Linear regression (based on means ofstandard runs A and B): log10 Pow =2.46 log10 k + 1.87

Conclusions:
A value of log10Pow for DPGDB of 3.9 was obtained (equivalent Pow 7.1^03)
Executive summary:

A package of testing including a determination of partition coefficient was conducted to determine certain physico-chemical properties of the test material DPGDB. The determination of the partition coefficient (octanol-water partition coefficient, log10Pow) was performed according to OECD and EC test guidelines, and in compliance with GLP.

A value of log10Powfor DPGDB of 3.9 was determined by the HPLC method. The corresponding Pow value was 7.1 x 103.

Additional information

The determination of the log10Pow of DPGDB has been determined by two different experimental methods, OECD 107 and 117. The HPLC method (OECD 117) resulted in a log Pow value of 3.9, while a traditional shake-flask method (OECD 107) with analyses by HPLC produced a result of 4.3. The OECD 107 study was performed prior to it being known that DPGDB had surface active properties (Huntingdon Life Sciences study VCL0417); the guideline specifically states that it is unsuitable for surface active substances. An estimation of the log Pow was also conducted using QSAR (KOWWIN v.1.67) and resulted in a value of 3.88. Based upon the weight of evidence of similar results from the HPLC method and the QSAR (3.9 and 3.88) the log Pow value of 3.9 from the HPLC method has been utilized in the chemical safety report and the OECD 107 study was disregarded.
