Sampling and analysis

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Sampling method: Samples for possible analysis were taken from all test concentrations and the control at t=0 and t=48h. 2.0 mL of volume was taken. In addition, the filter containing the undissolved residue was kept for possible analysis. At the end of the exposure period, the replicates were pooled at each concentration before sampling.
- Sample storage conditions before analysis: The samples were stored in a freezer. Additionally, reserve samples of 2.0 mL were taken for possible analysis.

Test solutions

Vehicle:

no

Details on test solutions:

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: Due to an expected low water solubility of the test item, saturated solutions (SS) were prepared. The preparation of test solutions started with a loading rate of 100 mg/L applying three days of magnetic stirring at room temperature to ensure maximum dissolution of the test item in test medium. This resulted in a clear and colourless dispersion that contained undissolved floating material and precipitate. The obtained mixture was filtered through a 0.45 µm membrane filter (Whatman; RC55) to remove the undissolved fraction. The filter was pre-conditioned with a small volume of test solution that was discarded. The resulting SS was used as the highest test concentration. Lower test concentrations were prepared by subsequent dilutions of the SS in test medium..
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc): All final test solutions were clear and colourless

Details on results:

- Abnormal responses: none

Results with reference substance (positive control):

- Results with reference substance valid? yes
- Mortality: no
- EC50/LC50: 48-h EC50 = 0.59 mg/L. The sensitivity of the daphnids was within the range determined with the historical data collected at Charles River Den Bosch.

Reported statistics and error estimates:

The 24-EC50 could not be calculated because the observed effects were below 50%.
After 48 hours of exposure, there was no concentration between the highest concentration (A) at
which 0% immobility occurred and the lowest concentration (B) at which 100% immobility occurred.
The 48h-EC50 was calculated as (AB)½, where A and B were set as limits of the 95% confidence interval.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The acute toxicity of T003641 to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48 hour static test according to OECD guideline 202. Based on the geometric means of the concentrations, the 48-h EC50 of JNJ54433041-AAA (T00361) was determined to be 21 mg T003641/L with a 95% confidence interval ranging from 16 to 28 mg/L. The results of the test can be considered reliable without restriction.
