Details on results:
The BCFBAF version 3.01 programme of the EPI Suite software (EPISuite 4.10) was used to predict either a log BCF of 0.5 (BCF of 3.16 L/kg) based on a regression estimate or a log BAF of - 0.05 (BAF of 0.893 L/kg) based on the Arnot-Gobas upper trophic model both using the smiles codes of tristetradecyl 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate and trispentadecyl 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate representing Cosmacol ECL.

Based on the expected kinetic behaviour in the body substantial amounts of Cosmacol ECL will not accumulate in the body, because it will be hydrolysed, absorbed and efficiently metabolised into water soluble metabolites, which is supported by the molecular structure of Cosmcaol ECL and its physico-chemical properties.

It is concluded that Cosmacol ECL will not accumulate in the body.
Executive summary:

The BCFBAF version 3.01 programme of the EPI Suite software (v 4.10) was used to predict either a log BCF of 0.5 (BCF of 3.16 L/kg) based on a regression estimate or a log BAF of - 0.05 (BAF of 0.893 L/kg) based on the Arnot-Gobas upper trophic model both using the smiles codes of tritetradecyl 2-hydroxypropane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate and tripentadecyl 2 -hydroxypropane-1,2,3 -tricarboxylate representing Cosmacol ECL . Because the Arnot-Gobas upper trophic model takes also into account metabolism of the substance by the organism it is lower. The QSAR-data are supported by the results of the pharmacokinetics. Cosmacol ECL will be hydrolysed, absorbed and efficiently metabolised into water soluble metabolites, which is supported by the molecular structure of Cosmacol ECL and its physico-chemical properties.

It is concluded that Cosmacol ECL will not accumulate in the body.
