Calculation of the partition coefficient log Pow

The program KOWWIN (part of EPI Suite) was used for calculating the log Pow of the test item. The calculated value was 1.2. Therefore, according to the guidelines the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item at room temperature was determined by the HPLC-method.

HPLC method

The test item consists of the two following isomers: cis-isomer (95 %) and trans-isomer (5 %). Therefore, the test item showed two HPLC signals with different retention times.

In the water solubility test the percentages of the two isomers in the present batch of the test item were determined by analysing the area% of the two isomers in the HPLC chromatograms of 5 different standard solutions (twofold injection) and by the calculation of the mean values. According to this area% HPLC analysis the cis- and trans- isomer of the present batch of the test item wereassigned to: cis-isomer (92.7 %) Peak 2 and trans-isomer (7.3 %) Peak 1.

Conclusions:

The test item consists of cis- and trans-isomer. The log Pow of the cis-isomer was determined to be 1.1 at 25 °C. The log Pow of the trans-isomer was determined to be <0.3 at 25 °C and extrapolated to be -0.1, as it was below the calibration curve.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted in accordance with OECD TG 117 and Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 method A.8 to determine the partition coefficient of the test substance using the HPLC method. After equilibration of the HPLC system, the calibration mixture was injected first, followed by the test chemical solution, the calibration mixture again and a second injection of the test item. The test item consists of the two following isomers: cis-isomer (95 %) and trans-isomer (5 %). Therefore, the test item showed two HPLC signals with different retention times. The log Pow of the cis-isomer was determined to be 1.1 at 25 °C. The log Pow of the trans-isomer was determined to be <0.3 at 25 °C and extrapolated to be -0.1, as it was below the calibration curve.
