Results and discussion

Partition coefficient

Key result

Type:

log Pow

Partition coefficient:

< 0.3

Temp.:

25 °C

pH:

ca. 4

Details on results:

Due to the nature of the substance which is an UVCB (substances of Unknown or Variable composition, Complex reaction products or Biological materials), a peak is measured between 1.44 and 1.82 minutes.
All measurements were lower than the retention time of the reference substance with the lowest partition coefficient (0.3) i.e. 2-butanone. So, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item is stated as lower than 0.3

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

According to OECD method No. 117 and EU A.24, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water (Log Pow) of the test item is stated as lower than 0.3

Executive summary:

A non-GLP study was conducted according to OECD 117 and EU. A.24 to determine the partition coefficient of the test item.

The study was performed using an HPLC/RI detector with a C18 column.

Seven reference items with different retention times and uracil, for the determination of the dead time, were used to establish a calibration curve.

This calibration curve, log k versus log Pow, was obtained from the known Log Pow values (between 0.3 and 4) of the reference items as reported in the OECD117/EU-method A.24 and the capacity factor k, calculated from the retention time of the respective reference items and uracil. The calibration curve was validated considering the correlation coefficient higher than 0.9. All measurements showed that the substance was eluted at a retention time lower than the retention time of the reference substance with the lowest partition coefficient (0.3), i.e. 2-butanone. So, according to the OECD method 117/EU A.24, the partition coefficient n-octanol/water of the test item was stated as lower than 0.3.
