Biodegradation

Biodegradation in water

Biodegradability of 4-[(4-amino-3-methylphenyl)(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-2-methylaniline hydrochloride (CAS no. 3248-91-7) is predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logKow as the primary descriptor. Test substance undergoes 22.375% degradation by BOD in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical 4-[(4-amino-3-methylphenyl)(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-2-methylaniline hydrochloride was estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.

Biodegradation in water and sediment

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound  4-[(4-amino-m-tolyl)(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-o-toluidine monohydrochloride (CAS No. 3248-91-7). If released in to the environment, 2.06 % 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 be 60 days (1440 hrs). The half-life (60 days estimated by EPI suite) indicates that the chemical is persistent in water whereas the half-life period of test chemical in sediment is estimated to be 541.6 days (1300 hrs). However, as the percentage release of test chemical into the sediment is greater than 1% (i.e, reported as 49.8 %), indicates that test chemical is persistent in sediment.

Biodegradation in soil

The half-life period of 4-[(4-amino-m-tolyl)(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-o-toluidine monohydrochloride (CAS No. 3248 -91-7) 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, 48.1 % of the chemical will partition into soil according to the Mackay fugacity model level III. The half-life period of test chemical in soil is estimated to be 120 days (2880 hrs). Based on this half-life value of test chemical, it is concluded that the chemical is persistent in the soil environment.

Bioaccumulation in aquatic /sediment.

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-[(4-amino-m-tolyl)(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-o-toluidine monohydrochloride (CAS No. 3248-91-7). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 2-amino-5-[(4-amino-3-sulfonatophenyl)(3-sulfocyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-3-methylbenzenesulfonate was estimated to be 4.796 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical  4-[(4-amino-m-tolyl)(4-imino-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ylidene)methyl]-o-toluidine monohydrochloride  is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
