The octanol-water partition coefficient of organic compounds is estimated starting from the chemical structure, which is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups). Coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate.

Log Pow: 4.5 to > 10 (QSAR models: VEGA / ALogP version 1.0.0; EPI Suite / KOWWIN version 1.68, SPARC v4.6)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Overall results

 

For the two evaluated components of the substance, the Log Pow values as estimated by the VEGA / ALogP, EPI Suite / KOWWIN and SPARC models are reported. When relevant, the two most similar substances identified by VEGA are also included (using their CAS number), together with their similarity degree with the target component, experimental Log Pow values and the predictions obtained by the VEGA models.

Discussion

The applicability domain (AD) evaluation performed by the VEGA software suggests that both target molecules may be out of the models’ applicability domain; the main reason relates to the low degree of similarity of the two most similar molecules identified in the models’ dataset.

The applicability domain compliance with the EPI Suite / KOWWIN model has also been checked. On the basis of the molecular weight range and the maximum number of occurrence of the fragments used for the calculation, as defined by the model’s training set, both evaluated molecules follow within the applicability domain of the model.

Finally, the SPARC physical property models have been designed and parameterized to be applicable to any organic chemical structure. The octanol-water partition coefficient model validation, performed on a dataset of 623 non-polar and polar organic molecules, proved that the model can be used to provide reliable estimations. It is however not possible to perform a clear evaluation of the model’s applicability domain.

Based on the Log Pow values (as obtained by the models), the structures and the substance composition, the influence of the monoster component on the Log Pow of the substance is more crucial. A Log Pow of ca. 4.8 can be estimated for this component, supported by the good performance of VEGA/ALogP and EPI Suite/KOWWIN models on the similar substances; a much higher Log Pow (> 10) can be estimated for the diester.

 

Conclusion

Considering the results obtained for the target components and, when available, the similar substances, a Log Pow range from 4.5 to >10 can be considered as a reasonable estimation for the whole substance.
