Endpoint:
vapour pressure
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
October 26, 2020
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
The Scentaurus berry molecule is very big And heavy. The vapour pressure was suspected to be very low, and even impractical to measure. As such, two independent QSAR models were employed to estimate the VP at 20 °C and 25 °C.
These models are MPBPWIN (v1.43) in the EPISuite (v4.11) QSAR model, and, also SpARC.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The Scentaurus berry molecule is large and the vapour pressure was suspected to be very low, and even impractical to measure. As such, two independent QSAR models were employed to estimate the VP at 20 °C and 25 °C.
These models are MPBPWIN (v1.43) in the EPISuite (v4.11) QSAR model, and, also SpARC.

Remarks on result:
other: MPBPWIN v1.43 module of the US Environmental Protection Agency EPI Suite (v4.11)

Under the MPBPWIN v1 .43 module of the US Environmental Protection Agency EPI Suite (v4.1), the vapour pressure results were as follows:

Vapour pressure (20°C) = 2.52 x10^-10 Pa

Vapour pressure (25°C) = 7.07 x10^-10 Pa

Vapour pressure (50°C) = 7.36 x10^-8 Pa

 

The ARChem SPARC calculator uses a series of mathematical and computational models described in detailed in S.H. Hilal et al. 2003, and was used to calculate the vapor pressure of Scentaurus Berry at the same three temperatures, the results are as follows:

Vapour pressure (20°C) = 1.50 x10^-10 Pa

Vapour pressure (25°C) = 5.30 x10^-10 Pa

Vapour pressure (50°C) = 2.08 x10^-8 Pa

 

Experimental methods for the determination of the vapour pressure outlined in the OECD guideline 104 cover vapour pressures in the range of 10^-10 Pa to 10^5 Pa, and can therefore not be employed for Scentaurus Berry (GR-87-0307) to a sufficient level of accuracy. As recommended by the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R. 7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Version 6.0, July 2017 for this case, the following limit values based on the highest of the two QSAR calculations were retained:

Vapour pressure (20°C) <= 2.52 x10^-10 Pa

Vapour pressure (25°C) <= 7.07 x10^-10 Pa

Vapour pressure (50°C) <= 7.36 x10^-8 Pa

Conclusions:
Experimental methods for the determination of the vapour pressure outlined in the OECD guideline 104 cover vapour pressures in the range of 10^-10 Pa to 10^5 Pa, and can therefore not be employed for Scentaurus Berry (GR-87-0307) to a sufficient level of accuracy. As recommended by the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R. 7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Version 6.0, July 2017 for this case, the following limit values based on the highest of the two QSAR calculations were retained:
Vapour pressure (20°C) <= 2.52 x10^-10 Pa
Vapour pressure (25°C) <= 7.07 x10^-10 Pa
Vapour pressure (50°C) <= 7.36 x10^-8 Pa
Executive summary:

Experimental methods for the determination of the vapour pressure outlined in the OECD guideline 104 cover vapour pressures in the range of 10^-10 Pa to 10^5 Pa, and can therefore not be employed for Scentaurus Berry (GR-87-0307) to a sufficient level of accuracy.

Description of key information

Experimental methods for the determination of the vapour pressure outlined in the OECD guideline 104 cover vapour pressures in the range of 10^-10 Pa to 10^5 Pa, and can therefore not be employed for Scentaurus Berry (GR-87-0307) to a sufficient level of accuracy. As recommended by the Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R. 7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Version 6.0, July 2017 for this case, the following limit values based on the highest of the two QSAR calculations were retained (MPBPWIN v1.43 module of EPISuite (v4.11)), for which the predictions were in good agreement with the ARChem SPARC model:


Vapour pressure (20°C) <= 2.52 x10^-10 Pa


Vapour pressure (25°C) <= 7.07 x10^-10 Pa
