The NOECs for cell growth inhibition and growth rate reduction were 0.32 mg/L (0.15 mg Pt/L) and 1.0 mg/L (0.47 mg Pt/L) respectively. The EC50 values for cell growth inhibition and growth rate reduction were 4.9 (2.3 mg Pt/L) and 52 mg/L (24.4 mg Pt/L) respectively.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of platinum (2+) tetraammine diacetate to freshwater algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) was determined in a 72-hour static test conducted according to OECD guidelines (TG 201) and to GLP.
A full test was performed in parallel with a control, with nominal test substance concentrations of 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L. Test substance concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L were not tested (based on the test guidelines). The pH varied by up to 1.8 units (more than the 1.5 units specified as a maximum by the guideline) in the control and lower range of treatment levels, though this was related to a relatively high rate of algal growth and was therefore not considered to affect the validity criterion for algal growth.
The 72-hr NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic affect) for cell growth inhibition was 0.32 mg/L, while the NOEC for growth rate reduction was 1.0 mg/L (0.47 mg Pt/L). The EC50 for cell growth inhibition was 4.9 mg/L (95% CL = 2.1 - 11 mg/L). The EC50 for growth rate reduction was 52 mg/L (95% CL = 35 - 73 mg/L), equivalent to 24.4 mg Pt/L.

Description of key information
In an OECD guideline study, to GLP, platinum (2+) tetraammine diacetate was tested for growth inhibition of freshwater algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) over a 72-hr exposure period. The NOECs for cell growth inhibition and growth rate reduction were 0.32 mg/L (0.15 mg Pt/L) and 1.0 mg/L (0.47 mg Pt/L) respectively. The EC50 values for cell growth inhibition and growth rate reduction were 4.9 (2.3 mg Pt/L) and 52 mg/L (24.4 mg Pt/L) respectively (Migchielsen, 2006b).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The acute toxicity of tetraammineplatinum(II) diacetate to freshwater algae (Selenastrum capricornutum) was determined in a 72-hour static test according to OECD guidelines (TG 201) and to GLP (rated Klimisch 2 as there were pH variations that exceeded the guideline maximum. This was related to a relatively high rate of algal growth and was therefore not considered to affect the validity criterion for algal growth).
A full test was performed in parallel with a control, with nominal test substance concentrations of 0.32, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L.Test substance concentrations in excess of 100 mg/L were not tested (based on the test guidelines). The highest test concentration that did not cause a toxic effect was 0.32 mg/L, and this was determined to be the 72-hr NOEC for cell growth reduction (with an associated EC50 of 4.9 mg/L). The NOEC for growth rate reduction was 1.0 mg/L (0.47 mg Pt/L), and the EC50 was 52 mg/L (95% CL = 35 - 73 mg/L), equivalent to 24.4 mg Pt/L (Migchielsen, 2006b).
