Preliminary Visual Estimation of the n-octanol solubility

100 mg of the test item were stirred with different amounts of n-octanol at room temperature and visually checked for any undissolved particles.

Table: Appearance of the test mixtures

Amount of test item in mg	Volume in ml	Total volume in ml	Stirring time	Appearance of mixture
10	1	1	60 min	undissolved
10	5	5	60 min	dissolved
10	10	10	60 min	dissolved
10	50	50	60 min	dissolved

According to this preliminary test the solubility of the test item in n-octanol is above 200 mg/L (without correction of the purity).

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the preliminary tests

The partition coefficient Pow may be estimated from the saturation concentrations in n-octanol and water by the following equation:

Pow = cs octanol /cs water

s = saturation

With the data obtained from the preliminary experiments above (octanol solubility cs >2000 mg/L) and in the preliminary test (water solubility: cs = 5.14 mg/L) the partition coefficient was calculated as log POW >2.6.

Due to the fact, that the water solubility is nearly the LoQ, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water has to be estimated from the individual solubilities in water and n-octanol.

Table: Solubility of the test item –experiments A to D

Experiment	A	B	C	D (blank)
Amount of test item (mg)	500	500	500	--
Stirring time at 30 °C (h)	24	48	72	72
Aliquot of the flasks (mL)	0.05	0.05	0.05	0.05
End volume (mL)	10	10	10	10
Measured concentration (μg/mL)	12.79	12.65	13.92	--
Solubility (mg/L)	2557	2530	2785	--

Table: Concentrations of the standards for recheck:

Standard	Measured concentration (μg/mL)	% Recovery
Standard 2 (c = 5.35 μg/mL)	5.38	100.6
Standard 3 (c = 10.7 μg/mL)	10.85	101.4
Standard 4 (c = 21.4 μg/mL)	21.2	99.1

Recovery range from 99.1 % to 101.4 % indicates a sufficient accuracy of the analytical method.

Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow from the individual solubilities

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in n-octanol was determined to: 2785 mg/L.

By means of the flask method, the saturation concentration of the test item in water was determined to: 5.14 mg/L.

Conclusions:

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item at 20 °C, from the individual solubility in water and n-octanol, was determined to be 2.73 (log Pow).

Executive summary:

The partition coefficient n-octanol/water of FAT 36014/Z at 20 °C was determined using shake flask method as described in OECD Guideline 107. According to the shake flask method, the solubility of FAT 36014/Z in n-octanol is 2785 mg/L. The water solubility of FAT 21030/E was determined to be 5.14 mg/L. Hence, the partition coefficient (log Pow) was calculated to be 2.73.
