Description of key information

Biodegradation in water:

Biodegradability of test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium (CAS no. 94158-82-4) is predicted using OECD QSAR tool box v.3.3 using log Kow as primary descriptor. The test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium undergoes 13.60 % biodegradation by considering BOD as parameter and microorganisms as inoculum in 28 days. Based on percent biodegradability it is concluded that test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium is not readily biodegradable.

Biodegradation in water and sediments:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium (CAS No. 94158-82-4). If released in to the environment, 36.9 % of the chemical will partition into water according to the Mackay fugacity model level III and the half-life period of test chemical in water is estimated to be180 days (4320 hrs). The half-life (180 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is persistent in water and the exposure risk to aquatic animals is high whereas the half-life period of test chemical2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodiumin sediment is estimated to be 1620.833 days (38900 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical is less than 1 % (i.e.,reported as 0.0974) indicates that the test chemical is not persistent in sediments.

Biodegradation in Soil:

The half-life period of test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium (CAS No. 94158-82-4) in soil was estimated using Level III Fugacity Model by EPI Suite version 4.1 estimation database (EPI suite, 2017). If released into the environment, 63% of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium in soil is estimated to be 360 days (8640 hrs). Based on this half-life value of test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium, it is concluded that the chemical is persistent in the soil environment and the exposure risk to soil dwelling animals is high.

Biodegradation in water:

Predicted data for target compound 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium (CAS no. 94158-82-4) and supporting weight of evidence studies for its closest read across chemicals with log Kow as a primary descriptor were reviewed for the biodegradation endpoint which are summarized as below.

Biodegradability of test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium (CAS no. 94158-82-4) is predicted using OECD QSAR tool box v.3.3 using log Kow as primary descriptor. The test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium undergoes 13.60 % biodegrdation by considering BOD as parameter and microorganisms as inoculum in 28 days. Based on percent biodegradability it is concluded that test chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium is not readily biodegradable.

Next prediction done by using Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2017) to estimate the biodegradation potential of the test compound2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium(CAS no. 94158-82-4) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms. The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodiumis expected to be not readily biodegradable.

In a supporting weight of evidence study done from authoritative database J Check, 2017 for read across chemical sodium 4-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonate (CAS no. 6034-54-4) biodegradation experiment was carried out by taking activated sludge as inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration. Biodegradation was analysed by using BOD, TOC and HPLC parameters. The initial concentration of read across chemical was 100 mg/L.The read across chemical sodium 4-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonate showed 2% biodegradation by BOD parameter and 0% biodegradation by both TOC and HPLC parameter in 14 days. Based on percent biodegradation it is concluded that read across chemical sodium 4-acetamidobenzene-1-sulfonate is not readily biodegradable.

In another supporting weight of evidence study done from same source as mentioned above (J check, 2017) for read across chemical N-Butyl-benzenesulfonamide (CAS no. 3622-84 -2) biodegradation experiment was performed by taking sludge as inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration. Biodegradation was analysed by using BOD, TOC and HPLC parameters. The initial concentration of read across chemical was 100 mg/L.The read across chemical N-Butyl-benzenesulfonamide showed 1% biodegradation by TOC parameter and 0.0% degradation by other two parameters i.e., BOD and HPLC in 28 days. Based on percent biodegradability it is concluded that read across chemical N-Butyl-benzenesulfonamide is not readily biodegradable.

On the basis of above results for target chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium (CAS no. 94158-82-4) from ( EPI suite 2017 and OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 2017) and for its read across substances (from authoritative database) the target chemical 2-amino-4-acetamido-5-[(E)-2-(4-{[2-(sulfooxy)ethane]sulfonyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]benzoic acid sodium can be expected to be not readily biodegradable.
