Details on results:
The measured concentration of test item in the n-Octanol phases was found to be < LOQ. The calculation of the partition coefficient (Pow) and thelog Pow was performed using the extrapolated test item concentration in the n-Octanol phases and using the LOQ as the test item concentration in n-Octanol.

The partition coefficient (Pow) was determined to be 0.0036 (calculated with extrapolated concentration values), using shake-flask method, corresponding to a log Pow of -2.45.
The partition coefficient (Pow) and log Pow calculated with the quantification limit of the method as the concentration of the test item in n-Octanol phase was 0.0083 and the related log Pow is -2.10.
In conclusion, the partition coefficient, Pow, is considered to be lower than 0.0083 and the related log Pow lower than -2.10.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test item was determined using shake-flask method, in accordante with the method and procedures outlined into the OECD guideline 107. The concentration in the aqueous and octanol phases was determined by HPLC-UV validate method. On the basis of the preliminary assay, shake-flask method was evaluated as chosen.

In the first experiment, the calculated volume ratio was applied, in the second, this ratio is divided by two and in the third, this ratio is multiplied by two. Test temperature was 20 ± 1 °C. Three parallel tests were carried out at all solvent ratios in 15 ml centrifuge tubes. The test vessels were shaken by hand through 180 ° about its transverse axis, hundred times during five minutes.

An HPLC method using UV-VIS detection has been validated for the quantification of the test item in ultra-pure water and in n-octanol.

The procedure was found to be suitable for the analysis.

The partition coefficient (Pow) of the substance was determined to be lower than 0.0083 (log Pow < -2.10) at 20 °C and pH values varied between 5.2 and 6.7.

Conclusion

log Pow < -2.10 at 20 °C and pH 5.2 - 6.7.
