Justification for type of information:
This endpoint study record is part of a Weight of Evidence approach. QSAR may be used in estimating the LogKow of the organic part, the oxalate and allows to fulfil the information requirements as further explained in the provided endpoint summary.
QSAR INFORMATIONS : Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) are theoretical models that can be used to predict in a qualitative or quantitative manner the physico-chemical, toxicological, ecotoxicological and environmental fate properties of compounds from a knowledge of their chemical structure.

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL :
SMILES of the substance: O=C(C(=O)O[Na])O[Na]

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
According to the guidance R.7a - version 5 - December 2016, "When no experimental data of high quality are available, or if experimental methods are known to be unreliable, valid (Q)SARs for log Kow may be used e.g. in a weight-of-evidence approach."
No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Defined endpoint: Partition coefficient
- Methodology : KOWWIN uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict log P. In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate. KOWWIN’s methodology is known as an Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method. Coefficients for individual fragments and groups were derived by multiple regression of 2447 reliably measured log P values.
KOWWIN’s "reductionist" fragment constant methodology (i.e. derivation via multiple regression) differs from the "constructionist" fragment constant methodology of Hansch and Leo (1979) that is a vailable in the CLOGP Program (Daylight, 1995). See the Meylan and Howard (1995) journal article for a more complete description of KOWWIN’s methodology.
To estimate log P, KOWWIN initially separates a molecule into distinct atom/fragments. In general, each non-hydrogen atom (e.g. carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, etc.) in a structure is a "core" for a fragment; the exact fragment is determined by what is connected to the atom. Several functional groups are treated as core "atoms"; these include carbonyl (C=O), thiocarbonyl (C=S), nitro (-NO2), nitrate (ONO2), cyano (-C/N), and isothiocyanate (-N=C=S). Connections to each core "atom" are either general or specific; specific connections take precedence over general connections.
5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Descriptor domain: organic chemical QSAR may be used in estimating the LogKow of the organic part (but not applicable to the ion pair).
- Structural and mechanistic domains:
Training Set Molecular Weights: Minimum MW: 18.02 Maximum MW: 719.92 Average MW: 199.98
Appendix D of the KOWWIN Help gives the maximum number of fragments that occur in any individual compound of the training set.
- Similarity with analogues in the training set: The KOWWIN training and validation datasets can be downloaded from the Internet at http://esc.syrres.com/interkow/KowwinData.htm

Description of key information

QSAR prediction with a good reliability predicted that disodium oxalate has a logKow :

  • -7.00 with Kowwin
  • -0.855 with OPERA

All these data indicates that diodium oxalate has a low partitient coefficient.

The OPERA value is retained as this QSAR confirmed to be in the applicability domain.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-0.855
