloride can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organisms and thus can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Another short term toxicity to Daphnia magna (Water flea) studyof the read across chemical 1-Hexene (CAS no. 592-41-6)was carried out for 48 hrs(ECOTOX database, 2017). The study was based on the effects of the read across compound 1-Hexene on Daphnia magna in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 20⁰C, hardness of water was approx. 210 mg/l CaCO3, dissolved oxygen ≥ 70%and pH range of 8.0 to 8.2, respectively. Daphnia magna (Water flea) of < 24 h old was used as a test organism. Study was performed using synthetic medium in glass stopped conical flask. Based on effect on intoxication of the test organism Daphnia magna, the 48 hr EC50 value was determined to be 30 mg/l. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 1-Hexenecan be considered as toxic to aquatic organisms. Since the test chemical 1-Hexene is readily biodegradable in nature, chemical 1-Hexene can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organism and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

For the same read across chemical 1-Hexene(CAS no. 592-41-6) from authoritative database (ECOTOX database, 2017), short term toxicity to Daphnia magna (Water flea) study was carried out for 48 hrs. The study was based on the effects of the test compound1-Hexene(CAS no. 592-41-6) on Daphnia magna in a static fresh water system at a temperature of 20⁰C, hardness of water was approx. 210 mg/l CaCO3, dissolved oxygen ≥ 70% and pH range of 8.0 to 8.2, respectively. Daphnia magna (Water flea) of< 24 h old was used as a test organism. Study was performed using synthetic medium in glass beaker covered with a watch glass. Based on effect on intoxication of the test organism Daphnia magna, the 48 hr EC50 value was determined to be 60 mg/l (EC50 value ranges from > 32 to < 100 mg/l, respectively).Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 1-Hexene can be considered as toxic to aquatic organisms. Since the test chemical 1-Hexene is readily biodegradable in nature, chemical 1-Hexene can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organism and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from secondary source (OECD SIDS, 2001), short term toxicity to Daphnia magna (Water flea) study was carried out for 48 hrs. The study was based on the effects of the read compound 1-Hexene (CAS no. 592-41-6) on Daphnia magna in a static fresh water system. The 24 and 48 hrs EC50 value was determined to be 540 and 230 mg/l, respectively. Thus, based on the EC50 value, it can be concluded that the substance 1-Hexene can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic organism and thus cannot be classified as hazardous as per the CLP classification criteria.

 

Thus, based on the overall reported results for target chemical(4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride(OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 and EPI suite, 2017) and for its read across substance (fromauthoritative database ECOTOX and secondary source OECD SIDS),it can be concluded that the test substance (4-(4-aminophenyl)(4-iminocyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)methyl)-2-methylaniline hydrochloride can be considered as non-toxic to aquatic environment and can be considered to be not classified as per the CLP classification criteria.
