Additional information

Based on the experimental data from various database for the target chemical study have been reviewed to determine the mode of action of2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS no. 634-93-5)on the growth and other activity of microorganisms. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

In the first key study from peer reviewed journal 2007, study was designed to access the effect of the substance 2,4,6-trichloroaniline on the luminescent bacteria Photobacterium phosphoreum carried out for 30 minutes. Before testing chemical was analyzed by HPLC. Based on the inhibition of luminescence of Photobacterium phosphoreum, the EC50 was observed at 4.61 mg/l. Based on the EC50, chemical can be consider as toxic.

 

First key study was supported by the second study from secondary sources 1987, 30 minutes study was conducted in which toxicity were measured on the basis of inhibition of luminescence of Pseudomonas putida. Based on the inhibition of cell multiplication after 30 minutes exposures, the EC10 of the test material 2, 4, 6-trichloroaniline is observed to be > 21 mg/L in Pseudomonas putida.

 

Similar study from same sources 30 minutes study was conducted in which toxicity were measured on the basis of inhibition of luminescence of Photobacterium phosphoreum. Toxicity effect of the test material 2, 4, 6-trichloroaniline was studied in Photobacterium phosphoreum. The toxicity effect were observed based on inhibition of luminescence during 30 minutes period. The EC50 is determine to be 4.60 mg/L.

 

Based on the above data, it was observed that the toxicity value ranges from 4.60 to > 21 mg/l.
