Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of test substance was determined as per the shake flask method (OECD Guideline-107). The log Pow value was determined to be -2.227 ± 0.391 at 25 0C temperature.
Executive summary:

The Partition coefficient (Pow) of test chemical at 25°C was estimated according to the OECD Guideline No. 107,”Shake Flask Method”.In this method the different volumes of a stock solution (n-octanol pre saturated with water) were shaken with different volume of water pre saturated with n-octanol. After centrifugation, both the aqueous phase and octanol phase were analysed by HPLC. The partition coefficient were calculated, from the measured concentration of test chemical in the organic and aqueous phases.The log Pow value was determined to be -2.227± 0.391at 250C temperature.

By considering this log Pow value it can be concluded that test chemical is hydrophilic in nature and it is also supported by high water solubility of test chemical in water.
