key study
Study period:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Remarks:
The test item falls within the applicability domain of the model except for the descriptor domain. Therefore, the predicted CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) is considered as an extrapolation. This result can be considered as reliable with restrictions (descriptor domain).

Remarks:
QSAR model
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) was determined using iSafeRat® fishEC10, a validated QSAR model for the Mechanism of Action (MechoA) in question (MechoA 1.1, i.e. non-polar narcosis) (Bauer et al., 2018). The QSAR is based on validated data for a training set of 27 chemicals derived from 32-day test on fish, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period.

The QSAR is based on data from studies performed at acceptable hardness to ensure control survival.
Test temperature:
The temperatures varied from approximately from 10 to 25 °C depending on the fish species used to construct the algorithm.

Test results were taken from studies with measured pHs between 6.0 - 8.5.
Dissolved oxygen:
The model is based on data from studies performed at acceptable oxygen concentrations (generally >60%).

not applicable
Nominal and measured concentrations:
Studies were used only where sufficient evidence was presented to determine that the stubstance was stable under test conditions (i.e. maintened within ± 20 % of the nominal) or, if not, the result was based on measured concentrations as geometric mean.
Details on test conditions:
Preferentially results from a flow-through test were used. However semi-static with daily renewal of test solutions and the control was accepted (preferably accompanied by analytical measurements over the study period). For suspected volatile substances only tests performed in closed vessels were accepted unless accompanying analytical monitoring proved such a design was not necessary.

Applicability Domain


 


Descriptor domain


The Subcooled Liquid Water Solubility value (< -6.749 in log10 (mol/L)) given as the input to the iSafeRat® fishEC10 model does not fall within the descriptor domain of the model between -5.140 and 0.702 in log10 (mol/L). Therefore, the prediction is considered as an extrapolation.


 


Structural fragment domain


The variability of structure in the training set is not considered as a relevant domain since the model is based on a mechanistic approach (mechanism of action). Since the MechoA is related to the molecular structure, the following list of chemical moieties can give an overview of the structural domain:



  • Alcohol

  • Alkane

  • Alkene

  • Anthraquinones

  • Aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon

  • Ester

  • Ether

  • Halogenated hydrocarbons

  • Ketone


The test item as an anthraquinone can be taken into account by the model.


 


Mechanistic domain:


The iSafeRat® fishEC10 model can reliably predict the aquatic toxicity for chemicals with the following mechanisms of action of toxicity (MechoA):



  • non-polar narcosis (MechoA 1.1)

  • mono-/poly-esters whose hydrolysis products are narcotics (MechoA 2.1)


The MechoA of molecules is predicted directly from the structure. The test item as an aminoanthraquinone is expected to exert a MechoA 1.1 & m4.3: Non-polar narcosis for all species & metabolisation into nitroso generating protein and DNA adducts, oxidative stress, DNA adducts, cancer development for mammals only (Bauer et al., 2018). Therefore, the test item can be taken into account by the model in order to predict toxicity to non-mammal aquatic organisms.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The test item falls within the applicability domain of the model except for the descriptor domain. Therefore, the predicted CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) is considered as an extrapolation. This result can be considered as reliable with restrictions (descriptor domain).
The CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) of the test item was predicted as greater than the water solubility value within the exposure period of the test.
95% confidence interval (α = 0.05): not applicable
Executive summary:

A Quantitative Structure Activity Relationship (QSAR) model was used to calculate the CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) for the test item. This QSAR model has been validated to be compliant with the OECD recommendations for QSAR modeling (OECD, 2004) and predicts the endpoint value which would be expected when testing the substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory following Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 210, "Fish, Early-life Stage Toxicity Test" (OECD, 2013). The criterion predicted was the EC10 (10% Effective Concentration), a concentration which is expected to cause an effect of 10% on growth or reproducibility within a period of 32 days.


 


The CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) was determined using iSafeRat® fishEC10, a validated QSAR model for the Mechanism of Action (MechoA) in question (MechoA 1.1, i.e. non-polar narcosis) (Bauer et al., 2018). The QSAR is based on validated data for a training set of 27 chemicals derived from 32-day test on fish, for which the concentrations of the test item had been determined by chemical analyses over the test period.


 


The test item falls within the applicability domain of the model except for the descriptor domain. Therefore, the predicted CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) is considered as an extrapolation. This result can be considered as reliable with restrictions (descriptor domain).



The CHRONIC TOXICITY TO FISH (32-DAY EC10) of the test item was predicted as greater than the water solubility value within the exposure period of the test.
