Details on sampling:

- Sampling method: About 40 mg of the test substance were dissolved in 2 mL solubilizer (acetone, acetonitrile and ethanol) and filled up to 100 mL with the respective buffer solution (pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0). Each mixture was ultrasonified and submitted to a 0.2 μm filtration. To obtain a test solution of not more than half the water solubility, one part of the solution was diluted with one part of the respective buffer.

Buffers:

- pH: 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0

Details on test conditions:

None stated

Number of replicates:

None stated

Positive controls:

not specified

Negative controls:

not specified

Statistical methods:

None stated

Preliminary study:

The solubility of the test substance in the buffer solutions pH 4, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0 is very low, therefore a test with different solubilizer was performed to increase the solubility of the test substance.

It was not possible to increase the solubility of the test item with the use of different solubilizers. Peaks obtained, if any, were too small to allow quantification or even to follow a degradation curve.

According to the EEC Directive 92/69 Section C.7, the method is applicable only to water soluble substances. The test item shows no significant solubility in the different solvent systems. Therefore, no further testing could be performed on the substance at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9.

Conclusions:

In an OECD 111 study conducted to GLP, the solubility of the test item in the buffer solutions pH 4.0, pH 7.0 and pH 9.0 was very low. It was not possible to increase the solubility of the test substance with the use of different solubilizers (acetone, acetonitrile and ethanol). Peaks obtained, if any, were too small to allow quantification or even to follow a degradation curve.

According to the EEC Directive 92/69 Section C.7, the method is applicable only to water soluble substances. The test item shows no significant solubility in the different solvent systems. Therefore, no further testing could be performed on the substance at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9. (RCC Ltd, 2007).
