Description of key information
Short-term toxicity to fish
A 96 h study was conducted for CAS No. 2244-16-8 on Zebra fish(Danio rerio), at a test concentrations of 6.25mg/L,12.5mg/L,25mg/L,50mg/L,100mg/L . The fishes were moving slowly as compared to control. No mortalities were found in the control aquaria. The lethal concentrations LC50 was found to be 50 mg/L
LC0 (96 hours) (highest loading at which no mortality was observed) = 25 mg/L
LC50 (96 hours) Experimental = 50 mg/L
LC100 (96 hours) (lowest loading at which 100% mortality was observed) = 100 mg/L.
Based on the above effect concentration (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one can be classified as aquatic chronic 3
Eventhough the experimental result is considered (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one is toxic for fish but
(5S)-2-methyl-5- (prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one is readily biodegradable . Hence it can be considered Not classified as per CLP classification.
Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity to aquatic invertebrate was predicted (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (CAS: 2244-16-8). EC50 Intoxication value was estimated to be 249.516 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It was concluded that (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (CAS: 2244-16-8) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate.
Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria

Following studies of target chemical and structurally similar read across includes predicted data and experimental data to conclude the toxicity extent of (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (CAS: 2244-16-8) towards aquatic invertebrate is summarized as follows:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the closest read across substances, the toxicity to aquatic invertebrate was predicted (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (CAS: 2244-16-8). EC50 Intoxication value was estimated to be 249.516 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It was concluded that (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (CAS: 2244-16-8) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate.
The above predicted data of target chemical is supported by the experimental study of structurally similar read across Isophorone (CAS: 78 -59 -1) from the publication Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 1980, suggests thatTo study the effects of 1,1,3-Trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-5-one on aquatic invertebrate acute toxicity test was carried out for 48 hr under static condition. The chemical to be tested was added to 500 mL of diluent water in 2-L jars to prepare each test solution. If the chemical was soluble in the diluent water, then the 500 mL volume of test solution was divided into three, 150 mL aliquots in 250-mL beakers to provide triplicate exposures.
Observations of test populations were made at 24 and 48 hours of exposure and any mortalities were recorded. Lethal concentration LC50 to 50% of Daphnia magna when exposed to 1,1,3-Trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-5-one of 48 h is 120 mg/L. It can be concluded from the mortality value that the 1,1,3-Trimethyl-3-cyclohexene-5-one (CAS:78 -59 -1) is not toxic to the aquatic invertebrate and can be considered as “not classified” as per the classification criteria for aquatic environment.
Another supporting experimental study for the structurally similar read across 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (CAS: 868-77-9) from the (J check) 2018, also suggests that To study the effcts of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate on invertebrate test was carried out according to the OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp., Acute Immobilisation Test and Reproduction Test). The test was carried out under static condition at nominal concentrations of1000, 556, 309, 171, 95.3 mg/L (geometric ratio 1.8), control. Immobilization was measured during the test.Results after 24-hour exposure:- 50 % Effective concentration (EC50) for immobilization: 598 mg/L (95 % CL: 309 - 1000 mg/L), Results after 48-hour exposure:
- No observed effect concentration (NOEC) for immobilization: 171 mg/L,
- Lowest concentration causing 100 % immobility: 556 mg/L,(All results were based on the nominal values.)
The effective concentration EC50 to 50% of Daphnia magna when exposed to 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate for 48 hr is 380 mg/L.It can be concluded from the value that the 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (CAS: 868-77-9) is not toxic/toxic to the aquatic invertebrate and can be considered as “not classified” as per the classification criteria for aquatic environment.
Thus based on the effect concentrations which is in the range 120 mg/L to380 mg/lgive the conclusion that test substance (5S)-2-methyl-5-(prop-1-en-2-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-one (CAS: 2244-16-8) is likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate at environmentally relevant concentrations and applying weight of evidence approach it can be considered to be “not classified” as per the CLP classification criteria.
