- Conclusions:
- The vapour pressure of MI3 (solution) was determined by DSC and Knudsen cell effusion method. The procedure conformed with EC Directive 92/69/EEC Method A4, and OECD Guideline 104 (1995). The vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus, but calculated not to exceed 4.9 x 10-6 Pa at 20 oC or 25 oC.
- Executive summary:
The vapour pressure of MI3 (solution) was determined by DSC and Knudsen cell effusion method. The procedure conformed with EC Directive 92/69/EEC Method A4, and OECD Guideline 104 (1995). The vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus and could not be determined experimentally. At temperatures at 58oC there is a chemical change in the MI3. Hence, extrapolation back to 20 or 25oC using the Ln(vapour pressure) versus 1/K relationship cannot be made above this temperature since it only holds true over one chemical phase. However, from calculations, it was estimated that MI3 will not exceed 4.9 x 10-6Pa at 20oC or 25oC.
- Endpoint:
- vapour pressure
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Key result
- Remarks on result:
- not determinable because of methodological limitations
- Remarks:
- the vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus, but calculated not to exceed 4.9 x 10-6 Pa at 20 oC or 25 oC
- Conclusions:
- Data on target substance not available. Thus, read-across has been applied using data from source substance (S2).
Based on the structural similarities very similar physical chemical properties would be expected. This is further documented by the results from physical chemical guideline testing for S2 and S3 where the test results found for melting point, boiling point, flammability, self-ignition, and explosion were identical.
The determination of the vapour pressure for S2 (MI3) was performed using DSC in accordance to OECD guideline 104 (1995) and EC Directive 92/69/EEC Methods A4. The vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus, but calculated not to exceed 4.9 x 10-6 Pa at 20oC or 25oC. Therefore, the same conclusion for the target substance (Insulin DesB30) applies justified by the read-across hypothesis. - Executive summary:

This is further documented by the results from physical chemical guideline testing for S2 and S3 where the test results found for melting point, boiling point, flammability, self-ignition, and explosion were identical.
Specifically, for S2 the vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus, but calculated not to exceed 4.9 x 10-6 Pa at 20 oC or 25 oC.

DSC analysis revealed no endotherm due to water melting (around 0oC), nor any chemical change around 58oC. However, the thermograms were broadly similar above that temperature, and therefore no significant changes had occurred to the samples during the vapour pressure testing.
The measured weight losses were to small for reliable vapour pressure calculations to be made and to be measured by the system. At 54oC the vapour pressure of MI3 was 10-fold lower than the lowest detection limit of the apparatus (1x10-5Pa).
At temperatures at above 58oC there is a chemical change in MI3. Hence, extrapolation back to 20 or 25oC using the Ln(vapour pressure) versus 1/K relationship cannot be made above this temperature since it only holds true over one chemical phase.
In cases where the test substance stability places constrains on the maximum temperature a, a highest estimate of the vapour pressure is made. This is performed by assuming a vapour pressure of 1x10-5Pa at the highest temperature measured , and applying a slope of -2000 to the Ln (vapour pressure) versus 1/temperature (K) relationship. This figure is based on experimental evidence from many years of testing in different laboratories. A slope less negative than this has never been reported, typically the slopes are between – 18,000 and -8,000.
The calculated vapour pressure at 25oC will be 2.2 x 10-6Pa, and at 20oC will be 4.9 x 10-6Pa. from the measuremets it is evident that the vapour pressure will not exceed 4.9 x 10-6Pa at 20oC or 25oC.
Description of key information
Data on target substance not available. Thus, read-across has been applied using data from source substance (S2).
As can be seen from the molecular structure (see attached document in section 13) the target substance is a small protein consisting of 50 amino acids have at least 49 amino acids in common with the source substances (consisting of 50-53 amino acids) and having very identical amino acid sequences. Based on these structural similarities very similar physical chemical properties would be expected. This is further documented by the results from physical chemical guideline testing for S2 and S3 where the test results found for melting point, boiling point, flammability, self-ignition, and explosion were identical.
Specifically, for S2 the vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus, but calculated not to exceed 4.9 x 10-6 Pa at 20 oC or 25 oC.

Additional information
The determination of the vapour pressure for S2 (MI3) was performed using DSC in accordance to OECD guideline 104 (1995) and EC Directive 92/69/EEC Methods A4. The vapour pressure was below sensitivity of the apparatus, but calculated not to exceed 4.9 x 10-6 Pa at 20 oC or 25 oC. Therefore, the same conclusion for the target substance (Insulin DesB30) applies justified by the read-across hypothesis.
