Conclusions:

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 Daphnia magna and cyanobacteria was predicted 2-phenylethyl pentanoate (CAS: 7460-74-4). Intoxication value was estimated to be 119.66 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It was concluded that 2-phenylethyl pentanoate (CAS: 7460-74-4) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate.

Additional information

Following studies include the predicted data and experimental study for the target chemical and structurally similar read across to conclude the toxicity extent of 2-phenylethyl pentanoate (CAS: 7460-74 4) towards aquatic inverterateis 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 Daphnia magna and cyanobacteria was predicted 2-phenylethyl pentanoate (CAS: 7460-74-4). Intoxication value was estimated to be 119.66 mg/l for Daphnia magna for 48 hrs duration. It was concluded that 2-phenylethyl pentanoate (CAS: 7460-74-4) was likely to be not toxic to aquatic invertebrate.

The above predicted results for target assisted by experimental data of read across chemical (CAS: 19329 -89 -6) from the publication chemisphere 1998, suggests that The Effective concentration EC50 to 50% of Daphnia magna when exposed to Isopentyl lactate for 48 h is 193 mg/L. Decreasing trend of mobility effect of Daphnia magna was recorded during the test. It can be concluded from the value that the Isopentyl lactateis ont toxic to the aquatic invertebrate.

Further it is supported by the experimental study of structurally similar read Isopropyl lactate (CAS: 617-51-6) from the publication chemisphere 1998, suggests that Short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates test was carried out under static condition for 48h to study the effects of Isopropyl lactate on aquatic environment. Decreasing trend of mobility effect of Daphnia magna was recorded during the test. The Effective concentration EC50 to 50% of Daphnia magna when exposed to Isopropyl lactate for 48 h is 802 mg/L. It can be concluded from the value that the Isopropyl lactate is not toxic to the aquatic invertebrate and can be considered as “not classified” as per the CLP classification criteria for aquatic environment.

Thus based on the effect concentrations which is in the range 119 mg/l to 802 mg/l give the conclusion that test substance 2-phenylethyl pentanoate (CAS: 7460-74-4) was 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 for aquatic environment.
