- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Study conducted between July 1988 and August 1988
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Qualifier:
- equivalent or similar to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- This study was undertaken to provide product chemistry data for registration purposes. The full OECD method "Hydrolysis as a function of pH" was not required however the method used was based on these guidelines.. A 7-day study at a single temperature, with determination at 3 pH's was requested. The abiotic degradation was to be avaluated and as far as possible, sterile conditions were employed.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Radiolabelling:
- no
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- Preparation of samples for analysis:
At intervals, portions of the solutions at each pH were removed and allowed to reach room temperature. Owing to the low concentartions of GEL-ALL-MD involved, the solutions were concentrated using C18 Sep-pak cartridges. An aliquot (10ml) from each solution was passed slowly through a fresh sep-pak. (The sep-paks were previously conditioned with methanol (5ml) followed by double distilled water (15 ml)). When the test solution had drained from the cartridge, the adsorbed material was eluted with methanol (1 ml). The methanol solution collected from each Sep-Pak was stored at -20 deg C prior to analysis.
At the end of the 7 day period, the frozen samples were allowed to thaw and a solution of biphenyl in methanol (1 ml, 3.9 mg (1. soln.)-1) added to each, as a marker, prior to analysis by HPLC. - Buffers:

It is proposed that the structural similarity and properties of the target substance and the structural analogue (source substance) are sufficiently close for there to be a reasonable expectation of similar effects.

Description of key information
No hydrolysis study has been conducted on the target substance (EC 251-136-4).
The hydrolysis potential of the substance (EC 251-136-4) has been assessed by reading across the results of a hydrolysis study conducted on a structurally similar analogue substance, which is detailed below.
Source Substance; Gel All MD (EC 402-950-5):
The hydrolysis characteristics of Gel-All-MD (EC 402-950-5) have been studied at 25°C, under abiotic conditions.

This indicates that the test material is subject to acid catalysed hydrolysis.
At pH 3.95 a 45% drop in concentration was observed over a 7 day interval:
Initial concentration: 0.74 mg/l solution
final concentration: 0.41 mg/l solution
The reaction was shown to obey pseudo-first order kinetics and the following parameters were obtained:
observed rate constant: 3.50 x 10-3/h
half life: ca 200 hours
Gel-All-MD was found to be stable over seven days at pH 7 and at a pH of 9.06
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Based on the result of an abiotic hydrolysis study conducted on a structurally similar substance, it is considered that the target substance (EC 251-136-4) is likely to be hydrolytically stable at pH 7 and 9. The structurally similar substance showed some hydrolysis under acidic conditions (pH 4), but it is not known if the target substance would also show this.
However, in the absence of any relevant dissociating functional groups in the target substance, significant hydrolysis is not anticipated.
