Calculation method

Calculation of the Pow

The Pow of the test substance was calculated to be 12.9 (log Pow 1.11) using the Rekker calculation method.

Calculation of the pKa

The following pKavalues in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 for acidic and basic groups in the molecular structure of the test substance were calculated using the Perrin calculation method:

acidic: none

basic:

RC6H4NH3+ : pKa 3.10

RC6H4NH3+ : pKa 2.18

 

HPLC Method

In the chromatogram of the test solution, one major peak and several small test substance peaks were observed.

 

The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.660 x log Pow– 0.365 (r = 0.9998, n = 12).
