Chemicals may not be soluble enough to measure this predicted effect. If the effect level excees the water solubility by 10x, typically no effects at saturation (NES) are reported.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Depending on the ECOSAR class of the substance the EC50 is predicted to be between 11.24 and 11.54 mg/L. The R2 for the amide regression was markedly higher (0.6 vs 0.27) and therefore the 11.57 mg/L was considered the most reliable.

The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result
(OECD principle 5)



The model largely relies on logKow, which typically is the main descriptor: log P is linked to the partitioning of the substance from water into the lipid phase of the daphnids, thus reflecting the chemical bioavailability.

The consensus prediction for this chemical is considered unreliable since only one prediction can only be made


 


       Hierarchical method:The toxicity for a given query compound is estimated using the weighted average of the predictions from several different models. The different models are obtained by using Ward’s method to divide the training set into a series of structurally similar clusters. A genetic algorithm based technique is used to generate models for each cluster. The models are generated prior to runtime.


       FDA method: The prediction for each test chemical is made using a new model that is fit to the chemicals that are most similar to the test compound. Each model is generated at runtime.


       Single model method: Predictions are made using a multilinear regression model that is fit to the training set (using molecular descriptors as independent variables) using a genetic algorithm based approach.        The regression model is generated prior to runtime.


       Nearest neighbor method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the 3 chemicals in the training set that are most similar to the test chemical.


          Consensus method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the predicted toxicities from the above QSAR methods (provided the predictions are within the respective applicability domains)


 

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
TEST QSAR estimates the LC50 daphnia (48h) to be 76.42 mg/L, based on the nearest neighbour method. A consensus value could not be calculated as only one out of 5 methods resulted in a prediction.

Group contributionFragment counts (such as the number of methyl and hydroxyl groups in a compound) are used to fit a multiple linear regression model to the entire data set.





Consensus method: The predicted toxicity is estimated by taking an average of the predicted toxicities from the above QSAR methods (provided the predictions are within the respective applicability domains)





Single model: Predictions are made using a multilinear regression model that is fit to the training set (using molecular descriptors as independent variables).

The biological results are listed in Table 1.

During the first 24 hours of the test no immobility of the test organisms was observed in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of 50 mg/L. At the highest test concentration of 100 mg/L, 55% of the test organisms were found to be immobile.

The 24-hour EC50 of the test item was calculated to be 96 mg/L (95% confidence limits not calculable). The 24-hour EC0 was 50 mg/L, the 24-hour EC100 was > 100 mg/L.

After 48 hours of exposure no immobility of the test organisms was observed in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of 25 mg/L. At the concentration of 50 mg/L, 35% of the daphnids were found to be immobile. At the highest test concentration of 100 mg/L all test organisms were immobile after the exposure period of 48 hours. The 48-hour EC50 was calculated to be 55 mg/L with 95% confidence limits from 40 to 77 mg/L.

The 48-hour EC0 and the 48-hour NOEC (highest concentration tested without toxic effects after 48 hours) of 2-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate were both 25 mg/L, since no immobilization was observed in the test organisms exposed to the test item at levels of up to and including this test concentration. The 48-hour EC100 was 100 mg/L.

No remarkable observations were made concerning the appearance of the test media. All test media were clear solutions throughout the entire test duration.

Conclusions:
After 48 hours of exposure no immobility of the test organisms was observed in the control and up to and including the test item concentration of 25 mg/L. At the concentration of 50 mg/L, 35% of the daphnids were found to be immobile. At the highest test concentration of 100 mg/L all test organisms were immobile after the exposure period of 48 hours. The test gave an EC50 value of 55mg/l and an NOEC value of 25 mg/l
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test item 2-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate to Daphnia magna was determined in a 48-hour static test according to the EU Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Part C.2 (1992), and the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 202 (2004). The nominal test item concentrations tested were 6.3, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L. Additionally, a control was tested in parallel. The analytically determined concentrations of the test item in the analyzed test media from the sampling times at the start, after 24 hours and at the end of the test were between 93 and 101% of the nominal values. Thus, the test item 2-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy) ethyl acrylate was stable during the test period of 48 hours under the conditions of the test, and the reported biological results are based on the nominal concentrations of the test item.

The biological test results:

− 24-hour EC50: 96 mg/L (95% confidence limits not calculable)

− 24-hour EC0: 50 mg/L

− 24-hour EC100: > 100 mg/L

− 48-hour EC50: 55 mg/L (95% confidence limits: 40 - 77 mg/L)

− 48-hour EC0 and

48-hour NOEC: 25 mg/L

− 48-hour EC100: 100 mg/L
