Details on study design: HPLC method:
EQUIPMENT
- Apparatus: Acquity UPLC system (Waters, Milford, MA, USA)
- Type, material and dimension of analytical (guard) column: Acquity UPLC HSS Cyano, 100 mm x 2.1 mm i.d., dp = 1.8 µm (Waters)
- Detection system: Acquity UPLC TUV detector (Waters), 210 nm; Xevo TQ-S mass spectrometer (Waters), m/z 409.1 → m/z 110.7.

MOBILE PHASES
- Type: 55% methanol (Solvent A); 45% buffer pH 7 (Solvent B)
- pH: 7

DETERMINATION OF DEAD TIME
- Method: By inert substances which are not retained by the column

REFERENCE SUBSTANCES
- Identity: Acetanilide (99.8%); Monuron (99.9%); Naphthalene (99.5%); Fenthion (97.5%); Phenanthrene (98.1%); 4,4’-DDT (98.7%)

DETERMINATION OF RETENTION TIMES
- Quantity of test substance introduced in the column: A 1000 mg/L stock solution of the test item was prepared in methanol. The solution was ultrasonicated for 60 minutes. The stock solution was 10000 fold diluted with 55/45 (v/v) methanol/buffer pH 7. The final concentration of the test item solution was 0.1 mg/L.The test item blank solution was 55/45 (v/v) methanol/buffer pH 7.
- Quantity of reference substances: Stock solutions of the reference substances at concentrations of approximately 1 g/L in methanol were used. The stock solutions were diluted to obtain an end solution of 55/45 (v/v) methanol/buffer pH 7. The blank solution for the mixture of reference substances was 55/45 (v/v) methanol/buffer pH 7.
- Injection volume: 5 µL

REPETITIONS
- Number of determinations: Reference substances and test item were injected in duplicate, blank solutions were analysed by single injection

EVALUATION
- Calculation of capacity factors k': Solutions of reference substances with known log Koc values based on soil adsorption data and the test item were analyzed. The capacity factor (k') of each compound was calculated from its retention time.
- Determination of the log Koc value: The log k’ values of the references substances were plotted against the known log Koc values. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The coefficient of correlation (r) was calculated. The log Koc value for the test item was calculated by substituting its mean log k’ in the calibration curve. The value of log Koc obtained from duplicate measurements was within +- 0.25 log units.

Executive summary:

Volic (2018) is a GLP-compliant study following OECD guideline 121, HPLC method. The study is reliable without restrictions (Klimisch 1) as it followed a standard method that is suitable for the test item. The Koc of the test item was determined using an LC-UV and LC-MS/MS system, by comparison with reference substances with known Koc values. The test item is a UVCB, but in the chromatogram of the test solution one major peak was observed. The log Koc of the test item was 2.67 (99% peak area) and >5.63 (1% peak area).

Description of key information

The log Koc values for the test item were determined to be 2.67 (peak 1, 99%) and >5.63 (peak 2, 1%).
