- yes
- Buffers:
- - pH: 7.0 and 9.0
- Composition of buffer (pH 7.0): 73.9 mL 0.2 M Sodium hydroxide and 125 mL 0.2 M Potassium dihydrogen phosphate was diluted to 500 mL with ultrapure water
- Composition of buffer (pH 9.0): 53.5 mL 0.2 M Sodium hydroxide and 125 mL 0.2 M Boric acid and Potassium chloride was diluted to 500 mL with ultrapure water
These sterile buffer solutions were prepared using reagent grade chemicals and ultrapure, sterile water.
The pH of each buffer solution was checked with a calibrated pH meter.
The hydrolysis reaction was carried out using a dark thermostat to avoid photolytic effects. Nitrogen was bubbled into the water before the preparation of the solutions in order to exclude oxygen. - Estimation method (if used):
- Estimation of test substance was performed with calibration series prepared from stock solution (~0.5 mg test substance / 1 mL acetonitrile) and working solution (10 μg/mL) with diluent. It was measured at every analytical occasions. Concentrations of the calibration samples were 0.05, 0.2, 0.5, 2, 5 and 10 μg/mL.

TEST MEDIUM
- The buffer solutions used were sterile and prepared using reagent grade chemicals and ultrapure, sterile water.
- Preparation of test medium: 250 mL sterile solutions were prepared (~80 μg/mL of test item concentration in pH 7 buffer and ~130 μg/mL of test substance concentration in pH 9 buffer). The solutions were ultrasonicated and filtered on 0.22 μm filter. Solutions were transferred into screw cap tubes. Five from each test solution and two control tubes were prepared from each pH buffer.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- The pH of each buffer solution was checked with a calibrated pH meter
PERFORMANCE OF THE TEST
250 mL sterile solutions were prepared (~80 μg/mL of test item concentration in pH 7 buffer and ~130 μg/mL of test item concentration in pH 9 buffer). The solutions were ultrasonicated and filtered on 0.22 μm filter. The pH of each buffer solution was checked with a calibrated pH meter.
Solutions were transferred into screw cap tubes. Five from each test solution and two control tubes were prepared from each pH buffer. The tubes were thermostated at 49.5 – 50.4°C.
The reaction solutions were analysed at the start of the test with three replicate samples and one control after five days with three replicate samples and one control per tubes and per pH. The 5-day samples were cooled to room temperature after 5-minutes ultrasonic water bath. Samples for the start and for the end were diluted with diluent (Acetonitrile : water = 1 : 1) 50 fold, then they were analysed with the above presented HPLC-UV method. The control samples were analysed directly, without any dilution. - Duration:

- Executive summary:
A preliminary study was conducted to evaluate the hydrolysis of the test substance PBBA, according to OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH). Triplicates of sterile aqueous buffer solutions of test substance were incubated in the dark for 5 d at pH 7 and 9 (temp. 50 ± 0.5°C). Testing at pH 4 was not possible to conduct due to high insolubility of the test substance in the buffer solutions. Concentration of the test substance was determined at the start and at the end of incubation period using HPLC-UV method. The observed hydrolysis of test substance was less than 10% after 5 d at 50 ± 0.5°C and pH 7 and 9. Under the study conditions of the preliminary study, test substance was considered to be hydrolytically stable (Kovács, 2019).
