The relative toxicity of 14 normal aliphatic alcohols has been determined as 48-hr 50% population growth inhibition (log BR, biological response) of Tetrahymena pyriformis. A linear relationship was observed between log BR and the 1-octanol/water partition coefficient (log Kow). Comparison of log BR with 96-hr 50% mortality data for Pimephales promelas revealed excellent agreement between the two test systems. A relatively constant steady-state biophase toxicant concentration is calculated for each alcohol. Calculated chemical activity increased with an increase in hydrocarbon chain length. In addition, there was good agreement between chemical activity and the activity coefficient for narcosis.

D000438 Alcohols Alkyl compounds containing a hydroxyl group. They are classified according to relation of the carbon atom: primary alcohols, R-CH2OH; secondary alcohols, R2-CHOH; tertiary alcohols, R3-COH. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.
