Study design

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Sampling intervals for the parent/transformation products: After approx. 12 hrs. of incubation at 50 °C the for each buffer and each test substance 2 samples were taken out of the incubator and were worked up to get the initial value. The same was done with 2 samples after 8 days of storage at 50°C counting from the time the initial samples were taken. Four more samples were stored and kept in reserve.
- Sampling intervals/times for pH measurements: see above
- Sampling intervals/times for sterility check: At the start time of the test (initial value) and after 8 days of storage at 50 °C samples in each buffer were taken to check the sterility of the test solutions.

Buffers:

pH4(0.01mol) = 2.10g C6H8O7x1H2O/1IH2O; adjusted to pH4 (NaOH in H2O)
pH7(0.01mol) = 3.58g Na2HPO4x12H2O/1IH2O; adjusted to pH7 (H3PO4 in H2O)
pH9(0.01mol) = 3.81g Na2B4O7x10H20/1IH2O; adjusted to pH9 (H3PO4 in H2O)

yes

Conclusions:

CIT is hydrolytically stable.

Executive summary:

The hydrolysis of CIT was performed according to the OECD Guidelines No. 111 in 0.01 mol aqueous buffer solutions adjusted to pH 4, 7 and 9. CIT was found to be stable at 50 °C in buffered solutions at pH 4, 7 and 9 corresponding to a half-life of greater than 1 year at 25 °C.
