The water solubility of the test item was investigated in a GLP-compliant study using the flask method according to the EU A.6 (2008) and OECD TG 105 (1995) protocol. The experiment is deemed valid, conclusive and thus suitable for assessment without restrictions.
Based on the preliminary result, mixtures of 0.11 g test item and 1000 mL glass double-distilled water were added to three separate flasks. Duplicate standard solutions of test item were prepared in tetrahydrofuran to cover a nominal concentration range of 10 to 100 mg/L. A calibration curve was established for the relation between the mean peak area and the standard solution test item concentration. The sample preparation assured enrichment by a factor of 100 and consequently the determination range was corrected with the dilution factor 0.01 to be 0.1 to 100 mg/L. The validation of the analytical method revealed mean 95 % recovery (range 87.8 to 99.1 %).
Based on the preliminary result, loadings of 110 mg/L glass double-distilled water were added to three separate flasks. After addition of glass double-distilled water to the flasks, they were shaken for 24, 48 or 72 h at approximately 30 °C and, after standing at 20 °C for a period of 24 h, the contents of the flasks were filtered 3 times through 0.2 µm filters. The pH of each solution was measured.
No peak was found in the watery solutions and pH 6.2, 4.7 and 4.1 were measured in the replicates shaken for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. Therefore it can be concluded that they contained significantly less test item than the lowest standard.
In conclusion the water solubility of the water accommodated test item was clearly < 0.101 mg/L WAF at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, which should be regarded as water insoluble or < 0.1 mg/L considering the analytical recovery of 95 %.

Standard 80.6 mg/L | 30,480,000 |

Standard 20.1 mg/L | 3,419,000 |
Standard 10.1 mg/L | 1,332,000* |
Matrix blanks | None detected |
Samples | None detected |
* These values were stated 10 times higher in the study report, which is considered erroneous, as the calibration curve, in which the mean peak area and the concentration of each standard were plotted (see illustration below) shows a picture in agreement with the figures in the table above.
As no peak was detected in the samples at the retention time of the test item, the result was based on the standard of least concentration (10.1 mg/L) which showed a definitive peak for the test item. The concentration was then corrected for the dilution by the factor 0.01.
Table 3: Concentration of test item in the sample solutions
Sample no. | Time shaken at ~ 30 ºC [h] | Time equilibrated at 20 ºC [h] | Concentration [mg/L] | Solution pH |
1 | 24 | 24 | < 0.101 | 6.2 |
2 | 48 | 24 | < 0.101 | 4.7 |
3 | 72 | 24 | < 0.101 | 4.1 |
In conclusion the overall concentration of the test item was found clearly < 0.101 mg/L at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C
Validation
Recovery of analysis of the sample procedure was assessed and proved adequate for the test. At a nominal concentration of 0.5 mg/L, a mean percentage recovery of 95.0 % was obtained (range 87.8 to 99.1 %). Concentrations have not been corrected for recovery of analysis.
Description of key information
Insoluble, nominal < 0.101 mg/L WAF at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, should be regarded water insoluble (< 0.1 mg/L) considering the analytical recovery of 95 % (OECD 105)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 0.101 mg/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
The water solubility was investigated in a GLP-compliant study (Fox & White 2012, Harlan Report no. 41103263) using the flask method according to the EU A.6 (2008) and OECD TG 105 (1995) protocol. The experiment is deemed valid, conclusive and thus suitable for assessment without restrictions.
No peak was found in the watery solutions. Therefore it can be concluded that they contained significantly less submission item than the lowest standard. Accordingly the water solubility of the water accommodated submission item was nominal < 0.101 mg/L WAF at 20.0 ± 0.5 °C, which can be regarded as insoluble (< 0.1 mg/L) considering mean analytical recovery of 95 %.
Despite general methodological objections a rough estimation of the actual level of water solubility may be made on the basis of the Kow, which is by definition the equilibrium concentration ratio in connected n-octanol and water phases and the water solubility. The Kow (or Pow) is > 2,510,000,000 and the water solubility is < 0.101 mg/L as derived in the respective sections. The approximation by multiplying Kow with the water solubility gives ca. 253,510,000 mg/L or ca. 253 kg/L (with increasing Kow value starting point the result increases), which seems to considerably higher than possible. This demonstrates that the water solubility is likely to be significantly lower than 0.101 mg/L by two or more orders of magnitude.
