Miljöpåverkan
Mikafungin
Miljörisk:
Risk för miljöpåverkan av mikafungin kan inte uteslutas då ekotoxikologiska data saknas.
Nedbrytning:
Det kan inte uteslutas att mikafungin är persistent, då data saknas.
Bioackumulering:
Mikafungin har låg potential att bioackumuleras.

Environmental Risk Classification
Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC)
PEC in water is calculated according to the following formula:
PEC [µg/L] = (A*109 *(100-R))/(365*P*V*D*100) = 1,5*10-6*A(100-R)
PEC = 0,00015 µg/L
A: 1,02046 kg (sold amount API in Sweden year 2019 from IQVIA).
R: 0 % removal rate (due to loss by adsorption to sludge particles, by voloatilization, hydrolysis or biodegradation) = 0 since no data is available
P: 9*106 (number of inhabitants in Sweden)
V: 200 L/day (volume of wastewater per capita and day) (ECHA default) (Ref.1)
D: 10 (factor for dilution of wastewater by surface water flow) (ECHA default) (Ref.1)
According to the European Medicines Agency guideline on environmental risk assessment of medicinal products (EMA/CHMP/SWP/4447/00), use of micafungin is unlikely to represent a risk for the environment, because the predicted environmental concentration (PEC) is below the action limit 0.01 μg/L.
LogP for micafungin is reported as -1.6 (Ref.2) and is therefore concluded to have a low potential to bioaccumulate (Ref.3).
