The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

The LC50 was estimated by QSAR prediction based on trend analysis. The LC50 for short-term fish toxicity (96h) of L-proline was calculated to be 10500 mg/L.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Fresh water fish

Fresh water fish
Effect concentration:
10 500 mg/L

Marine water fish

Additional information

Results from a feeding study demonstrate that L-proline at a concentration of at least 0.5 % in diet does not have lethal effects to Anguilla japonica when being fed for at least 40 days.

No toxicity at the limit concentration was observed in acute toxicity studies with daphnia (according to OECD202) and algae (according to OECD201) indicating that the substance has a very low / no hazard potential for aquatic organisms. Further, as the substance (in protein) is a basic component of fish food it is very unlikely that fish in an OECD203 study exposed to limit concentrations (100 mg/l) of L-proline show any adverse effect. Therefore and for animal welfare reasons is seems sufficient to use an in silico approach to predict the LC50 for short-term fish toxicity (96h).

An estimation by QSAR based on trend analysis results in a LC50 (96h) of L-proline of 10500 mg/L
