4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
- Defined endpoint:
Partition coefficient (n-Octanol/Water)

- Unambiguous algorithm:
Results of the two successive multiple regressions (first for atom/fragments and second for correction factors) yield the following general equation for estimating log P of any organic compound: log P = Σ(fini ) + Σ(cjnj ) + 0.229 (num = 2447, r2 = 0.982, std dev = 0.217, mean error = 0.159)

- Defined domain of applicability:
Log P estimates are less accurate for compounds outside the MW range (18.02 - 199.98) of the training set compounds, and/or that have more instances of a given fragment than the maximum for all training set compounds.

- Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity:
R² = 0.94

- Mechanistic interpretation:
KOWWIN uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict log P. In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate. KOWWIN’s methodology is known as an Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method. Coefficients for individual fragments and groups were derived by multiple regression of 2447 reliably measured log P values. KOWWIN’s "reductionist" fragment constant methodology (i.e. derivation via multiple regression) differs from the "constructionist" fragment constant methodology of Hansch and Leo (1979) that is available in the CLOGP Program (Daylight, 1995).

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
- Descriptor domain:
Molecular weight = 116 - 448

- Structural and mechanistic domains:
Functional groups are within the domain of the model.
-CH3 (aliphatic carbon) 1 fragment (model maximum: 20)
-CH2- (aliphatic carbon) 2 fragments (model maximum: 28)
-CH (aliphatic carbon) 1 fragment (model maximum: 23)
-COOH (hydroxy, aliphatic attach) 2 fragments (model maximum: 9)

- Similarity with analogues in the training set:
There are close structural analogues (~ 190 organic acids) in the training set.

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT
The prediction is reliable and log Kow is required for risk assessment and classification and labelling purposes.

This endpoint study record is part of a Weight of Evidence approach comprising of QSAR prediction and a literature derived value. The data sources agree as to the partition coefficient value and are sufficient to fulfil the information requirements as further explained in the provided endpoint summary.

Details on results:
The examples assessed above do represent constituents in the range from C6 - C30 congeners of acids with 1 - 4 cycloalcyl moieties. Thus, they represent a wide range of possible constituents, knowingly that the average range of carbon numbers is more likely in the 10 - 15 range, making up ~ 90% by weight with a log Pow of ~ 3.7 - ~ 6.
Conclusions:
The EPI Suite (US EPA) Version 4.1 model KOWWIN v1.68 (September 2010) estimated the Log Kow to be in the range of mainly 3.7 - 6 for C10 - C15.
Executive summary:

The log Pow was estimated with KOWWIN version 1.68. This QSAR model is included in the EpiSuite programs developed by Syracuse Research Corporation for US-EPA. The calculated log Pow for different structures of naphthenic acids ranges from 2.05 to 13.25, for smaller and larger molecules respectively (carbon number range from 6 - 30).

The most prominent group of naphthenic acids has 10 to 15 carbon numbers, for this group the logPow has a range from 3.7 to 6.0.

Description of key information

The log Pow was estimated for the various naphthenic acid anions, formed in aqueous environment, with KOWWIN version 1.68. This QSAR model is included in the EpiSuite programs developed by Syracuse Research Corporation for US-EPA. The calculated log Pow for different structures of naphthenic acids ranges from 2.05 to 13.25, for smaller and larger molecules respectively (carbon number range from 6 - 30). The most prominent group of naphthenic acids in bismuth naphthenates has 10 to 15 carbon numbers, for this group the logPow has a range from 3.7 to 6.0. A weighted average of ~ 5 is used for hazard and risk assessment.
