Conclusions:
Log Pow was determined to be 3.74 - 5.87, with an absolute deviation of ≤ 0.02.

Executive summary:

EU Method A.8. – The partition coefficient of the test item was determined using the HPLC method.  The procedure employed was designed to be compatible with Method A.8. Partition Coefficient of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Analysis was performed using a solid phase of long hydrocarbon chains chemically bound onto silica (Luna 5µ C18(2) 100A; 250 x 3.0 mm), with a mobile phase mixture of 75 % methanol and 25 % 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7).  A PDA detector at 220 nm was used for both the test item and reference substances.  Reference items were used to determine column dead time and regression coefficients.

For the test item a mean measured partition coefficient range of log Pow = 3.74 – 5.87, with an absolute deviation of ≤ 0.02 log units at 20 °C ± 1 °C was determined.
