- TIER 1 RESULTS
The test substance was very hydrolytically unstable and disintegrated quickly within 24 hours of incubation at 50 °C. The degradation of the test substance was very fast at pH 4 buffer system (t1/2 = < 30 min) and in pH 7 buffer system (t1/2 = 52 min) as well in comparison to pH 9 borate buffer (t1/2 = 1240min). The recoveries observed for extracts of the different pH values and hydrolysis periods were always < 10 % of the initial concentration.
TIER 2 RESULTS
The recoveries observed for extracts of pH 4 collected at test start and after a hydrolysis period of 120 min were <10 % of the initial concentration of the test substance. The hydrolytic degradation followed a first order kinetic with r2 = 0.9919. The half-life time observed was about 13 minutes and rate constant was about 0.0534 per minute. The recoveries observed for extracts of pH 7 collected at time-0 and after a hydrolysis period of 1620 min were <10 % of the initial concentration of the test substance. Within 10 min of hydrolysis approx. 55% of the analyte was degraded. The degradation of the test substance does not fit with first order kinetic (r2 = 0.6428). The recoveries observed for extracts of pH 9 collected after a hydrolysis period of 4 days indicated the degradation of approx. 53%. However, at day 7, reoccurrence of the test substance was observed. This increase in the concentration of the test substance after 7 days might be inferred as the analyte formed complex with boron present in pH 9 borate buffer. Thus, the kinetic of degradation was calculated until day 4 indicating 1st order of degradation (r2 = 0.989). The half-life time observed was about 3.5 days, and the rate constant was about 0.195 per day. - Validity criteria fulfilled:

Additional information
The hydrolytic stability of the test substance was studied in aqueous solutions buffered to pH values of 4, 7 or 9 and incubated at temperatures of 50°C (Tier 1) and 20 °C (Tier 2) in accordance with OECD TG 111 and in compliance with GLP-criteria (EAG Inc., 2018). The nominal concentration of the test substance in the hydrolysis media was 0.4 mg/L, which is below its water solubility of 0.634 mg/L. Test solutions were incubated under sterile conditions, in darkness. Aliquots of the hydrolysis samples were collected, diluted and immediately analysed by LC-MS/MS. At each pH, samples were analysed at test initiation and regularly throughout the test up to 6 hours for pH 4, 27 hours for pH 7 and 15 days for pH 9. Final recoveries of the test substance were in almost all cases < 10%. Only for pH 9 extracts at 20 °C, the recovery was about 47% after 4 days; after 7 days, reoccurence of the test substance was observed due to complexing with boron present in the borate buffer. The rate of hydrolysis was dependent upon pH, with increasing hydrolysis rate at lower pH values (and higher temperature). At pH 9, the test substance was most stable with a half-life of approximately 3.6 days at 20 °C (after 4 days). Half-lives at pH 7 and 4 were determined to be 54 and 13 minutes, respectively, at 20 °C.
