Principles of method if other than guideline:

Testing was not possible according to Method 112 of the DECO Guidelines for Testing of chemicals, 12 May 1981 since the test item contained multiple overlapping dissociation constants. Therefore, estimation of the dissociation constants was made by relevant computer-based estimation software.

The estimation was performed using Advanced Chemistry Development I-Lab Web Service (ACD I-Lab 2.0).

The test item was considered to be a complex mixture. The dissociation constants for the main constituent have been estimated. Dissociation constant estimations were as follows:

Functional Group	Dissociation Constant
P-OH groups (systematic ionisation of the first and then second hydroxyl group on each of the four phosphate groups)	6.31 ± 0.3 6.31 ± 0.3 5.77 ± 0.3 5.77 ± 0.3 0.88 ± 0.14 0.87 ± 0.14 0.42 ± 0.14 0.42 ± 0.14
Tertiary amine group	9.85 ± 0.5 9.76 ± 0.5

Conclusions:

No determination was possible according to Method 112 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 12 May 1981, due the presenceof overlapping dissociation constants. Estimates of dissociation constants were obtained using computer based estimation software, ACD/I-Lab v2.0. The following dissociation constants were obtained.



Functional Group Dissociation Constant
P-OH groups
(systematic ionisation of the first
and then second hydroxyl group
on each of the four phosphate groups) 6.31 ± 0.3
6.31 ± 0.3

0.87 ± 0.14
0.42 ± 0.14
0.42 ± 0.14

Tertiary amine group 9.85 ± 0.5
9.76 ± 0.5

Executive summary:

No determination was possible according to Method 112 of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, 12 May 1981, due the presence of overlapping dissociation constants. Estimates of dissociation constants were obtained using computer based estimation software, ACD/I-Lab v2.0. The following dissociation constants were obtained.

Functional Group	Dissociation Constant
P-OH groups (systematic ionisation of the first and then second hydroxyl group on each of the four phosphate groups)	6.31 ± 0.3 6.31 ± 0.3 5.77 ± 0.3 5.77 ± 0.3 0.88 ± 0.14 0.87 ± 0.14 0.42 ± 0.14 0.42 ± 0.14
Tertiary amine group	9.85 ± 0.5 9.76 ± 0.5

From these results, it can be determined that the test item would always be ionised at environmentally relevant pH's.

Executive summary:

(Q)SAR –  The Acid Dissociation Constant (pKa) of the test item was estimated using a procedure designed to be compatible with ECHA's Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals (May 2008).

SMILES notations were derived for the non-salified form of each identified constituent.  The SMILES notation for a constituent was entered into the pKa module of SPARC Automated Reasoning Calculator (v6.0) and the model was run.  This was repeated systematically for each ionisation site (hydroxy groups and tertiary amines) on a given constituent. Each identified constituent was assessed to see if they fell within the model’s applicability domain.  It was concluded that the (non-salified form) each constituent was within the domain of SPARC.  As such the results of these estimations can be considered to be reliable given the limits of the model.

A pKa range of 2.19 - 7.93 was predicted for hydroxy groups and a pKa range of 1.97 - 2.45 was predicted for tertiary amine groups (both predictions are made at 20 ℃).  These values were predicted for non-salified forms of test item constituents due to limitations of the model.

Description of key information

Acid Dissociation Constant (pKa): pKa = 2.19 - 7.93 (hydroxy groups, at 20 ℃) and pKa = 1.97 - 2.45 (tertiary amines, at 20 ℃); ECHA's Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals (May 2008)

Additional information

Two sets of predictive data are presented in relation to the acid dissociation constant of the test item.

(Q)SAR (SPARC) –  The Acid Dissociation Constant (pKa) of the test item was estimated using a procedure designed to be compatible with ECHA's Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals (May 2008).

SMILES notations were derived for the non-salified form of each identified constituent.  The SMILES notation for a constituent was entered into the pKa module of SPARC Automated Reasoning Calculator (v6.0) and the model was run.  This was repeated systematically for each ionisation site (hydroxy groups and tertiary amines) on a given constituent. Each identified constituent was assessed to see if they fell within the model’s applicability domain.  It was concluded that the (non-salified form) each constituent was within the domain of SPARC.  As such the results of these estimations can be considered to be reliable given the limits of the model.

A pKa range of 2.19 - 7.93 was predicted for hydroxy groups and a pKa range of 1.97 - 2.45 was predicted for tertiary amine groups (both predictions are made at 20 ℃).  These values were predicted for non-salified forms of test item constituents due to limitations of the model.

(Q)SAR (ACD I-Lab 2.0) –  The Acid Dissociation Constant (pKa) of the test item was initially predicted using Advanced Chemistry Development I-Lab Web Service (ACD I-Lab 2.0) as part of a previous submission.  Subsequently this prediction has been disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies.  Insufficient supporting information was reported for this prediction.

OECD 112 –  Determination of the Acid Dissociation Constant (pKa) of the test item was deemed to be not experimentally determinable due to multiple overlapping dissociation constants.
