- Performance of the Test
Preparation of the Test Solutions
Sample solutions were prepared in stoppered glass flasks at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L in the buffer solutions. The test solutions were split into individual vessels for each data point.
The solutions were shielded from light whilst maintained at the test temperature.
Preliminary Test / Tier 1
Sample solutions at pH 4, 7 and 9* were maintained at 50.0 ± 0.5 °C for a period of at least 48 hours.
Sample solutions at pH 9 [using the alternative, (Tris) pH 9 buffer solution] were maintained at 50.0 ± 0.5 °C for a period of 48 hours.
Tier 2
Results from the Preliminary Test / Tier 1 at pH 9 [using the (Tris) pH 9 buffer solution] showed it was necessary to undertake further testing at pH 9 [using the (Tris) pH 9 buffer solution].
Calculation
The response factors of the standard peak areas (unit peak area per mg/L) were calculated using the following equation:
RF = Rstd / Cstd
where:
RF = response factor for the standard solution
RSTD = peak area for the standard solution
CSTD = concentration for the standard solution (mg/L)
Calculation of the Degree of Hydrolysis
The decrease in concentration (preliminary test) or the degree of hydrolysis was calculated using the formula:
Degree of hydrolysis in % = [ (C0 - Ct) / C0 ] • 100
where:
C0 = concentration of time 0
Ct = concentration of time t
Testing the Reaction for Pseudo First Order
The general rate expression for a first order reaction is:
d(c) / dt = - k • c
or in the integrated form
-1n (C0 / Ct) = -k • t
or
ln ct = (-k) • t – ln c0
(equation of a linear function)
Therefore, the rate constant k is the slope of a plot of ln ct versus t. The data were plotted as ln ct versus t. The linear plots prove that the hydrolysis reaction is pseudo first order. The reaction rate constant k can be calculated by regression analysis or the following equation.
-k = -(1 / t) • 1n (c0 / ct)
The half-life time was calculated from the following equation:
t½ = 0.693/k
where:
c0 = Concentration of the test solution at time 0 [µg/mL]
ct = Concentration of the test solution at time t [µg/mL]
k = First order rate constant [hours-1]
t1/2 = Half-life time [hours]
Evaluation of k at 25 °C
When the rate constants are known for two temperatures, the rate constants at other temperatures can be calculated using the Arrhenius equation:
k = A • e (-E / (R•T))
or
1n k = - (E / R) • (1 / T) + 1n A
A plot of ln k versus 1/T gives a straight line with a slope of -E/R
where:
k = Rate constant, measured at different temperatures
E = Activation energy [kJ/mol]
T = Absolute temperature [K]
R = Gas constant [8.314 J/mol K]
A = Pre-exponential factor
The half-life at 25 °C was interpolated / extrapolated directly from the graph. - Duration:

- Preliminary study:
- Overall, less than 10 % hydrolysis after 5 days at 50 °C at pH 4 and pH 7, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25 °C.
At pH 9, the extent of hydrolysis after 24 hours indicated that a further test (Tier 2) was required to estimate the rate constant and half-life at 25 °C. - Test performance:
- During the preliminary testing, it was noted that the pH 9 injections (using the borate-based buffer solution) were becoming ever-more erroneous. Therefore, it was decided to switch to a (Tris-based) pH 9 buffer solution.

- not measured

- Identification of Hydrolysis Products –Tier 3
An attempt was made to elucidate the structure of each main (m/z) ion found in a “hydrolyzed” test item solution compared to a parent test item solution using high performance liquid chromatography –mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS). Since the use of the ion-pairing reagents is not acceptable in HPLC-MS, the subsequent analysis resulted in the parent test item and the hydrolysis products essentially co-eluting. However, a review of the results, especially the m/z ions for the sample solution indicated that the hydrolysis products could not positively identified.
That said, the Tier 1 / Tier 2 sample chromatograms show that the hydrolysis products elute well before the parent test item; and therefore, must have less affinity for the tetrabutylammonium bromide ion-pair reagent. Therefore, the hydrolysis products must be less negatively charged than the parent. From this, it can be postulated that the hydrolysis products are most likely due to removal of one or both of the terminal sulphooxy- groups, with the central, diazo- group remaining essentially unaffected. This would also be the reason why the hydrolyzed solutions retained a similar, blue color compared to the non-hydrolyzed solutions. - pH:

- Details on results:
- The estimated half-lives at 25 °C of the test item are:
pH 4 at 50.0 ± 0.5 ºC: Overall, less than 10 % hydrolysis after 5 days at 50 °C, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25 °C.
pH 7 at 50.0 ± 0.5 ºC: Overall, less than 10 % hydrolysis after 5 days (24 to 144 hours) at 50 °C, equivalent to a half-life greater than 1 year at 25 °C.
pH 9 (Tris) at 50.0 ± 0.5 ºC: The extent of hydrolysis after 24 hours indicated that a further test (Tier 2) was required to estimate the rate constant and half-life at 25°C.
pH 9 Arrhenius Data: t½= 0.907 hours - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The estimated half-lives at 25 °C of the test item are:
At pH 4 the estimated half life at 25 °C was > 1 year.
At pH 7 the estimated half life at 25 °C was > 1 year.
At pH 9 the estimated half life at 25 °C was 0.907 hours (rate constant 0.764 hr-1). - Executive summary:
The test item was assessed for hydrolytic stability according to EU Method C.7 and OECD Guideline 111. Tier 2 testing began at 50 °C, with time points at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours. However, no test item was detected in the 1 hour samples onwards. Therefore, it was decided to perform Tier 2 testing at 20 °C and 30 °C only (to allow interpolation to 25 °C). As the half-life at pH 9 at 25 °C was interpolated from the Tier 2 results at 20 °C and 30 °C, it was considered that testing at a third temperature was unnecessary. The kinetics of the study has been determined to be consistent with that of a pseudo-first order reaction as the graphs of log10 concentration versus time are straight lines. No significant peaks were observed at the approximate retention time of the test item on analysis of any matrix blank solutions. The estimated half-lives at 25 °C are shown in the following table:

At pH 9 the estimated half-life at 25 °C was 0.907 hours (rate constant 0.764 hr-1).

Additional information
The test item was assessed for hydrolytic stability according to EU Method C.7 and OECD Guideline 111. Tier 2 testing began at 50 °C, with time points at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours. However, no test item was detected in the 1 hour samples onwards. Therefore, it was decided to perform Tier 2 testing at 20 °C and 30 °C only (to allow interpolation to 25 °C). As the half-life at pH 9 at 25 °C was interpolated from the Tier 2 results at 20 °C and 30 °C, it was considered that testing at a third temperature was unnecessary. The kinetics of the study has been determined to be consistent with that of a pseudo-first order reaction as the graphs of log10 concentration versus time are straight lines. No significant peaks were observed at the approximate retention time of the test item on analysis of any matrix blank solutions. The estimated half-lives at 25 °C are shown in the following table:
