The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

Adsorption / desorption

The adsorption coefficient Koc in soil and in sewage sludge of test chemical Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 121 for testing of Chemicals (Experimental study report, 2018). The solutions of the test substance and reference substances were prepared in appropriate solvents. A test item solution was prepared by accurately pipetting 4 microliter of test item and diluted with Acetonitrile up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 44.92 mg/l (calculated according to its density). The pH of test substance was 8.1. Each of the reference substance and test substance were analysed by HPLC at 210 nm. After equilibration of the HPLC system, Urea was injected first, the reference substances were injected in duplicate, followed by the test chemical solution in duplicate. Reference substances were injected again after test sample, no change in retention time of reference substances was observed. Retention time tR were measured, averaged and the decimal logarithms of the capacity factors k were calculated. The graph was plotted between log Koc versus log k(Annex - 2).The linear regression parameter of the relationship log Koc vs log k were also calculated from the data obtained with calibration samples and therewith, log Koc of the test substance was determined from its measured capacity factor. The reference substances were chosen according to estimated Koc range of the test substance and generalized calibration graph was prepared. The reference substances were Acetanilide, 4-chloroaniline, 4-methylaniline(p-Tolouidine), N-methylaniline, p-toluamide, Aniline, 2,5 -Dichloroaniline, 4 -nitrophenol, 2 - nitrophenol, 2 -nitrobenzamide, 3-nitrobenzamide, Nitrobenzene, 4-Nitrobenzamide, 1-naphthylamine, 1-naphtol, Direct Red 81, Benzoic acid methylester, Carbendazim, Benzoic acid phenylester, Xylene, Ethylbenzene, Toluene, Naphthalene, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene, Pentachlorophenol, Phenol, N,N-dimethylbenzamide, 3,5-dinitrobenzamide, N-methylbenzamide, Benzamide, phenanthrene, DDT having Koc value ranging from 1.25 to 5.63. The Log Koc value of test chemical Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate was determined to be 2.294± 0.002 at 25°C. This log Koc value indicates that the substance Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate has a low sorption to soil and sediment and therefore have moderate migration potential to ground water.

Predicted data for the target compound Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate and various supporting weight of evidence studies for its structurally and functionally similar read across substance were reviewed for the biodegradation end point which are summarized as below:

 

In a prediction done using the Estimation Programs Interface Suite (modelling database, 2018) was run to predict the biodegradation potential of the test compound Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms. The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called as Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

 

In a supporting weight of evidence study from experimental study report (2018), 28-days Closed Bottle test following the OECD guideline 301 D to determine the ready biodegradability of the test item. The study was performed at a temperature of 20°C. The test system included control, test item and reference item. Polyseed were used for this study. 1 polyseed capsule were added in 500 ml D.I water and then stirred for 1 hour for proper mixing and functioning of inoculum. This gave the bacterial count as 107 to 108 CFU/ml. At the regular interval microbial plating was also performed on agar to confirm the vitality and CFU count of microorganism. The concentration of test and reference item (Sodium Benzoate) chosen for both the study was 4 mg/L, while that of inoculum was 32 ml/l. OECD mineral medium was used for the study. ThOD (Theoretical oxygen demand) of test and reference item was determined by calculation. % degradation was calculated using the values of BOD and ThOD for test item and reference item. The % degradation of procedure control (reference item) was also calculated using BOD & ThOD and was determined to be 73.49%. Degradation of Sodium Benzoate exceeds 31.32% on 7 days & 49.39 on 14th day. The activity of the inoculum is thus verified and the test can be considered as valid. The BOD28 value of test chemical was observed to be 0.52 mgO2/mg. ThOD was calculated as 2.44 mgO2/mg. Accordingly, the % degradation of the test item after 28 days of incubation at 20 ± 1°C according to Closed Bottle test was determined to be 21.31%. Based on the results, the test item, under the test conditions, was not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

For the test chemical,biodegradation study was carried out for 42 days for evaluating the percentage biodegradation of the test chemical using modified OECD Guideline 302B. Activated sludge was used as a test inoculum. The sources of the activated sludge were treatment plants conveniently located to the laboratories carrying out the test. These treatment plants received communal and/or industrial wastewater. Concentration of inoculum i.e, activated sludge used was 0.5 g/l and initial test substance conc. used in the study was 100 mg/l. Analytical methods involve the measurement of extinction at absorption maximum 412 nm and DOC (dissolved organic carbon).The percentage degradation of the test substance was determined to be 16% by using DOC removal parameter in 42 days. Thus, based on percentage degradation, test chemical was considered to be not readily biodegradable in nature.

 

On the basis of above results for target chemical Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate (from modelling database, 2018), it can be concluded that the test substance Reaction mass of 3H-​Indolium, 2-​[2-​[4-​(dimethylamino)​phenyl]​ethenyl]​-​1,​3,​3-​trimethyl-​ & acetate can be expected to be not readily biodegradable in nature.
