no

Principles of method if other than guideline:

In the course of the method validation the hydrolysis of the test substance was investigated.

GLP compliance:

yes (incl. QA statement)

Radiolabelling:

no

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Buffers:

No buffers were used. The test substance was dissolved in ultrapure water.

Details on test conditions:

Stock solution (1 mg/mL):
ca. 25 mg of the test item was dissolved in ultrapure water in a 25 mL volumetric flask. It was filled up to the mark with ultrapure water and thoroughly mixed.

Number of replicates:

1 replicate

Positive controls:

no

Negative controls:

no

Transformation products:

not specified

Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):

A transformation product, that has a retention time of ca. 3.15 minutes, was observed.

Key result

Temp.:

25 °C

Hydrolysis rate constant:

ca. 1 h-1

Details on results:

The test item rapidly decompose in contact with water. Decomposition is indicated by the difference of the chromatograms prepared in acetonitrile and in aqueous phases.

The chromatogram of the test substance, that was dissolved in ultra-pure water, shows a peak located at ca. 4.35 min (retention time), whereas the chromatogram of the test substance, that was dissolved in acetonitrile, shows a peak located at ca. 3.14 minutes (retention times).

Considering the time required for sample preparation and recording of the chromatograms the hydrolysis half-life of the test substance at 25 °C was estimated to be ca. 1 h (worst-case assumption).

Validity criteria fulfilled:

not specified

Conclusions:

The hydrolysis of the test substance in contact with water was investigated by HPLC-UV method. The test item rapidly decomposes in contact with water. Decomposition is indicated by the difference of the chromatograms prepared in acetonitrile and in aqueous phases.

Executive summary:

The hydrolysis of the test substance in contact with water was investigated by HPLC-UV method. The test item rapidly decomposes in contact with water. Decomposition is indicated by the difference of the chromatograms prepared in acetonitrile and in aqueous phases. The chromatogram of the test substance, that was dissolved in ultra-pure water, shows a peak located at ca. 4.35 min (retention time), whereas the chromatogram of the test substance, that was dissolved in acetonitrile, shows a peak located at ca. 3.14 minutes (retention times).

Additional information

The hydrolysis of the test substance in contact with water was investigated by HPLC-UV method. The test item rapidly decomposes in contact with water. Decomposition is indicated by the difference of the chromatograms prepared in acetonitrile and in aqueous phases. The chromatogram of the test substance, that was dissolved in ultra-pure water, shows a peak located at ca. 4.35 min (retention time), whereas the chromatogram of the test substance, that was dissolved in acetonitrile, shows a peak located at ca. 3.14 minutes (retention times).

As key value for chemical safety assessment a half-life at 25 °C was estimated to be ca. 1 h (worst-case assumption).
