Additional information

In a prediction done by SSS (2018) using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logKow as the primary descriptor, percentage biodegradability of test chemical (1R-(1alpha,2alpha, 5beta,8beta))-4,4,8 -Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.02,5]dodecanyl acetate (CAS No. 57082-24-3) was estimated.Test substance undergoes 14.8% degradation by BOD in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, the test chemical(1R-(1alpha,2alpha,5beta,8beta))-4,4,8-Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.02,5]dodecanyl acetatewas estimated to be not readily biodegradable in water.

 

In another prediction using the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2018), the biodegradation potential of the test compound (1R-(1alpha,2alpha,5beta,8beta))-4,4,8 -Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.02,5]dodecanyl acetate (CAS No. 57082-24-3) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms was estimated.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 (1R-(1alpha,2alpha,5beta,8beta))- 4,4,8 -Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.02,5]dodecanyl acetate is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

 

On the basis of above results for target chemical (1R-(1alpha,2alpha,5beta,8beta))-4,4,8-Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.02,5]dodecanyl acetate (from OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 and EPI suite, 2018), it can be concluded that the test substance (1R-(1alpha,2alpha,5beta,8beta))-4,4,8-Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.02,5]dodecanyl acetate can be expected to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
