Principles of method if other than guideline:

This program (WSKOWWIN) estimates the water solubility (WSol) of an organic compound using the compounds log octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow).  WSKOWWIN requires only a chemical structure to estimate Wsol.  Structures are entered into WSKOWWIN through SMILES (Simplified Molecular Input Line Entry System) notations.  Users unfamiliar with SMILES notations can consult the document "A Brief Description of SMILES Notation".  Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry numbers may be used to enter SMILES notations automatically through use of a supplemental database containing SMILES for 108,000+ compounds.

 The estimation methodology used by WSKOWWIN (Meylan and Howard, 1994a,b) is described in the following document prepared for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (OPPT): Upgrade of PCGEMS Water Solubility Estimation Method (May 1994).  A companion document (Validation of Water Solubility Estimation Methods Using Log Kow for Application in PCGEMS & EPI) also discusses the methodology.  
WSKOWWIN uses equations 19 and 20 from these documents because they are the best available equations for estimating Wsol.


Equation 19 is:  log S (mol/L) = 0.796 - 0.854 log Kow - 0.00728 MW + Corrections

Equation 20 is:  log S (mol/L) = 0.693 - 0.96 log Kow - 0.0092(Tm-25) - 0.00314 MW + Corrections

(where MW is molecular weight, Tm is melting point (MP) in deg C [used only for solids]) ... Corrections are applied to 15 structure types (eg. alcohols, acids, selected phenols, nitros, amines, alkyl pyridines, amino acids, PAHS, multi-nitrogen types, etc); application and magnitude depends on available MP.  Equation 20 is used when a measured MP is available; otherwise, equation 19 is used. These equations were derived from a dataset consisting of 1450 compounds with measured log Kow, water sol, and MP. Eq 20 has the following statistical accuracy: correlation coefficient (r2) = 0.97, standard deviation = 0.409 log units, and absolute mean error = 0.313 log units.  Application to a validation dataset of 817 compounds gave the following statistical accuracy: correlation coefficient (r2) = 0.902, standard deviation = 0.615 log units, and absolute mean error = 0.480 log units.

Additional information

The water solubility of bis(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl) peroxide was determined at a temperature of 20°C and based on OECD guideline 105. The data on water solubility represent the saturation mass concentration of the test substance in water. Since the substance is insoluble the detection limit of the analysis was determined. The water solubility of Bis(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl) peroxide is less than 2 µg/L, the detection limit.

The water solubility was then estimated using 3 software packages, ACD Labs, WSKOW and WaterNT. The results were as follows:

ACDLabs v11.02: 0.38 mg/L

WATERNT (v1.01): 1.0569 mg/L

WSKOW v1.42): 0.02993 mg/L

The lowest value of 0.02993 mg/L was used for risk assessment
