SUPPLEMENTARY EXPERIMENT (if any): RESULTS: None

All results show a quick reaction of test substance with buffer. When using 10 ml buffer, hydrolysis rate is lower than when using 25 ml buffer. From this it is concluded that 10 ml buffer is limiting the reaction rate. When using 25 ml buffer solution pH4, pH 7, pH 9, a > 50% decrease concentration was observed after 4 minutes which demonstrates that the half-life time of the test substance is < 4 minutes at room temperature.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The half-life time of the test substance at room temperature were determined to be < 4 minutes at pH 4, 7 and 9.
According to the guideline, the test susbstance is considered hydrolytically instable and no further tests are required.
Executive summary:

The hydrolysis test was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 111. Test substance was mixed with acetate buffer pH4, phosphate buffer pH 7 and borate buffer pH 9 in a glass vessel at room temperature and protected from light. Each vessel was inverted 10 times by hand and the phases were allowed to separate. Four minutes and 1 hour after preparation, a sample was taken from the upper organic phase and analysed. Chromatograms of the pretreated samples were compared with a chromatogram of untreated test substance. All results show a quick reaction of test substance with buffer. When using 10 ml buffer, hydrolysis rate is lower than when using 25 ml buffer. From this it is concluded that 10 ml buffer is limiting the reaction rate. When using 25 ml buffer solution pH4, pH 7, pH 9, a > 50% decrease concentration was observed after 4 minutes which demonstrates that the half-life time of the test substance is < 4 minutes at room temperature. The half-life of test item at pH 4, 7 and 9 was therefore determined to be < 4 minutes.

Details on sampling:
The test substance was spiked to each of the buffer solutions at a nominal concentration of approximately 50 mg/L using a spike solution in water. for the test at pH 4, the peak areas of the test substance were determined immediately after preparation (t = 0) and at several sampling points after t = 0. The pH of the test samples was determined at the beginning and the end of the test. For the test at pH 7, the samples were prepared and placed in water baths at the end of the working day. The pH of the test samples was determined at the beginning and the end of the test.

Preliminary study:
At pH 9, a decrease in concentration < 10% was observed after 120 hours. It demonstrate that the half-life time of the substance at 25 ºC > 1 year. According to the guideline, no further tests were required. At pH 4 and pH 7, a decrease in concentration > 10% after 120 hours was observed, and the main test was required. In order to determined reaction rate at 50 ºC, additional samples were taken at t= 261, 264 and 268 hours. After 268 hours of testing at 50 ºC, the relative concentration was still above 50%.

Details on results:
At the end of the tests, concentrations became stable at 50-60% of the initial concentration. This shows that equilibrium if formed and that this is not hydrolysis. The tes substance was determined to be hydrolytically stable (i.e. half-life time of > 1 year at 35 ºC) at pH 4, 7 and 9.
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
MPKO is therefore considered hydrolytically stable (i.e. half-life time of > 1 year at 25°C) at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9.
Executive summary:

The hydrolysis test was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 111 and EU Method C.7. In all tests performed, a decrease in concentration was observed. At the end of the main tests, concentrations became stable at 50 -60% of the initial concentration. This indicates that equilibrium is formed and that this is not hydrolysis. MPKO is therefore considered hydrolytically stable (i.e. half-life time of > 1 year at 25°C) at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9.

Description of key information

The half-life time of the test substance at room temperature were determined to be < 4 minutes at pH 4, 7 and 9. A hydrolysis test was also performed on MPKO, the hydrolytic product of OS1600. MPKO was considered to be hydrolytically stable (i.e. half-life time of > 1 year at 25°C) at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9.

20 °C

Additional information

Key study: The hydrolysis test was performed in accordance with OECD Guideline 111 (GLP study). The half-life of test item at pH 4, 7 and 9 and room temperature was < 4 minutes, and therefore, the substance was determined to be hydrolytically instable.

Supporting study: The hydrolysis test was performed with the analogue substance MPKO in accordance with OECD Guideline 111 (GLP study). In all tests performed, a decrease in concentration was observed. At the end of the main tests, concentrations became stable at 50 -60% of the initial concentration. This indicates that equilibrium is formed and that this is not hydrolysis. MPKO is therefore considered hydrolytically stable (i.e. half-life time of > 1 year at 25°C) at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9.
