Additional information

In the experimental study published by Guilhermino, 2000 the EC50 of the read across substance quinine sulphate/quinidine sulfate was determined. The EC50 of quinine sulfate for Daphnia magna is 44.8 mg/L for 24 h exposure duration. According to this, the EC50 of quinine is 34.4 mg/L. In the study published by Morrow, 2001 the EC50 of the read across substance quinine hydrochloride for Daphnia pulex was determined with a petri-dish bioassay method and a multiwell bioassay method. The EC50 (24 h) of quinine hydrochloride is 28.3 mg/l. According to this, the EC50 of quinine is 25.4 mg/L.
