Executive summary:

The isothermal thermogravimetric effusion method.was applied for the determination of the vapour pressure of L-Histidine Hydrochloride Monohydrate (HHM). The study was conducted accoring to EC Guideline A.4. Vapour Pressure, OECD Guideline104.  Vapour Pressure, and EPA Product Properties Test Guideline OPPTS 830.7950: Vapor pressure. The test item contains crystal water.  In the preliminary test there was a weight loss observed from about 160°C.  This weight loss was considered deriving from the loss of crystal water.  As the crystal water was a part of the chemical structure of L-Histidine Hydrochloride Monohydrate (HHM), its loss was considered degradation of the test item.  Weight losses at temperatures > 150°C were, therefore, not included in the determination of the vapour pressure.  Another weight loss was observed from approximately 250°C.  This was considered due to degradation of the test item, too.  A representative weight loss curve of the test item was in the range of 110°C - 130°C.   In the range of 110°C, 120°C and 130°C a log p versus 1/T curve for the test item could not be determined since the coefficient of correlation (r) was < 0.99. This is most likely due to the start of reaction and/or decomposition of the test item.  Since no accurate vapour pressure could be calculated from the obtained results the weight losses of the test item were compared with the results of hexachlorobenzene at the same temperatures.  Since the weight loss of the test item was lower than the weight loss of the reference compound, the vapour pressure of the test item is considered to be below the vapour pressure of hexachlorobenzene.

Vapour Pressure of the Test Item at 20°C = < 1.5 x 10^-3 [Pa], < 1.1 x 10^-5 [mm Hg]

Vapour Pressure of the Test Item at 25°C = < 4.0  x 10^-3 [Pa], < 3.0 x 10^-5 [mm Hg]
