Study design

HPLC method

Details on study design: HPLC method:

The principle of the test method is similar to that of the OECD Test Guideline 117: "Partition coefficient (n-octanol/ water) high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method" (adopted March 30, 1989). While passing through the column along with the mobile phase the test substance interacts with the stationary phase. As a result of partitioning between mobile and stationary phases, the test substance is retarded. The dual composition of a cyanopropyl stationary phase, having polar and non-polar sites allows for interaction of polar and non-polar groups of a molecule in a similar way as is the case for organic matter in soil or sewage sludge matrices. This enables the relationship between the retention time on the column and the Koc on organic matter to be established.

Since the test substance did not dissolve in the recommended solvent for this test or any other solvent, it was not possible to determine the Koc and log Koc value of the test substance using the HPLC method. Alternatively, the values were determined by QSAR calculations.

Batch equilibrium or other method

Computational methods:

Since it was not possible to determine the Koc and log Koc values of the test substance using the HPLC method, the QSAR calculation method was applied. Based on the water solubility of the test substance (< 2.30 x 10-4 g/l; see section 4.8) and its structural formula, the compound was classified as “predominantly hydrophobic”. For this chemical class, the log Koc is given as: logKoc = 0.81 x logPow + 0.10

Results and discussion

Adsorption coefficient

Type:

log Koc

Value:

6.14

Any other information on results incl. tables

The logarithm of the partition coefficient (log P_ow) of one component of the test substance (i.e. the single string fatty acid amide using a modified structural formula) was calculated to be 7.46. Using this value, the K_oc of this component of the test substance is calculated to be 1.38 x 10⁶ and the corresponding log K_oc = 6.14.

Considering that the alkyl chains in the modified structural formula were much shorter than in the original structure (C₁₀ instead of C₄₀), the real values for log P_owand log K_oc for the monomer are expected to be even higher. 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The Koc of one component of the test substance is calculated to be 1.38 x 10^6 with the corresponding log Koc = 6.14, as the HPLC method could not be used.
