Description of key information

GLP study according to EU Testing Guideline A.6 (column elution method).
Analytical Development Physical Chemistry, Schering AG Berlin. Study report No. A04561 (ADP 2001_113), dated 2001-07-12.
Result: S approx. 3.5 mg/L at 20°C (below LOQ)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The water solubility of androstanolone at 20°C was determined using the column elution method, which is based on the elution of the test substance with water from a micro column which is filled with an inert support material (quartz), previously charged with the test substance. The water is continuously circulated through the column until saturation equilibrium is reached as indicated by a practically constant concentration of androstanolone. The concentration was monitored by HPLC analysis in samples drawn during the course of equilibration time.

The water solubility at 20°C was found between the limit of detection (2.3 mg/L) and the limit of quantitation (8.4 mg/L) of the HPLC method to be approx. 3.5 mg/L.

Androstanolone can be considered as insoluble in water in accordance with the descriptive term of EP 3rd ed. and USP 24.

The pH value of the saturated water solutions was determined to be 5.4.
