Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
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 IC50 of quinidine is between 200 µM (64.88 mg/L) and 400 µM (129.77 mg/L). At a concentration of 400 µM (129.77 mg/L) the maximal effect was obtained and the quantum efficiency is close to 0. At a concentration of 200 µM quinidine the quantum use efficiency is reduced but still above 50% of the control.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The toxicity to cyanobacterium Arthrospira maxima was determined with a quantum efficiency test. The IC50 is between 200 µM and 400 µM quinidine. At a concentration of 400 µM (129.77 mg/L) the maximal effect was obtained and the quantum efficiency is close to 0. At a concentration of 200 µM quinidine the quantum use efficiency is reduced but still above 50% of the control. Thus, the IC50 is > 200 µM (64.88 mg/L). The effect was determined over time. For 200 µM quinidine the maximal effect was observed after 6 hours exposure.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
