Description of key information
Bioaccumulation: 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-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile (CAS No. 56765 -79 -8). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
Additional information
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment
Various predicted data for the target compound 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile (CAS No. 56765-79-8) and supporting weight of evidence study for its read across substance were reviewed for the bioaccumulation end point which are summarized as below:
In aprediction done using theBCFBAF Program(v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile (CAS No. 56765 -79 -8). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated to be 3.162 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
In an another prediction done by using Bio-concentration Factor (v12.1.0.50374) moduleACD (Advanced Chemistry Development)/I-Lab predictive module, 2017), theBCF of the test substance 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated to be 2.59, 4.34, 4.66, 4.69 and 4.70 at pH range 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4-14, respectively. This value indicates that the test substance 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was considered to be non-accumulative in aquatic organisms.
Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated using Chemspider database(ChemSpider, 2017). The bioconcentration factor of test substance 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated to be 3.79 at both pH 5.5 and 7.4, respectively, which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
Another predicted data was estimated usingSciFinder database (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017) was used for predicting the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile (CAS No. 56765 -79 -8). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated to be 48.4, 51.9 and 52.3 at pH range 1, 2 and 3-10, respectively (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
From CompTox Chemistry Dashboard using OPERA (OPEn (quantitative) structure-activity Relationship Application) V1.02 model in which calculation based on PaDEL descriptors (calculate molecular descriptors and fingerprints of chemical), the bioaccumulation i.e BCF for test substance 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile was estimated to be 4.31 dimensionless. The predicted BCF result based on the 5 OECD principles. Thus based on the result it is concluded that the test substance 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is non-bioaccumulative in nature.
In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (J-CHECK & HSDB, 2017 and EnviChem, 2014) for the read across chemical 1,2-Dicyanobenzene (CAS no. 91-15-6),bioaccumulation experiment was conducted on test organism Cyprinus carpio for 6 weeks for evaluating the bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of 1,2-Dicyanobenzene.The study was performed according to other guideline "Bioaccumulation test of a chemical substance in fish or shellfish" provided in "the Notice on the Test Method Concerning New Chemical Substances", respectively. Cyprinus carpio was used as a test organism for the study. Test chemical nominal conc. used for the study were 0.2mg/land 0.02 mg/l, respectively. Test chemical solution was prepared in acetone. Analytical method involve therecovery ratio: Test water : 1st concentration area : 97.0 %, 2nd concentration area : 93.5 %, Fish : 83.9 %, - Limit of detection: Fish : 0.10 ppm. Range finding study involve the TLm (48 hr) 29 mg/l (w/v) on Rice fish (Oryzias latipes). Lipid content of the test organism Cyprinus carpio was determined to be 6.9%. The bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of substance 1,2-Dicyanobenzene on Cyprinus carpio was determined to be in the range of 0.8-1.3 L/Kg at a conc. of 0.2 mg/l and ≤ 5.5 L/Kg at a conc. of 0.02 mg/l, respectively, which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 1,2 -Dicyanobenzene is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
For the read across chemical 3,4-dimethylaniline (CAS no. 95-64-7),bioaccumulation study was conducted on test organism Cyprinus carpio for 6 weeks for evaluating the bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of 3,4-dimethylaniline (J-CHECK & HSDB, 2017 and EnviChem, 2014).The study was performed according to other guideline "Bioaccumulation test of a chemical substance in fish or shellfish" provided in "the Notice on the Test Method Concerning New Chemical Substances", respectively. Cyprinus carpio was used as a test organism for the study. Test chemical nominal conc. used for the study were 1 mg/l and 0.1 mg/l, respectively. Range finding study involve the TLm (48 hr) 121 mg/l (w/v) on Rice fish (Oryzias latipes).The bioconcentration factor (BCF value) of substance 3,4-dimethylaniline on Cyprinus carpio was determined to be in the range of 1.9-3.3 L/Kg at a conc. of 1 mg/l and ≤ 10 L/Kg at a conc. of 0.1 mg/l, respectively, which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 3,4-dimethylaniline is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
On the basis of above results for target chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile(from EPI suite, ACD labs,ChemSpider, SciFinder database and CompTox Chemistry Dashboard, 2017) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database J-CHECK & HSDB and EnviChem), it can be concluded that the BCF value of test substance 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile ranges from 1.77 – 4.70 which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
