Study design

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
The concentration of the test substance in the test samples was determined immediately after preparation (t=0) and after 5 days. The samples taken at t=5 days were cooled to room temperature using running tap water. The samples were diluted by a factor of 2.5 with buffer pH 4, 7 or 9 and analysed.
Buffers:
- pH: 4
- Type and final molarity of buffer: Acetate buffer, 0.1 M
- Composition of buffer: solution of 16.6% 0.1 M sodium acetate and 83.4% 0.1 M acetic acid. The buffer contains 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.

- pH: 7
- Type and final molarity of buffer: Phosphate buffer, 0.1 M
- Composition of buffer: solution of 0.1 M potassium dihydrogenphosphate adjusted to pH 7 using 10 N sodium hydroxide. The buffer contains
0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.

- pH: 9
- Type and final molarity of buffer: Borate buffer, 0.1 M
- Composition of buffer: solution of 0.1 M boric acid and 0.1 M potassium chloride adjusted to pH 9 using 10 N sodium hydroxide. The buffer
contains 0.0009% (w/v) sodium azide.
Details on test conditions:
Preliminary test - Tier 1:

Test substance solutions were prepared in the buffer solutions at a target concentration of 1000 mg/l. Each solution was filter-sterilised through a 0.2 μm FP 30/0.2 CA-S filter (Whatman, Dassel, Germany) and transferred into a sterile vessel. To exclude oxygen, nitrogen gas was purged through the solution for 5 minutes. For each sampling time, duplicate sterile vessels under vacuum were filled with 6 ml test solution and placed in the dark in a temperature controlled environment at 49.9°C +/- 0.2°C.

Blank buffer solutions were treated similarly as the test samples and analysed at t=0.

The pH of each of the test solutions (except for the blanks) was determined at each sampling time.

Number of replicates:
2 measurements at each pH (separate vessels)

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
At pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9, a degree of hydrolysis of < 10% was observed after 5 days. It demonstrated that the half-life time of the test substance at 25°C is > 1 year. According to the guideline, no further tests were required.

No test substance was detected in blank buffer solutions.
Test performance:
The mean recoveries of the buffer solutions fell within the criterion range of 90-110%. It demonstrated that the analytical method was adequate to support the hydrolysis study on the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The preliminary test (Tier 1) was performed for the determination of the rate of hydrolysis of E-C104 at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4-9).

At each pH value a degree of hydrolysis of < 10% was observed after 5 days. According to the guideline, performance of the main study (Tier 2) was not required. The half-life time of the test substance at 25°C was > 1 year at each pH tested.
