Environmental Risk Classification
Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC)
PEC is based on following data and calculated using the equation outlined in the fass.se guidance (Ref 1):
PEC (µg/L) = (A*109*(100-R))/(365*P*V*D*100)
PEC (µg/L) = 1.37*10-6*A*(100-R)
A (kg/year) = 23.54 kg, total sold amount API in Sweden year 2020, data from IQVIA Health.
R (%) = removal rate (due to loss by adsorption to sludge particles, by volatilization,
hydrolysis or biodegradation) R = 0.
P = number of inhabitants in Sweden = 10 *106
V (L/day) = volume of wastewater per capita and day = 200 (default, Ref 1)
D = factor for dilution of waste water by surface water flow = 10 (default, Ref 1)
(Note: The factor 109 converts the quantity used from kg to μg).
PEC = 1.37 * 10-6 * 23.54 * (100-0) = 0.0032 μg/L
(Note: Whilst dapagliflozin is metabolised in humans, little is known about the ecotoxicity of the metabolites. Hence, as a worst case, for the purpose of this calculation, it is assumed that 100% of excreted metabolites have the same ecotoxicity as parent dapagliflozin).
Metabolism
Dapagliflozin is rapidly adsorbed and extensively metabolised. Dapagliflozin and its related metabolites are primarily eliminated via urinary excretion with less than 2% as unchanged dapagliflozin (Ref 2). After administration of a 50 mg [14C]-dapagliflozin dose, 96% was recovered, 75% in urine and 21% in faeces. In faeces, approximately 15% of the dose was excreted as parent drug (Ref 3). Therefore, the patient use of dapagliflozin is likely to result mainly in metabolites and, to a lesser extent, the active moiety entering the environment.

PNEC (Predicted No Effect Concentration)
Long-term tests have been undertaken for species from three trophic levels, based on internationally accepted guidelines. Therefore, the PNEC is based on the results from the chronic toxicity to fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas), the most sensitive species, and an assessment factor of 10 is applied, in accordance with ECHA guidance (Ref. 10).
PNEC = 1000/10 µg/L = 100 µg/L
Environmental risk classification (PEC/PNEC ratio)
PEC = 0.0032 µg/L
PNEC = 100 µg/L
PEC/PNEC = 3.2 x 10-5
The PEC/PNEC ratio is < 0.1 which justifies the phrase: ‘Use of dapagliflozin has been considered to result in insignificant environmental risk’.

Biotic degradation
Dapagliflozin is not readily biodegraded as measured in an OECD 301F study (Ref 11), but based on the Aerobic Transformation in Aquatic Sediment System OECD 308 (Ref 12), dapagliflozin slowly degrades in the environment.
The degradation of dapagliflozin in aquatic sediment systems was assessed according to the OECD 308 Test Guideline. In this test two different sediments were used, one with high organic matter (HOM) and one with low organic matter content (LOM). Radiolabelled test substance was dosed into the overlying water and the subsequent dissipation from the water phase, and partitioning and/or degradation in the sediment, was observed over a 99 day test period. Since mineralisation was very strong the test vessels were kept to monitor CO2 production over 148 days.
The partitioning of dapagliflozin in aquatic sediment systems appears to stop at Day 8 and no further significant amounts of radioactivity moved into the sediment. Afterwards degradation and mineralisation took place, apparently in the water phase.
Transformation of dapagliflozin into a possible seven transformation products was rapid as was partitioning to the sediment. Extensive mineralisation was seen in both the high and low organic matter sediment vessels with 35 and 68%, respectively of the applied radioactivity produced as CO2 after 99 days.
Following extensive sediment extration, using a variety of organic solvents of varying polarity, a significant proportion of the applied radioactivity, 44% in the high organic matter system and 24% in the low organic matter system, on Day 99, remained as non-extractable residue (NER). At Day 99 the amount of applied radioactivity removed from the total system as 14CO2 and NER, accounted for 79 and 92% in the high and low organic matter sediment vessels, respectively. Accordingly the half life of dapagliflozin in both aquatic sediment systems is <120 days.
Based on the data above dapagliflozin has been assigned the risk phrase: ‘Dapagliflozin is slowly degraded in the environment.’
In Swedish: “Dapagliflozin bryts ned långsamt i miljön.” under the heading “Nedbrytning”.
Bioaccumulation
Dapagliflozin is not ionisable within the environmentally relevant pH range (estimated pKa = 12.6). The octanol-water partition coefficient was 2.34, measured at pH 7.4. Since Log POW < 4, dapagliflozin has low potential to bioaccumulate and the phrase “Dapagliflozin has low potential for bioaccumulation” is assigned.
In Swedish: ”Dapagliflozin har låg potential att bioackumuleras” under the heading “Bioackumulering”.

Metabolism and excretion
Saxagliptin is extensively metabolised in humans to numerous metabolites. It is excreted in urine and faeces together with the primary metabolite, BMS-510849. This metabolite was indicated to be approximately half as potent as Saxagliptin in in vitro studies (Ref 15). Overall, following oral administration Saxagliptin accounted for 34.1% of the excreted dose (urine + faeces) and BMS-510849 accounted for 36.6% of excreted dose (urine + faeces) (Ref 2).

Biodegradation
Saxagliptin cannot be classified as readily biodegradable (Ref 10) and is unlikely to partition to the sludge solids during wastewater treatment based on finding from an OECD106 study (Ref 11).
The rate of aerobic and anaerobic transformation of [14C]Saxagliptin (Ref 12) was studied in two sediments (Goose River with a high organic carbon content of ~2.8% and Golden Lake with a low organic carbon content of ~1%) with associated overlying waters for 102 Days. Only the observations in under aerobic conditions are reported here.
The half-life (DT50) of Saxagliptin in the water fraction was 20 days and 23.2 days in the LOC and HOC systems, respectively.
Sediment samples were extracted twice using acetonitrile:water (80:20) and once with acetonitrile:water:concentrated hydrochloric acid (80:20:0.1). By Day 102 an average of 42.2% and 67.6% of the applied radioactivity was associated with the sediment in the LOC and HOC systems, respectively. Of this, an average of 21.9% and 26.4% were extractable in the LOC and HOC systems, respectively. The half-life of saxagliptin in the total systems was 20 days [LOC] and 30 days [HOC] in the LOC and HOC systems, respectively.
Two major degradation products (>10% of the applied radioactivity) were observed in each of the aerobic test systems. These metabolites were detected at HPLC retention times of approximately 13 and 18 minutes in the HOM system, and 18 and 20 minutes in LOM system. Characterisation of these metabolites was performed by HPLC/MS/MS. The cumulative amount of evolved 14CO2 was <2% of the applied radioactivity in each of the test systems. Less than 0.1% of the applied radioactivity was detected as volatile organics.
At the end of the study, 3% and 7.3% of the applied radioactivity were identified as parent in the LOC and HOC systems, respectively.
As the total system half-life was ≤32 days, and less than 15% parent compound was remaining at the end of the study, the phrase ‘Saxagliptin is degraded in the environment’ has been assigned.
In Swedish: Saxagliptinhydroklorid bryts ned i miljön.
Bioaccumulation Data
Saxagliptin is ionisable, therefore the Log Dow was determined across the environmentally relevant pH-range. The Log Dow values are low; as such Saxagliptin has no significant bioaccumulation potential and the phrase ‘Saxagliptin has low potential for bioaccumulation’ has been assigned.
In Swedish: Saxagliptinhydroklorid har låg potential att bioackumuleras.
