*) from ketone mixture


tR (n+1) = -0.723 + 1.636 * tR (n)


Dead time: t0 = -0.723/(1-1.636) = 1.14 min


calibration line: log Pow = 2.268 + 2.775 logk'


determination of logk' of the test substance is 0.14 (retention time: 2.72)


Partition coefficient: log POW = 2.268 + 2.775 * 0.14 = 2.66


95 % confidence interval: 2.44 - 2 87


 


Validity criteria for the measurement of the partition coefficient:

























Target condition according to guideline:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
In order to correlate the measured HPLC data of a compound with its P value, a calibration graph of log P vs. chromatographic data using at least 6 reference points has to be established. A calibration graph with six reference points is available.Yes
Whenever possible, at least one reference compound should have a Pow above that of the test substance, and another a Pow below that of the test substance.

LogPow of the test substance = 2.66


LogPows of reference compounds = 0.3 - 6.2


Yes
HPLC method: the result of the preliminary estimation should be stated.The result of the preliminary estimation is stated.Yes

 

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient of test substance was determined with, log Pow = 2.66.
