Results of the experimental determination of the partition coefficient with the HPLC method, at pH 7.0:
The temperature during the procedure was 35 °C.
The actual pH value of the mobile phase during the test was 7.0.
The equation of the linear regression for the reference substances was:
log (capacity factor) = 0.6277 x log (Pow) – 0.3522.
The results of the individual determinations of the decadic logarithm of the partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance were 1.67 and 1.67. The mean decadic logarithm of the partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance is 1.67.
The values of log P derived from the individual measurements fall within a range of ± 0.1 log units.
