Individual model HENRYWIN included in the Estimation Programs Interface (EPI) Suite v4.1. There is also a standalone version HENRYWIN 3.20 available.
2. MODEL (incl. version number)
HENRYWIN v3.20 included in EPI-Suite v4.11, 2000-2012.
3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
A CAS number was entered in the initial data entry screen. In the structure window, the molecular weight, structural formula and the structure of the input SMILES notation is shown.
4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
a. Defined endpoint: The Henry´s Law Constant (HLC) of organic compounds at 25°C is estimated. The standalone version is also able to calculate the Henry´s Law Constant over a temperature range (0 to 50°C).
b. Explicit algorithm: HENRYWIN requires only a chemical structure to make these predictions. There are two different methods to estimate the HLC, the bond contribution methodology and the group contribution methodology.
The bond contribution methodology used to derive the bond contribution values is identical to that of Hine and Mookerjee (1991). Each compound is split into a summation of the individual bonds which comprise the compound. The summation is set equal to the compound's LWAPC (log water-to-air partition coefficients).
The final bond contribution method SAR equation for HENRYWIN is:
LWAPC = ∑ [ (Bi) (Nj) + (Ci) (Mj) ] [this equals the log reciprocal value of the HLC]
LWAPC is the summation of the bond contribution value of each bond (Bi) times the number of instances of each bond (Nj) plus the correction factor value of each factor (Ci) times the number of instances of each correction factor (Mj).
The group contribution methodology and original group contribution values in HENRYWIN are taken directly from Hine and Mookerjee (1975). Each compound is split into a summation of the individual groups which comprise the compound. For deriving values, the summation is set equal to the compound's LWAPC. In most cases a group is taken to contain one polyvalent atom and the monovalent atoms bonded to it, but the group is characterized by the nature of the atoms to which it is attached as well as those it contains.
c. Applicability domain: Appendix D and E of the help menu of the EPI Suite data entry page provide for each bond contribution and correction factor used in regressing the bond methodology the maximum number of instances of that bond or correction factor in any of the training set compounds.
Ranges for the 442 compound dataset (Appendix G) used for regressing the bond method coefficients (via least-square analysis):
Molecular weight:
Minimum: 26.04 g/mole
Maximum: 451.47 g/mole
Average: 144.64 g/mole
Henry's law constant (atm m3/mole):
Minimum: 5.65*10-14 atm m3/mole (57.25 Pa m3/mole)
Maximum: 2.03*10+1 atm m3/mole (2.05*106 Pa m3/mole)
d. Limits of applicability: Users may wish to consider the possibility that estimates are less accurate for compounds outside the MW range of the training set compounds, and/or that have more instances of a given bond or correction factor than the maximum for all training set compounds (see list in Appendix D for more details).
HENRYWIN estimates two separate HLC values (one using the group method and one using the bond method). The bond contribution methodology splits a compound into smaller units (one atom to another atom only). The bond method includes individual hydrogen bond values; the group method does not. Both the group method and bond method are susceptible to estimates resulting in "Missing Fragments". When a compound is split into groups or bonds, one or more of the resulting groups or bonds may not have a value in the library of available values. The group method is much more likely to have a "Missing Fragment" occurrence (meaning an HLC estimate is not possible).
Experience with HENRYWIN has shown that the difference between bond and group methods can vary by as much as 2 orders of magnitude for some compounds with many functional groups. The estimation from the group method is sometimes preferred unless the bond method uses a correction factor. In general, the bond method is preferred when a correction factor is applied. An independent evaluation (Altschuh et al., 1999) for a diverse set of organic chemicals found the bond method more accurate than the group method. The group method generates inaccurate estimates for certain types of structures, such as hexachlorocyclohexanes.
Using the bond method, a major part of the statistical inaccuracy of the 1376 compound dataset occurs when the LWAPC exceeds 5 (this equals: unitless HLC of 1*10-5, 2.45*10-7 atm m3/mole (25°C), 0.0248 Pa m3/mole).
Any organic compound with a HLC less than 3.0*10-7 atm m3/mole is considered essentially non-volatile from water (Thomas, 1990). The exposure evaluation branch of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (OPPT) uses a cut-off of 1.0*10-8 atm m3/mole for HLC estimates when evaluating Pre-Manufacture Notice chemicals (PMNs); any estimate less than the cut-off is considered 1.0*10-8 atm m3/mole.

g. Mechanistic interpretation: The Henry’s law constant is an important factor in determining the environmental fate of chemicals. Indeed, this constant is a fundamental input for fugacity models that estimate the multimedia partitioning of chemicals.
This model is based on the calculation of respective descriptor values, with the help of experimentally derived HLCs, for defined groups that comprise a compound. For modelling each compound is than split into its subgroups and the respective values are summed up to yield the HLC.

- Executive summary:
The QSAR determination of the Henry's Law Constant for 1,8-naphthylenediamine using the model HENRYWIN included in the Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite v4.11 revealed a value of 6.66 x 10E-6 Pa*m³/mol at 25°C for the unaffected molecule of the substance as any decomposition (e.g. hydrolysis) of the substance is not taken into account by the program. The bond method was chosen for this estimation instead of the group method because an independent evaluation of Altschuh et al. (1999) for a diverse set of organic chemicals found the bond method more accurate than the group method. 1,8-Naphthylenediamine is not highly complex and the rules applied for the substance appears appropriate. An individual uncertainty for the investigated substance is not available. Therefore, the prediction of the Henry´s Law Constant yields a useful result for further evaluation.
