Biodegradability of test chemical 3-methyl-6-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]-3H-naphtho[1,2,3-de]quinoline-2,7-dione (CAS no. 81 -39 -0) was estimated by uisng OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 by considering nine closest read across chemicals with log Kow as primary descriptor. The test chemical  3-methyl-6-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]-3H-naphtho[1,2,3-de]quinoline-2,7-dione undergoes 2.677 % biodegradation by considering BOD as parameter and microorganisms as inoculum in 28 days. On the basis of percent degradability value it can be concluded that this test chemical is not readily biodegradable.

Biodegradation in water and sediment:

Estimation Programs Interface (EPI Suite, 2017) prediction model was run to predict the half-life in water and sediment for the test compound 3-methyl-6-[(4-methylphenyl)amino]-3H-naphtho[1,2,3-de]quinoline-2,7-dione (CAS no.81 -39 -0) .
