Additional information

 Results of two different predicted data study for target chemical 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (CAS no.68189-39-9) and supporting experimental weight of evidence studies for its structurally similar read across chemical were summarized below.

 

 In first weight of evidence study the biodegradability of test chemical 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid was predicted by using OECD QSAR tool box v3.3 using log Kow as primary descriptor in this study the test chemical 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid showed 1.7 % degradation by considering BOD as parameter and microrganisms as inoculum  in 28 days. Based on Percent biodegradability it is concluded that this test chemical is not readily biodegradable.

 

Another weight of evidence study was done by using Estimation Programs Interface Suite (EPI suite, 2017) to estimate the biodegradation potential of the test compound 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (CAS no. 68189 -39 -9) in the presence of mixed populations of environmental microorganisms. The biodegradability of the substance was calculated using seven different models such as Linear Model, Non-Linear Model, Ultimate Biodegradation Timeframe, Primary Biodegradation Timeframe, MITI Linear Model, MITI Non-Linear Model and Anaerobic Model (called Biowin 1-7, respectively) of the BIOWIN v4.10 software. The results indicate that chemical 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid is expected to be not readily biodegradable.

 

Next study was supporting weight of evidence study was done from Chemosphere journal, 1986 for structurally similar read across chemical 4-amino-5-hydroxy-3,6-bis[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:4)( CAS no.17095-24-8. In this study the aerobic biodegradation experiment was performed for read across chemical by using activated sludge at concentration 0.5 g/L dry material as inoculums and initial concentration of chemical taken was 100mg/L for 28 days. By considering DOC removal parameter read across chemical showed     -53 % biodegradation in 28 days. This read across chemical was categorized in D category which shows no elimination in static test. This percentage value is also very less So it is concluded that read across chemical 2,7-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 4-amino-5-hydroxy-3,6-bis[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:4) is not readily biodegradable.

 

Similarly, another supporting weight of evidence study was also done from Chemosphere journal, 1986 for another structurally similar read across chemical 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid, 6-(acetylamino)-4-hydroxy-3-[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:2) ( CAS no.12225-88-6 in this study the aerobic biodegradation experiment was performed for read across chemical using activated sludge at concentration 0.5 g/L dry material as inoculums and initial concentration of chemical taken was 100mg/L for 42 days. By considering DOC removal parameter test chemical showed 15 % degradation in 28 days and this read across chemical was categorized in D category which shows no elimination in static test. This percentage value is very less So it is concluded that read across chemical sodium 2-Naphthalenesulfonic acid, 6-(acetylamino)-4-hydroxy-3-[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:2) is not readily biodegradable.

 

 Last supporting weight of evidence study was done from authoritative database J check, 2017 for structurally similar read across chemical 2,7-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 4-amino-5-hydroxy-3,6-bis[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:4) (CAS no. 17095-24-8). In this study the read across chemical was subjected to biodegradation test by taking activated sludge as inoculums at 30 mg/L concentration. Biodegradation was analysed by using BOD, TOC and HPLC parameters. The initial concentration of test chemical was 100 mg/L. The study design used was of standard type. The read across chemical 2,7-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 4-amino-5-hydroxy-3,6-bis[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:4) showed 4.0 % and 9 % biodegradation by considering BOD and TOC as parameter respectively but it showed 96 % biodegradation by HPLC parameter . Percent biodegradability values of read across chemical by BOD and TOC parameters are very low but by HPLC parameter test chemical showed very high biodegradability but this high value of biodegradation is not due complete degradation of read across chemical but it is due to partial change of test chemical and formation of 4-Amino-5-hydroxy-3,6-bis[4-(vinylsulfonyl)phenylazo]-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid . Therefore on the basis of percent biodegradability by BOD and TOC parameters it is concluded that read across chemical 2,7-Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 4-amino-5-hydroxy-3,6-bis[2-[4-[[2-(sulfooxy)ethyl]sulfonyl]phenyl]diazenyl]-, sodium salt (1:4) is not readily biodegradable.

 

 Results of all the studies mentioned above showed that the test chemical and structurally similar read across chemical are not readily biodegradable because percent biodegradability was very low in predicted studies as well as experimental studies. Therefore by compiling all above studies it is concluded that target chemical 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (CAS no.68189-39-9) can be considered as not readily biodegradable.
