Calculation Method
- Pow Calculation: The Pow of the test material was calculated to be 1.1 x 10^3 (log Pow 3.0) using the Rekker calculation method.
- pKa Values: No pKa values for basic and acidic groups in the molecular structure of the test material in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

HPLC Method
- In the chromatogram of the test solution, one major peak and a smaller test material peak were observed.
- The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.335 x log Pow – 0.829 (r = 0.995, n = 16).

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the log Pow of the main component of the test material was 3.9.
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 117, EU Method A.24 and OPPTS 830.7570, under GLP conditions.

The Pow of the test material was calculated to be 1.1 x 10^3 (log Pow 3.0) using the Rekker calculation method. No pKa values for basic and acidic groups in the molecular structure of the test material in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

The HPLC method at neutral pH was applied for the determination of the partition coefficient (Pow) of the test material. The Pow values of the test material at neutral pH were 6.8 x10^3 (Peak 1) and 8.7 x10^3 (Peak 2) and the and log Pow values of the test material at neutral pH were 3.8 (Peak 1) and 3.9 (Peak 2).

Under the conditions of this study, the log Pow of the main component of the test material was 3.9.

Additional information

The partition coefficient of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 117, EU Method A.24 and OPPTS 830.7570, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The Pow of the test material was calculated to be 1.1 x 10^3 (log Pow 3.0) using the Rekker calculation method. No pKa values for basic and acidic groups in the molecular structure of the test material in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

The HPLC method at neutral pH was applied for the determination of the partition coefficient (Pow) of the test material. The Pow values of the test material at neutral pH were 6.8 x10^3 (Peak 1) and 8.7 x10^3 (Peak 2) and the and log Pow values of the test material at neutral pH were 3.8 (Peak 1) and 3.9 (Peak 2).

Under the conditions of this study, the log Pow of the main component of the test material was 3.9.
