experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

24.2.-3.3.2012

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Comparable guideline study, tested with the source substance Ethyl centralite. According to the ECHA guidance “Practical guide 6" the reliability was changed to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Guideline:

EU Method C.7 (Degradation: Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)

Deviations:

no

yes

Analytical monitoring:

yes

Details on sampling:

- Sample storage conditions before analysis: The volumetric flasks were placed in the thermostatic bath kept at a certain temperature. The body of each flask was wrapped in an aluminium foil and tightly closed with a stopper. At certain period of time, a portion of sample solution was transferred into a vial followed by a quick cooling to room temperature.

Buffers:

Buffered solutions were prepared in accordance with the Method C.7 – Degradation – Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH, Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Appendix 3: Buffer Systems – Clark and Lubs:
- Buffer pH 4.0 - pH 3.97 (22.4°C)
- Buffer pH 7.0 - pH 7.12 (22.4°C)
- Buffer pH 9.0 - pH 8.96 (22.4°C)

Details on test conditions:

TEST SYSTEM
- Type, material and volume of test flasks, other equipment used: volumetric flask, the body of each flask was wrapped in an aluminium foil and tightly closed
- Sterilisation method: all glassware, reagent-grade water and buffer solutions were sterilised by autoclave (121°C, 50 min)

TEST MEDIUM
- Kind and purity of water: deionized water

CALIBRATION SOLUTION
– Approx. 500 mg of test substance was dissolved and diluted with MeOH into a 100mL volumetric flask (CSS). This stock solution was diluted to 2 concentrations.
– Calibration Stock Solution 1 (CSS I): 10mL of CSS was pipetted into 100mL volumetric flask and the flask was filled up to the volume with MeOH.
– Calibration Stock Solution 2 (CSS II): 2mL of CSS was pipetted into 100mL volumetric flask and the flask was filled up to the volume with MeOH.
The stock solutions CSS I and CSS II were diluted with appropriate solvent to 5 more concentrations of calibration solutions.

TEST CONDITIONS
- pH, sterility, temperature, and other experimental conditions maintained throughout the study: Yes

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Conclusions:

The preliminary test has shown that the test substance was rather stable at any of given pH of buffered solutions, i.e. 4.0, 7.1, and 9.0, during the whole period of 5 days.
The test substance is considered hydrolytically stable (t0.5, 25°C > 1 year) therefore no additional testing (Tier 2, Tier 3) is required.

Executive summary:

The procedure was performed according to Method C.7 – Degradation – Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH, Council regulation (EC) No 440/2008. Published in OJ No L 142/518 May 2008.

The preliminary test has shown that the test substance was rather stable at any of given pH of buffered solutions, i.e. 4.0, 7.1, and 9.0, during the whole period of 5 days.

The test substance is considered hydrolytically stable (t0.5, 25°C > 1 year) therefore no additional testing (Tier 2, Tier 3) is required.
