Additional information
QSAR-disclaimer:
In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met. Furthermore according to Article 25 of the same Regulation testing on vertebrate animals shall be undertaken only as a last resort.
According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.
For the assessment of 2-piperazin-1-ylethanol (CAS 103 -76 -4) (Q)SAR results were used for aquatic bioaccumulation. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.
Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, further experimental studies on aquatic bioaccumulation are not provided.
Parent compound:
No studies are available for the bioaccumulation assessment of the substance. According to Regulation (EC) 1907 (2006) Annex IX, Section 9.3.2, Column 2, a study on bioaccumulation does not need to be conducted as the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation. 2 -Piperazin-1-ylethanol has a measured log Kow of -1.47 (25 °C, pH: 10.5 – 10.9; BASF AG, 1989; report no. 105629, see IUCLID Ch. 4.7). Regarding these values, accumulation of the test substance in organisms is not to be expected. Therefore, and for reasons of animal welfare, a study on bioaccumulation is not provided.
However, in order to assess the bioaccumulation potential of the substance, the BCF was calculated with several estimation models. The table below lists the applied (Q)SAR models, the estimated BCF values and basic information on the applicability domain (AD). Detailed information on the model’s results and the AD are given in the endpoint study records of IUCLID Chapter 5.3.1. The selected models comply with the OECD principles for (Q)SAR models.

Predicted metabolites from Catalogic 301C v11.15 (OASIS Catalogic v5.13.1.156):
Metabolites (n = 20) from the degradation of 2-piperazin-1-ylethanol(CAS 103 -76 -4) were predicted using the QSAR model Catalogic 301C v11.15. The metabolites are identified by their SMILES code. The table below also lists the estimated quantity of appearance from the degradation as well as the log Kow and the biodegradability (BOD prediction). The metabolites with a quantity of > 0.001 mol/mol parent are regarded to be relevant for the environmental assessment. It was attempted to identify the relevant metabolites either via the QSAR Toolbox and/or the advanced search option for substances on the ECHA website. In case a name and/or CAS number was assigned, the PBT/vPvB status according to the ECHA website was checked.
Based on the available information, it can be concluded that all metabolites have a log Kow < 3. Seven of the 20 metabolites have a predicted quantity of > 0.001 mol/mol parent and are regarded as relevant for further assessment. Less than half of these metabolites (3/7) are not readily biodegradable (< 60% after 28 days, based on BOD), but all of these 7 metabolites have a log Kow < 3; therefore, a significant bioaccumulation potential is not expected. It can be concluded that these substances are not PBT/vPvB substances.
Their toxicity (T) was not further assessed as no critical combination of potential P/vP (= not readily biodegradable) and potential B/vB (log Kow > 3) properties was observed.

Conclusion:
Based on the available information on the log Kow (log Kow = -1.47; measured; BASF AG, 1989, see IUCLID Ch. 4.7) and supported by a weight-of-evidence approach from calculated data, it can be concluded that
2-piperazin-1-ylethanol(CAS 103 -76 -4) and its metabolites are not expected to exhibit a significant bioaccumulation potential.
