CALCULATION METHOD
- Pow Calculation: The Pow of the test material was calculated to be 1.1 x 10² (log Pow 2.0) using the Rekker calculation method.
- pKa Values: No pKa values for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test material in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

HPLC METHOD
In the chromatogram of the test solution, one major test material peak was observed.
The results of the HPLC method are provided below. The calibration curve of the log k’ of the reference substances as function of log Pow is attached.
The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.367 x log Pow – 0.924 (r = 0.993, n = 12).
