- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the estimation method according to OECD guideline 107 and EU method A.8, in compliance with GLP. The partition coefficient was calculated as the quotient of the n-octanol solubility and the water solubility. Three aliquots between 1.99 and 2.21 g of test substance were weighed into glass vessels and to each vessel, 2 mL n-octanol was added. The solutions were stirred at 20.3 ± 0.5°C for 24, 48 or 72 hours. As the blank, 2 mL n-octanol was stirred for 72 hours. After the stirring period, the n-octanol phases were two-times centrifuged at 16421g and 20°C for 5 minutes. Volumes of 50 μL of the n-octanol phases were accurately weighed into volumetric flasks of 50 mL and the flasks were filled up to the mark with methanol. Thereafter, the solutions were further diluted to obtain concentrations within the calibration range. The end solution was 85/15% (v/v) methanol/mobile phase B. Under the conditions of the study, the partition coefficient (Pow values) of the test substance was determined to be 1.01, 1.03 and 567 at 20°C. This corresponds to log Pow values of 0.004, 0.01 and 2.75 based on solubility in water, in buffer solutions and on critical micelle concentration, respectively (Brekelmans, 2012).
Reference
The n-octanol solubility of the test substance as the sum of the solubilities of each component was 459 g/L (determined at 20.3 ± 0.5°C). According to information supplied by the sponsor, the solubility of the test substance in distilled water was 455 g/L (determined at 20.0°C), the solubility in buffer solutions was 444 g/L (determined at 20.1 ± 0.1°C) and the critical micelle concentration was 0.81 g/L (determined at 19.7 ± 0.1°C).
