Details on results:

The Subject Chemical eluted as a single peak with a retention time that was within the range of retention times of the calibration substances. Therefore the results of the estimation may be expected to be realistic, because they were calculated by interpolation rather than by extrapolation. It was possible to establish the calibration line with six different calibration compounds, one eluting before the test compound, one with an almost identical retention time to the Subject Chemical itself and four eluting after it.
There were only minimal differences between the replicates of retention times for each of the calibration and test substances, and between the two injection sequences. The resultant calculated values differed only to a small extent, therefore the results may be considered as acceptable for regulatory purposes.

Executive summary:

Introduction

The octanol:water partition coefficient of the Subject Chemical was evaluated using the HPLC simulation technique with a mobile phase of methanol/water, 75/25 v/v.

Results

The Subject Chemical eluted as a single peak with a retention time that was within the range of retention times of the calibration substances. Therefore the results of the estimation may be expected to be realistic, because they were calculated by interpolation rather than by extrapolation. It was possible to establish the calibration line with six different calibration compounds, one eluting before the test compound, one with an almost identical retention time to the Subject Chemical itself and four eluting after it.
