- The model applies the following methodology to generate predictions:
WSKOWWIN: physical-property correlation QSAR; based on multiple linear-regression modelling
- The model and the training and validation sets are published by US Environmental Protection Agency (USA).
The experimental Water Solubility values in the training set and validation set were measured using one or more methods equivalent or similar to the following guidelines:
- Flask or column elution methods (OECD TG 105)
- Slow Stirring methods (modified OECD TG 105) according to methods similar to those described by Letinksi and coworkers: Slow-stir water solubility measurements of selected alcohols and diesters”, Chemosphere, 48, 257 – 265 (2000).
Plus relevant EU and US EPA OPPTS methods may be also used where appropriate.
A full list of experimental Log Kow reference citations is provided in the WSKOWWIN help menu with additional reference citations.
- Justification of QSAR prediction: The result should be considered in relation to corresponding information presented and in accordance with the tonnage driven information requirements of REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 in a weight of evidence.
Specifically the substance is presented to assess the solubility of known constituents of the multi-constituent substance using the n-octanol/water partition coefficient data as an input parameter that yields results by expert judgement that are consistent with the weight of evidence. That substance consists of constituents in the slightly soluble (1 – 100 mg/L) to moderately soluble (100-1000 mg/L) range. Hydrolysis products are in the moderately soluble to miscible (> 1000 mg/L) range.

It is noted by the applicant there is no universally acknowledged applicability domain for the model. However, assessment of the substance within the applicability domains recommended by the developers is documented within the corresponding QMRF named ‘WSKOWWIN v1.42 and parallel model WATERNT v1.01: Water Solubility’ version 1.0; date: 01 April 2018 – section 5; indicates the substance (constituents):

(i) All constituents fall within the Molecular Weight range domain

(> 27.03 AND < 627.62 g/mol)

(ii) All constituents fall within the Log Kow range domain

(> -3.89 AND < 8.27)

(iiI) All constituents fall within the Water Solubility range domain

(> 0.0000004 mg/L – to miscible)

(iv) The substance has functional groups for which there are no functional groups for which a correction factor was developed. Specifically, assessment of the WSKOWWIN training and validation sets indicates that the test item constituent substances have functional groups or features (epoxide) for which no fragment constants and correction factors are available. However, expert assessment of US EPA (1994), Title: Upgrade of the PCGEMS Water Solubility Method (document: SRC-TR-94_009) indicates there are several or more epoxides present in the model training set used to derive the regression equation. There is additionally ether substances in the training set and validation sets. This means that the constituents should be considered ‘in domain’. No constituents contain multiple fragment instances than the maximum of the training set (see QMRF title section 9.3 and US EPA (1994), document: SRC-TR-94_009, for more information which is available through the model help-system file by reference to an internet address where the documents may be downloaded).

(v) There is no overt mechanistic basis for the model. The WSKOWWIN model is based on the thermodynamic relationship between surrogate physicochemical properties (Log Kow and MP), chemical structure and their chemical activity (Water Solubility). Including within this specific model correlation between physico-chemistry and the measured water solubility along with sub-structure correction factors.

See QPRF section 3.3 and QMRF sections 5.1 and 9.3 for more information.

The model can be used to extrapolate on substances out of domain, by expert judgement with additional caution.

 

3. Uncertainty of the prediction and mechanistic domain:

The training set of the model has the following statistics and coefficients of determination:

Total Training Set Statistics: number in dataset (MW only) = 1450 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.934 ; standard deviation = 0.585 ; average deviation = 0.442

Total Training Set Statistics: number in dataset (MW and MW) = 1450 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.970 ; standard deviation = 0.409 ; average deviation = 0.313

The model has been externally validated. The relevant coefficients of determination for the external validation set of (i) 85 substances (Log Kow measured) and (ii) 817 (MP measured, no measured Log Kow) and the following statistics and coefficients of determination are presented:

Total Validation Set Statistics (i) 85 substances: number in dataset = 85 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.865 ; standard deviation = 0.961 ; average deviation = 0.714

Total Validation Set Statistics (ii) 817substances: ; number in dataset = 817 ; correlation coef (r2) = 0.902 ; standard deviation = 0.615 ; average deviation = 0.480

Data for the training set are available via external validation (see attached QMRF prepared by the applicant for full citations).

There is no overt mechanistic basis for the model. The WSKOWWIN model is based on the thermodynamic relationship between surrogate physicochemical properties (Log Kow and MP), chemical structure and their chemical activity (Water Solubility). Including within this specific model correlation between physico-chemistry and the measured water solubility along with sub-structure correction factors. In order to improve the model additional substances could be added to the model training set with further measured experimental Log Kow and MP data. Additional substances not presently represented with substructure corrections could be introduced. Whilst there appears to be no direct analogues within the training set the model has been has been validated externally (using > 800) substances with a correlation coefficient (r2) = 0.902. The model is non-proprietary and the training sets and validation sets can be downloaded from the internet. A summary of this information is presented by the applicant.

Conclusions:

The results are adequate for the for the regulatory purpose.
