Conclusions:
The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 176.1 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
Executive summary:

BCFBAF model (v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 176.1 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C) which does not exceed the bio concentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.

Additional information

Various predicted data of the test chemical and supporting weight of evidence studies for its structurally and functionally similar read across substance were reviewed for the bioaccumulation end point which are summarized as below:

 

In aprediction done using theBCFBAF Program(v3.01) of Estimation Programs Interface was used to predict the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 176.1 L/kg whole body w.w (at 25 deg C).

 

In an another prediction done by using Bio-concentration Factor (v12.1.0.50374) module Bio-concentration Factor over the entire pH scale of the test chemical was estimated to be 4.57, 31.3, 186, 387, 434, 438, 430, 360, 137, 19.4, 2.30 and 1.0 at pH 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11-14, respectively.

 

Bioconcentration Factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated using Chemspider database. The bioconcentration factor of test chemical was estimated to be 1068.6 at pH 5.5 and 693.19 at pH 7.4, respectively.

 

Another predicted data was estimated usingSciFinder database (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017) was used for predicting the bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) of test chemical was estimated to be 44.6, 266, 552, 618, 625, 613, 514, 196, 27.6 and 3.27 at pH range 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, respectively (at 25 deg C).

 

From CompTox Chemistry Dashboard using OPERA (OPEn (quantitative) structure-activity Relationship Application)  V1.02 model in which calculation based on PaDEL descriptors (calculate molecular descriptors and fingerprints of chemical), the bioaccumulation i.e BCF for test chemical was estimated to be 19 dimensionless . The predicted BCF result based on the 5 OECD principles.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from authoritative database (2017) for the test item,the BCF value of test chemical estimated was 500 dimensionless by using log Kow of 8.69 and regression derived equation and it is less than 2000 criteria therefore it is concluded that test chemical is non-bioaccumulative in aquatic organisms.

 

For the test chemical (authoritative database, 2017),the BCF value of test chemical estimated was 260 dimensionless by using log Kow of 4.0 and regression derived equation and it is less than 2000 criteria therefore it is concluded that test chemical is non bioaccumulative.

 

On the basis of above results of the test chemical, it can be concluded that the BCF value of test chemical ranges from 1 –1068.6 which does not exceed the bioconcentration threshold of 2000, indicating that the test chemical is not expected to bioaccumulate in the food chain.
