Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The log Pow of the substance at neutral pH and 20°C was determined to be 1.7 (Pow = 54).


Executive summary:

The partition coefficient (n-octanol/water) of the substance was determined using the HPLC method. The study was performed in accordance with EC A.8, OECD 117 and OPPTS 830.7570 and in compliance with GLP.

Formamide was used as unretained substance. For the construction of the regression line, 6 references substances with known log Pow values (at 20°C) ranging from 0.3 to 3.4 were used.

Duplicate injections of unretained substance, reference substances and test item were made on an UPLC-UV (210 nm) system. The mobile phase was 40/60 (v/v) methanol/water. Each chromatogram of the test item showed one large (98%) and a small substance peak (1.9%).

The log Pow values for the two peaks were calculated from the regression line to be 1.7 and 1.8, resp. It is assumed that the peak at 98% is from the main constituent of the substance.

The log Pow of the substance at neutral pH and 20°C was therefore concluded to be 1.7 (Pow = 54).
