In another prediction using the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2017), the biodegradation potential of the test compound N-(4 -{[4 -(dimethylamino)phenyl][4 -(methylamino)phenyl]methylene}cyclohexa-2,5 -dien-1 -ylidene)-N-methylmethanaminium acetate(CAS No. 84434 -47-9) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms was estimated.The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical N-(4 -{[4 -(dimethylamino)phenyl][4 -(methylamino)phenyl] methylene}cyclohexa-2,5 -dien-1 -ylidene)-N-methylmethanaminium acetate is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from peer reviewed journal (Toshihide Saito et. al, 1984) for the read across chemical 4,4'-carbonimidoylbis (N,N-dimethylaniline) hydrochloride (CAS no. 2465 -27 -2), biodegradation experiment was conducted for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance 4,4'-carbonimidoylbis(N,N-dimethylaniline) hydrochloride. Activated sludge was used as a test inoculum obtained from municipal sewage. Test substance of conc. 500 mg/l was prepared and diluted as needed. The COD measurement was performed by the potassium dichromate reflux method based on Japanese Industrial Standards. In the BOD measurement, a sample solution was taken into a container. Then JIS-BOD testing solutions, i.e. 3 ml of A solution and 1 ml of B, C, D solutions were added to the sample solution, respectively. Then 5 ml of the supernatant of the municipal sewage activated sludge was added to the sample solution and diluted to 300 ml with water. Immediately, the BOD-time curve was recorded at 20~ using an Ohkura OM-200I type coulometer. The TOC measurement was carried out by a Yanagimoto TOC-ILW.BOD5, COD, ThOD and TOC value of the read across chemical was determined to be 0.038, 1.42, 2.50 and 0.32 g/g, respectively. The BOD5/TOC ratio of read across chemical was determined to be 0.12 (i.e. ranges in between 0.08-0.89), indicating that the chemical is highly resistant to aerobic biodegradation. Thus, based on this value BOD5/TOC value, it can be concluded that the chemical 4,4'-carbonimidoylbis(N,N-dimethylaniline) hydrochloride is not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

For the same read across chemical 4,4'-carbonimidoylbis(N,N-dimethylaniline) hydrochloride (CAS no. 2465-27-2), biodegradation study was conducted for 14 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance 4,4'-carbonimidoylbis(N,N-dimethylaniline) hydrochloride. (CAS no. 2465-27-2) (J-CHECK, 2017). Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test substance was determined to 0 and 12% by BOD and UV-Vis parameter in 14 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 4,4'-carbonimidoylbis(N,N-dimethylaniline) hydrochloride is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

Another biodegradation study (from authoritative databaseJ-CHECK, 2017)was conducted for 28 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradability of read across substance 4,4'-methylenebis(N,N-dimethylaniline) (CAS no. 101 -61 -1). Concentration of inoculum i.e, sludge used was 30 mg/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l, respectively. The percentage degradation of test substance was determined to 0 and 1% by BOD and HPLC parameter in 28 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, 4,4'-methylenebis(N,N-dimethylaniline) is considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
