Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not specified
Conclusions:
The half life of hydrolytic degradation for BDP in 25 °C is greater than 1 year at environmental pH 4-9.
Executive summary:

Hydrolytic degradation of the compound was studied as a function of pH (Hogg A S, 1997) by incubating stoppered flasks containing (nominally) 0.25 mg/L in buffer solutions at pH 4, 7 and 9 for 5 days. The concentration of the compound in the solutions was determined using HPLC at various times over the 5 day (120 hour) test period. Very little degradation was observed in any of the buffers over the 5 day test period, with the maximum loss of 5% of initial concentration observed in the pH 9 buffer. These data indicate that the phosphate ester linkages within the molecules are stable to hydrolysis at 50°C. The small extent of observed degradation extrapolated to 25 °C indicates a half life of greater than 1 year at environmental pH 4-9.
