Description of key information

Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2018) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol (CAS No. 98 -52 -2).

The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was estimated to be 50.79 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-tert-butylcyclohexanol is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Additional information

Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

Various predicted data for the target compound 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol (CAS No. 98-52-2) and supporting weight of evidence study for its structurally similar 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, 2018) was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol (CAS No. 98 -52 -2). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was estimated to be 50.79 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-tert-butylcyclohexanol is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

 

Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) of test chemical 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was estimated using Chemspider database(ChemSpider, 2017). The bioconcentration factor of test substance 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was estimated to be 110.16 at pH both 5.5 and 7.4, respectively, which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol 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-tert-butylcyclohexanol (CAS No. 98 -52 -2). The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol was estimated to be 132 at pH range 1-10, respectively (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol 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-tert-butylcyclohexanol was estimated to be 38.5 dimensionless. The predicted BCF result based on the 5 OECD principles. Thus based on the result it is concluded that the test substance 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol is non-bioaccumulative in nature.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (HSDB, 2017) for the read across chemical Borneol (CAS no. 507-70-0),the bioaccumulation experiment in fish was conducted for estimating the BCF (bioaccumulation factor) value of read across chemical Borneol (CAS no. 507-70-0). The bioaccumulation factor (BCF) value was calculated using an estimated log Kow of 2.69 and a regression-derived equation. The estimated BCF (bioaccumulation factor) value of Borneol was determined to be 30 dimensionless, which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical Borneol is considered to be non-accumulative in aquatic organisms.

 

On the basis of above results for target chemical 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol (from EPI suite,ChemSpider, SciFinder database and CompTox Chemistry Dashboard,2017) and for its read across substance (from authoritative database HSDB), it can be concluded that the BCF value of test substance 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol ranges from 38.5–132 which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the chemical 4-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
