In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logKow as the primary descriptor, percentage biodegradability of test chemical Hydrogen [4-[4-(dimethylamino)-α-(2-hydroxy-3,6-disulphonato-1-naphthyl)benzylidene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]dimethylammonium, monosodium salt(CAS no. 3087-16-9) was estimated. Test substance undergoes 1.86% degradation by BOD in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical Hydrogen [4 -[4 -(dimethylamino)-α-(2 -hydroxy-3,6 -disulphonato-1 -naphthyl)benzylidene]cyclohexa-2,5 -dien-1 -ylidene]dimethylammonium, monosodium salt was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.

 

In a weight of evidence study from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2016) for read across substance sodium 3 -({[4 -([4 -(dimethylamino)phenyl]{4 -[ethyl(3 -sulfonatobenzyl)amino]phenyl}methylene)cyclohexa-2,5 -dien-1 -ylidene](ethyl)ammonio}methyl)benzenesulfonate(CAS no. 1694-09-3),biodegradation experiment was conducted for 28 days. Concentration of inoculum i.e, activated sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of read across substance was determined to be 1, 4 and 0% by BOD, TOC removal and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, sodium 3 -({[4 -([4 -(dimethylamino)phenyl]{4 -[ethyl(3 -sulfonatobenzyl)amino]phenyl}methylene)cyclohexa-2,5 -dien-1 -ylidene](ethyl)ammonio}methyl)benzenesulfonate is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

Another supporting weight of evidence study of biodegradation was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance sodium 4 -[3,6 -bis(diethylamino)-2,7 -dimethylxanthenium-9 -yl]benzene-1,3 -disulfonate (CAS no. 3520 -42 -1) (J-CHECK). The study was performed according to OECD Guideline 301 C (Ready Biodegradability: Modified MITI Test (I) and other guideline “Biodegradation test of a chemical substance using a microorganism etc.” provided in “the Notice on the Test Method Concerning New Chemical Substances", respectively. Concentration of inoculum i.e, activated sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of read across substance was determined to be 6, 0 and 0% by O2 consumption, TOC removal, Test mat. analysis and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, sodium 4 -[3,6 -bis(diethylamino)-2,7 -dimethylxanthenium-9 -yl]benzene-1,3 -disulfonate is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

In an additional studyof read acrosssubstance2'-anilino-6'-[cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]-3'-methyl-3H-spiro[2 -benzofuran-1,9'-xanthen]-3 -one (CAS no. 55250 -84 -5) from authoritative database (J-CHECK, 2016),concentration of inoculum i.e, activated sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test substance was determined to be 0% by BOD and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 2'-anilino-6'-[cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]-3'-methyl-3H-spiro[2 -benzofuran-1,9'-xanthen]-3 -one is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

On the basis of above results for target chemicalHydrogen [4-[4-(dimethylamino)-α-(2-hydroxy-3,6-disulphonato-1-naphthyl)benzylidene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]dimethylammonium, monosodium salt(from OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database J-CHECK), it can be concluded that the test substance 4Hydrogen [4-[4-(dimethylamino)-α-(2-hydroxy-3,6-disulphonato-1-naphthyl)benzylidene]cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene]dimethylammonium, monosodium saltcan be expected to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
