  Calculation Method

PowCalculation

The Powof the test item was calculated to be 6.8 x10-1(log Pow-0.17) using the Rekker calculation method.

pKaValues

The pKavalues in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test item were calculated using the Perrin calculation method. The results are given in Table 7.

 Preliminary Test

The content of test item dissolved in the n-octanol sample was 0.881 g/L.

 Shake Flask Method

The results of the shake flask method are given inTable 8 and Table 9.

The analyzed concentration of the stock solution was 3.70 g/L. Based on this the nominal quantity of the test item in the test samples was 7.41 mg. The recoveries were determined according to this value.

The log Powvalues were within the criterion range of ± 0.3 log units. The Powand log Powof the test item is given as the mean value of all measurements.

No test item was detected in the pretreated samples from the blank mixture. 

The pH of the blank samples was both pH 7.0.

Conclusions:
The shake flask method at pH 7 was applied for the determination of the partition coefficient (Pow) of Octopamine hydrochloride.
The Pow value of the test item was 2.5 x 10-3. It corresponds with a log Pow value of -2.6.
