Preliminary Test
The water solubility of the test item was estimated to be 1114 g/L in a preliminary test.
Calibration
The calibration solutions were prepared in 0.5 – 50 μg/mL range. The calibration samples were analysed by HPLC-UV method with three replicate injections from each. The concentration of the test item was calculated with the help of the calibration equation.

Conclusions:

The water solubility of the test item was determined to be 987 ± 37.6 g/L (95% confidence interval) at 20 °C ± 0.5 °C using the shake-flask method. The result is also applicable for the water free form of the test item.

Executive summary:

The water solubility was determined according to OECD 105, Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 method A.6 and OPPTS 830.7840 using the shake flask method with HPLC analysis. About 80 mg test item were weighed into 100 mL stoppered Erlenmeyer flasks (nine parallels) according to the estimated solubility based on the Preliminary Test. After the addition of 25 mL ultra-pure water, the flasks were agitated at 30 °C. After one day, three of the vessels were removed and re-equilibrated at 20 °C for 24 hours. The content of the vessel was then centrifuged at 20 °C and the concentration in the clear aqueous phase was determined by HPLC. The other flasks were treated similarly after initial equilibration at 30 °C for two and three days, respectively. The samples were diluted before the analysis (two parallel dilutions). The pH of each sample was recorded. The water solubility of the test substance was determined to be 987 ± 37.6 g/L (95 % confidence interval) at 20 °C ± 1 °C (pH <0). The result is also applicable for the water free form of the test item.
