Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Based on the data for the individual components (N-glycyl-L-tyrosine and potassium chloride) it can be concluded that the 48h EC50 for the reaction mass of N-glycyl-L-tyrosine hydrochloride and potassium chloride is above 100 mg/L.Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data is available on the short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates of the reaction mass of N-glycyl-L-tyrosine hydrochloride and potassium chloride.
The substance consists mainly of the dipeptide N-glycyl-L-tyrosine hydrochloride (~39%), the ion potassium (~27%) , and chloride (~31%). Besides these two main components only non-hazardous / non-classified amino acids/peptides in small amounts are present (e.g. glycine ~3%),. Based on the composition of the substance it can be assumed that the results obtained with the individual main components (N-glycyl-L-tyrosine and potassium chloride) apply likewise to the test material under investigation (reaction mass of N-glycyl-L-tyrosine hydrochloride and potassium chloride). Therefore read-across data for the dipeptide N-glycyl-L-tyrosine and the salt potassium chloride is provided.
For potassium chloride a short-term toxicity study to aquatic invertebrates was available with the standard test species Daphnia magna and non-standard test species Ceriodaphnia dubia. The study was performed according to U.S. EPA methods which are equivalent or similar to OECD method 202 and the 48 hour-EC50 effect value is 660 mg/L (D. magna) and 630 mg/L (C. dubia; Mount, 1997).
According to Annex XI section 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 the performance of an immobilisation test in Daphnia magna (OECD) or an algal growth inhibition test is not required for N-glycyl-L-tyrosine because there is sufficient information about the physico-chemical properties of N-glycyl-L-tyrosine and its effects on human health and the environment. Further, according to a reliable QSAR prediction toxic effects occur significantly above the minimum limit dose of 100 mg/L in daphnia, fish and algae.
Therefore, based on the data for the individual main components it can be assumed that the 48h EC50 for the reaction mass of N-glycyl-L-tyrosine hydrochloride and potassium chloride is above 100 mg/L.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
