Results and discussion

% Degradation
Key result
Parameter:
probability of ready biodegradability (QSAR/QSPR)
Remarks on result:
readily biodegradable based on QSAR/QSPR prediction

Model

Prediction for Ready Biodegradability

SciQSAR

Readily Biodegradable

(inside applicability domain)

Leadscope

Not Readily Biodegradable

 (outside applicability domain)

CASE Ultra

Readily Biodegradable

 (inside applicability domain)

* Results with VEGA 1.1.4

The query substance was predicted as “Possible readily biodegradable ” however with low reliability with Ready Biodegradability model (IRFMN) -v1.0.9. The report mentions that the substance was outside the applicability domain.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Based on multiple QSAR models applied, the test item was predicted as readily biodegradable.
