The data matrix is included in the reporting format attached.

The results from the read-across approach are expressed on the basis of the amount of MPKO generated from the hydrolysis reaction of OS1600 and their molecular weights. The amount of MPKO was estimated using the assumption that 1 mole of the target substance OS1600 produces 3 moles of MPKO. No other adaptions are necessary.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
Based on the read-across approach from the analogue substance MPKO, after 72 hours of exposure of green algae to test item, the EyC50 (biomass) for OS1600 was determined to be 56 mg/L and the ErC50 (growth rate) was 100 mg/L. The NOEC for both biomass and growth rate was 36 mg/L.
Executive summary:

An algae growth inhibition test was performed on the analogue MPKO in accordance with OECD Guideline 201. 10E+04 cell density of green algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) were exposed to 0 (control), 5.6, 10, 18, 32, 56 and 100 mg/L of test item (three replicates at test concentrations and six replicates untreated controls) for 72 hours under static conditions. All the validity criteria were fulfilled. In conclusion, the EyC50 (biomass) for MPKO was 50 mg/L and the ErC50 (growth rate) was 88 mg/L The NOEC for both biomass and growth rate was 32 mg/L. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the EyC50 (biomass) for OS1600 was determined to be 56 mg/L and the ErC50 (growth rate) was 100 mg/L. The NOEC for both biomass and growth rate was determined to be 36 mg/L.

Description of key information

Based on the read-across approach from the analogue substance MPKO, the 72h-EyC50 (biomass) of OS1600 in green algae was determined to be 56 mg/L and the 72h-ErC50 (growth rate) was 100 mg/L. The 72h-NOEC for both biomass and growth rate was determined to be 36 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
100 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
36 mg/L

Additional information

Key study: Read-across approach from experimental data on the analogue substance MPKO: A study on the freshwater algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) was performed according to the OECD Guideline 201 (GLP study). Based on the read-across approach from the experimental data on the analogue substance MPKO, the hydrolysis product of OS1600 (72h-EyC50 (biomass) = 50 mg/L; 72h-ErC50 (growth rate) = 88 mg/L; 72h-NOEC (biomass and growth rate) = 32 mg/L), it was determined that the EyC50 (biomass) for OS1600 was 56 mg/L and the ErC50 (growth rate) was 100 mg/L. The NOEC for both biomass and growth rate was determined to be 36 mg/L.
