Sterile aqueous solutions buffered at pH 4, 7 and 9.
The pH of each buffer solution was measured with a calibrated pH meter.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:

Samples were incubated at three different pH-values and at one temperature. The test was carried out for 5 days. During incubation the concentration of the test item remained stable at each tested pH-value of 4, 7 and 9. Recoveries (mean) were in the range of 97.0-100.2% of the applied concentration. Thus the test item can be stated as hydrolytically stable. The main test (Tier 2) was not performed.

Validity of the Study
Accuracy of the Applied Concentration: Immediately after application (0 h) recoveries of the samples were as follows:
Replicate A: 124.3-124.9% of the nominal applied concentration.
Replicate B: 104.7-105.7% of the nominal applied concentration.
Recoveries of the applied concentration were considered acceptable for replicate B. In case of replicate A, values were out of the desired range. However, determinations of the hydrolysis properties were feasible with the prepared samples. For result evaluation, values refer to the applied concentration after application (mean of 0 h).
Validity of Sample Preparation and Analysis
Specificity: Specificity was confirmed.
Limit of Detection (LOD) and Limit of Quantification (LOQ): LOD: 0.02 mg/L
LOQ: 5 mg/L
Linearity: The correlation coefficient (r) was at least 0.9995
Interference: No interference was observed
Accuracy and Precision:
50 mg/L (100% Level)
Mean recoveries (n=5) were 105.0% (pH 4), 105.6% (pH 7) and 105.6% (pH 9) with RSD of 0.5% (pH 4), 0.8% (pH 7) and 0.8% (pH 9).
5 mg/L (10% Level)
Mean recoveries (n=5) were 105.1% (pH 4), 105.6% (pH 7) and 105.3% (pH 9) with RSD of 0.6% (pH 4), 0.3% (pH 7) and 0.8% (pH 9).

During incubation the concentration of the test item remained stable at each tested pH-value of 4, 7 and 9. Recoveries (mean) were in the range of 97.0-100.2% of the applied concentration.

Summary and Conclusion
The present study investigated the hydrolytic behaviour of 4-Amino-5-Methylpyridon in aqueous solutions buffered at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 50°C. Samples were incubated in the dark. The test was carried out for 5 days. At the end of incubation, 97.0-97.9% of the applied concentration were found and thus the test item can be stated as hydrolytically stable (t0.5 > 1 year at 25°C).
