Type of information:

Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Well documented QSAR calculation using analogues for validation. QSAR-prediction is within the parametric domain of the model; however, the reaction mass constituent is only within 59.1% of structural domain of QSAR prediction model.
Justification for type of information:
QSAR prediction: migrated from IUCLID 5.6

The developers of the QSAR present a decision rule for the interpretation of the predicted Log BCF based on the assessment of their training and validation data (See Table 1c). Based on this decision rule the constituents of Bisphenol A diglycidil ether (BADGE) and the product of hydrolysis are not bioaccumulative with high confidence.

Not Bioaccumulative – high confidence

 

b.     Predicted value (comments): Metabolism and water solubillity are the most relevant mitigating factor for the two constituents, specifically constituent 2). Bioconcentration is also reduced due to size constraints. 

c.      Input for prediction: SMILES as specified under 1.5a

d.     Descriptor values:    Prediction is based on Kow prediction based on Epiwin(US Environmental Protection Agency and Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC) 2008). Table 1b gives intermediate results used for in the calculation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The bioconcentration potential of the three major constituents in Paraformaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with 4-tert-butylphenol, m-phenylenebis(methylamine) have been assessed using a QSAR algorithm as described by Dimitrov et al (2005) and implemented in OASIS CATALOGIC. The model estimates steady state whole fish bioconcentration factor (BCF) based on a maximum BCF and mitigating factors that reduce the BCF.

Two constituents are part of the training set. The unknowns are within the parametric domain of the model and within more than 59% of the structural domain as defined by first neighbour atom centred fragments.

Based on the accuracy in the prediction for the two constituents that are part of the training set and which are building blocks of the third constituent, the predicted BCF including the correction for metabolic reactions are considered reliable.

Assuming that the prediction falls within the range of accurate predictions as defined by the developer the following BCF are calculated for the constituents of Paraformaldehyde, oligomeric reaction products with 4-tert-butylphenol, m-phenylenebis(methylamine).
