Details on results:
- Calculation Method
Pow Calculation
The Pow of the test item was calculated to be 9.1 x 10^8 (log Pow 9.0) using the Rekker calculation method.
pKa Values
No pKa values for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test item in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

- HPLC Method
UPLC-UV chromatograms of the test item solution and corresponding blank are shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 (attached), respectively. In the chromatogram of the test solution, one major peak and several small test item peaks were observed.
The results of the HPLC method are given in the Table 8. Figure 6 (attached) shows the calibration curve of the log k’ of the reference substances as function of log Pow. The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.333 x log Pow – 0.831 (r = 0.994, n = 12).
