Conclusions:
log Pow: 3.67 ± 0.003 (95 % confidence interval), at 25 °C
Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the partition coefficient of test item using HPLC method. The method and procedures implemented were in accordance with the OECD guideline 117. Three calibration series and three test item series were measured alternately. The partition coefficient Pow was determined based on a calibration curve using seven reference items. The capacity factors (k) were calculated from the dead time and retention times of the reference substances. The log k data of the reference substances were plotted against their log Pow values.

The Pow has been determined to be 4624 ± 30.9 (95 % confidence interval) and the log Pow 3.67 ± 0.003 (95 % confidence interval).

Quality criteria were met as values of log Pow derived from individual measurements fell within a range of 0.1 log units.

Conclusion

log Pow: 3.67 ± 0.003 (95 % confidence interval), at 25 °C
