KOCWIN is not underpinned by chemical or biological mechanisms. The model uses two separate methodologies, Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) and Log Kow methodology.

MCI methodology:

Two separate linear regressions were performed. The first regression related log Koc of non-polar compounds to the first-order MCI in the absence of correction factors. The second regression related log Koc of polar compounds and included correction factors. The regression coefficients were derived via multiple linear regression of the correction descriptors to the residual error of the prediction from the non-polar equation.

Log Kow methodology:

Separate equations correlating log Koc with log Kow were derived for nonpolar and polar compounds, as with the MCI methodology a set of regressions were performed for non-polar and polar compounds. Effectively, the log Kow methodology replaces the MCI descriptor with log Kow and derives similar equations.  

Applicability Domain:

Both the MCI and Log Kow methodologies have a low degree of error within the limits of the training set when you examine the coefficient of determination and the standard deviation.  Both N,N,N',N'-tetrabutylmethylenediamine and dibutylamine fall within of the domain of the training set.  

As such the results of these estimations can be considered to be reliable given the limits of the test set.

Conclusions:

The adsorption/desorption coefficient (Log Koc) of the constituent dibutylamine was estimated to be 2.4303 (Log Kow method). The substance is therefore considered to have medium mobility in soil in accordance with the McCall (1981) classification scheme.

Executive summary:

QSAR Prediction. – The adsorption/desorption coefficient of the test item constituent dibutylamine was predicted using KOCWIN v2.00; integrated within the Estimation Programme Interface (EPI) Suite programme for Microsoft Windows v4.11.  In accordance with ECHA’s Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance (Version 6.0 – July 2017), Section R.7.1.15.4, it is suitable to use an QSAR value to fulfil this endpoint under certain circumstances.

 

Two predictions were performed using the Log K_ow method and the MCI method.  In both instances the constituent dibutylamine was within the molecular weight domain of the models training set, furthermore surface activity was ruled out following structural assessment.  The accuracy of the prediction was refined using predicted Log K_ow values derived using iSafeRat® – Version 1.8.

 

The adsorption/desorption coefficient of the test item constituent dibutylamine was estimated to be 2.4303 (Log K_ow method). The substance is therefore considered to have medium mobility in soil in accordance with the McCall (1981) classification scheme.

Additional information

QSAR Predictions – The adsorption/desorption coefficient of the test item constituents N,N,N',N'-tetrabutylmethylenediamine and dibutylamine were predicted using KOCWIN v2.00; integrated within the Estimation Programme Interface (EPI) Suite programme for Microsoft Windows v4.11.  In accordance with ECHA’s Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint Specific Guidance (Version 6.0 – July 2017), Section R.7.1.15.4, it is suitable to use an QSAR value to fulfil this endpoint under certain circumstances.

 

Two predictions were performed on each constituent using the Log K_owmethod and the MCI method.  In all instances the constituents were within the molecular weight domain of the models training set, furthermore surface activity was ruled out following structural assessment.  The accuracy of the prediction was refined using predicted Log K_owvalues derived using iSafeRat® – Version 1.8.

 

The adsorption/desorption coefficient of the test item constituents were estimated to be:

• N,N,N',N'-tetrabutylmethylenediamine = 3.9472 (Log K_owmethod) (immobile (1981))


• dibutylamine = 2.4303 (Log K_owmethod) (medium mobility; McCall (1981))
