- Estimation Program Interface EPI-Suite version 4.11: KOCWIN (v2.00) for the estimation of the organic carbon-normalized sorption coefficient for soil and sediment (Koc).

- Conclusions:
- The QSAR determination of the carbon partition coefficient using the model KOCWIN included in the Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite v4.11 revealed values of 220.3 L/kg (logKow method) and 2644 L/kg (MCI method) for the unaffected molecule as any decomposition (e.g. hydrolysis) is not taken into account by the program.
- Executive summary:
The organic carbon partition coefficient (Koc) was predicted using the QSAR calculation of the Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite v 4.11. The Koc was estimated to be 220.3 L/kg (logKow method), and 2644 L/kg (MCI method). The results relate to the unaffected molecule of PDI as any decomposition (e.g. hydrolysis) of PDI is not taken into account by the program.
Reference
Validity of the model:
1. Defined Endpoint: Organic carbon partition coefficient, given as logarithmic Koc and Koc
2. Unambigous algorithm: The molecule is first classified as a Non-polar substance. The number of times of the fragments that occurs in the structure of the substance applied by the program is verified. For estimation of logKoc according to the logKow method the estimated logKow of 2.7 as calculated by the program was used.
3. Applicable domain: With a molecular weight of 154.2 g/mole the substance is within the range of the training set (32 - 665 g/mole) as well as in the validation set (27 - 991 g/mole). Regarding the structure of PDI, the fragment descriptors found by the program are complete.
4a. Statistical characteristics (MCI method): N training set without corrections = 69; N training set with correction = 447; N validation set = 158; Correction coefficient of the total training set without corrections r² = 0.967; Correlation coefficient of the total training set with corrections r² = 0.900; Correlation coefficient of the total validation set r² = 0.850.
4b.Statistical characteristics (Kow method): N training set without corrections = 68; N training set with correction = 447; N validation set = 150; Correction coefficient of the total training set without corrections r² = 0.877; Correlation coefficient of the total training set with corrections r² = 0.855; Correlation coefficient of the total validation set r² = 0.778.
5. Mechanistic interpretation: Log Koc is estimated based on the likeliness of a substance for sorption to surfaces of soil/sediment particles. The log Koc is a physical inherent property used extensively to describe a chemical's likeliness to adsob to organic carbon.
6. Adequacy of prediction:
The result falls within the applicability domain described above and the estimation rules applied for the substance appear appropriate.
Description of key information
The QSAR determination of the carbon partition coefficient for PDI using the model KOCWIN included in the Estimation Program Interface (EPI) Suite v4.11 revealed values of 220.3 L/kg (logKow method) and 2644 L/kg (MCI method) for the unaffected molecule of PDI as any decomposition (e.g. hydrolysis) of PDI is not taken into account by the program (Allmendinger, 2016).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Koc at 20 °C:
- 2 644
Additional information
The calculated value is only of theoretical interest as the substance hydrolyses quickly with a half-life of <5 minutes at 20°C.
