The UV/VIS spectra of the substance were measured in buffers (pH= 2, 7 and 12). No spectral change was observed. The substance can be considered as a neutral molecule in these pH ranges.

Conclusions:
Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione can be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2 -10, which is of relevance for biological systems.
Executive summary:

The estimation of the acid-base properties are based on the chemical structure und measurements of UV-spectra. The UV/VIS spectra of the test item were measured in buffers (pH 2, 7 and 12). No spectral change was observed in the pH-range 2-12 and though Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione can be considered as a neutral molecule in environmentally relevant pH-ranges.

Description of key information

Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione can be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2 -10.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No spectral change was observed in the pH-range 2-12 and though Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione can be considered as a neutral molecule in environmentally relevant pH-ranges.
