Description of key information

The LC50 of quinine bisulphate for Penaeus setiferus is 13.1 mg/L. The determined EC50 of quinine sulphate for Daphnia magna is 44.8 mg/L for 24 h and 91.93 for 48 h exposure duration. The lowest LC50 for daphnids calculated by ECOSAR v1.11 is 382 g/L derived by calculation from ECOSAR class Benzyl Alcohols.

Additional information

This experimental study was published by Guilhermino, 2000. In this publication the EC50 for Daphnia magna was determined with an Acute Daphnia toxicity tests. The EC50 (24 h) of quinine sulphate for Daphnia magna is 44,8 mg/l. In the ECOTOX Database, the toxicity of quinine bisulphate to Penaeus setiferus is shown. The LC100 (24h) of quinine bisulphate is 40 mg/L and the LC0 is 5 mg/L. The LC50 of quinine bisulphate for Penaeus setiferus is 13.1 mg/L. The short-term toxicity to daphnids calculated by ECOSAR v1.11 shows that lowest LC50 values for daphnids, 48 h, is 382 g/L derived by calculation from ECOSAR class Benzyl Alcohols. The calculated LC50 Neutral Organic Structure Analysis Relationship (baseline toxicity) for daphnid is 826 g/L.
