Endpoint:

Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
from 2005-04-07 to 2005-04-13
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Justification for type of information:
As the adsorption of the test item could not be determined experimentally, the Koc was estimated using PCKOW method from EpiSuite and reported in the final study report.
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method C.19 (Estimation of the Adsorption Coefficient (KOC) on Soil and Sewage Sludge Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC))
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Estimation of KOC was performed using specialist chemical estimation software.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
No determination was possible using the HPLC screening method, according to EU Method C.19 for the following reasons:
i) As the test material was found to hydrolyse rapidly, it was considered that it would react with the mobile phase (containing 45% water) used.
ii) At the specified pH range for testing (approximately 5.5 to 7.5), the test material was estimated to be cationic (pKa calculated to be 7.4, but shown by method development to be ionised up to approximately pH 10). Cationic species are known to interact with the column used via ionic interactions with the silanol groups present on the stationary phase.

Therefore, a calculated estimate of KOC wa performed using specialist chemical estimation software (PCKOC for Windows version 1.66 © US Environmental Protection Agency).
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
other: calculation
Radiolabelling:
no
Computational methods:
A calculated estimate of KOC was performed using specialist chemical estimation software (PCKOC for Windows version 1.66 © US Environmental Protection Agency). The accuracy of the software in its ability to assess the adsorption coefficient of reference compounds containing functional groups present in the test material (including tertiary amines and heterocyclic rings) were compared to available literature values.

Executive summary:

No determination of adsorption coefficient was possible using the HPLC Screening method according to EU Method C.19 as the test material was expected to hydrolyse rapidly within the mobile phase (containing 45 % water) used. Furthermore, at the specified pH range for testing (approximately 5.5 to 7.5), the test material was estimated to be cationic and thus, is expected to interact with the column used via ionic interactions on the silanol groups present on the stationary phase.

Therefore, a calculated estimate of KOC was performed using specialist chemical estimation software (PCKOC for Windows version 1.66 © US Environmental Protection Agency).

The adsorption coefficient was estimated to be 1411 (log Koc = 3.15).

However, due to the rapid hydrolysis of the test material and the fact that it would most likely be ionised in the environmental pH range, the actual uptake into soil may differ from that indicated by this result.

Using KOCWIN v2.00 the log Koc of the test item was calculated to be 1237 L/kg at 25 °C (EPI Suite, 2014).

The adequacy of a prediction depends on the following conditions:

a) the (Q)SAR model is scientifically valid: the scientific validity is established according to the OECD principles for (Q)SAR validation;

b) the (Q)SAR model is applicable to the query chemical: a (Q)SAR is applicable if the query chemical falls within the defined applicability domain of the model;

c) the (Q)SAR result is reliable: a valid (Q)SAR that is applied to a chemical falling within its applicability domain provides a reliable result;

d) the (Q)SAR model is relevant for the regulatory purpose.

 

For assessment and justification of these 4 requirements the QMRF and QPRF files were developed and attached to this study record.

Additional information

No determination of adsorption coefficient was possible using the HPLC Screening method according to EU Method C.19 as the test material was expected to hydrolyse rapidly within the mobile phase (containing 45 % water) used. Furthermore, at the specified pH range for testing (approximately 5.5 to 7.5), the test material was estimated to be cationic and thus, is expected to interact with the column used via ionic interactions on the silanol groups present on the stationary phase. Therefore, a calculated estimate of KOC was performed using specialist chemical estimation software (PCKOC for Windows version 1.66 © US Environmental Protection Agency).

The adsorption coefficient was estimated to be 1411 (log Koc = 3.15). However, due to the rapid hydrolysis of the test material and the fact that it would most likely be ionised in the environmental pH range, the actual uptake into soil may differ from that indicated by this result.

Additionally, an estimation of the Koc was performed with current QSAR models using the Kow method and the MCI method. Using the Kow Method, the Koc was estimated to be 1237 L/kg. Using the MCI method the Koc was estimated to be 1484 L/kg. For both methods, the test item is in the applicability domain, threfore, the predictions are considered as valid. For further risk assessment the Koc value of 1484 L/kg was used.
