Acetanilide: 0.10 mL
Naphthalene: 0.02 mL
1,2,3-Trichlorobenzene: 0.25 mL
Phenanthrene: 0.20 mL

(Test item: 10.0 mL)

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: 2

EVALUATION
The capacity factors for each reference compound present in the mixed test item solutions
were calculated as follows:
k' = (tR - t0) / t0

Where k’ = capacity factor
tR = retention time of reference compound (min)
t0 = dead time of column (retention time of Formamide, min)
Log10 k’ was then calculated for each reference compound.
Following chromatography, a correlation graph was produced by plotting the Log10 k’ value versus the Log10 Koc value, for each compound. Literature Log10 Koc values were obtained from OECD Guideline 121.
A Log10 Koc value for the test item was then extrapolated from the correlation graph.

Details on results (HPLC method):
A typical chromatogram obtained from the mixed reference compound solution containing Formamide (un-retained compound) and six adsorption coefficient reference compounds was performed. Another chromatogram was obtained from each mixed test item solution containing Formamide (un-retained compound), six adsorption coefficient reference compounds and EXP0700332. A chromatogram for a blank injection of mobile phase was also performed.
The capacity factors (k’) for each reference compound present in the mixed test item solutions were calculated and used to determine the Log10 k’ for each reference compound.
Following chromatography, a correlation graph was produced by plotting the Log10 k’ value versus the Log10 Koc value, for each compound. Literature Log10 Koc values were obtained from OECD Guideline 121.
A Log10 Koc value for the test item was then extrapolated from the correlation graph.
The following correlation coefficients were obtained for each graph as follows:
Mixed Test Item Solution A: 0.9465
Mixed Test Item Solution B: 0.9468
No peaks were observed in the chromatogram in which the samples were injected. The test item was retained and eluted in later chromatograms. The adsorption coefficients for each test item solution were therefore calculated to be:
Replicate A Log10 Koc >10.03
Replicate B Log10 Koc >10.05
The adsorption coefficient of duplicate determinations of EXP0700332 test item was therefore determined to be as follows:
Log10 Koc of EXP0700332 >10.04 (retention time greater than 45 minutes run time)
Koc of EXP0700332 >1.10 x 10^10
Alternatively, the adsorption coefficient may be expressed as being greater than that of 4,4’-DDT, the latest eluting reference standard used. Since 4,4’-DDT has a theoretical adsorption coefficient of 5.63, it may be stated that for EXP0700332:
Log10 Koc >5.63
Koc >4.27 x 10^5
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
During testing it was observed that these hydrocarbon structures did not elute from a cyanopropyl solid phase HPLC column during the 45 minute run time. The adsorption coefficient of duplicate determinations of EXP0700332 test item was therefore determined to be as follows:
Log10 Koc of EXP0700332 >10.04 (retention time greater than 45 minutes run time)
Koc of EXP0700332 >1.10 x 10^10
Alternatively, the adsorption coefficient may be expressed as being greater than that of 4,4’-DDT, the latest eluting reference standard used. Since 4,4’-DDT has a theoretical adsorption coefficient of 5.63, it may be stated that for EXP0700332:
Log10 Koc >5.63
Koc >4.27 x 10^5
Executive summary:

The registrant is currently undertaking registration studies with the test item EXP0700332, and have requested Charles River determine the adsorption coefficient. This study meets the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for the testing of chemicals, OECD 121. A summary of the findings is presented below:

During testing it was observed that these hydrocarbon structures did not elute from a cyanopropyl solid phase HPLC column during the 45 minute run time. The adsorption coefficient of duplicate determinations of EXP0700332 test item was therefore determined to be as follows:

Log10 Koc of EXP0700332 >10.04 (retention time greater than 45 minutes run time)

Koc of EXP0700332 >1.10 x 1010

Alternatively, the adsorption coefficient may be expressed as being greater than that of 4,4’-DDT, the latest eluting reference standard used. Since 4,4’-DDT has a theoretical adsorption coefficient of 5.63, it may be stated that for EXP0700332:

Log10 Koc >5.63

Koc >4.27 x 105
