Buffers:
pH 4 buffer

Potassium dihydrogen citrate (23.03 g) was d issolved in distilled water (900 ml) and the pH of the solution adjusted to 4.0 with I M aq ueous sodium hydroxide at elevated temperature (50°C ± 5°C). The solution was then diluted to 1000 ml with distilled water.

pH 7 buffer

Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (13.66 g) was dissolved in distilled water (900 ml) and the pH of the solution adjusted to 7.0 with l M aqueous sodium hydroxide at elevated temperature (50°C ± 5°C). The solution was then diluted to 1000 ml with distilled water.

pH 9 buffer

Potassium chloride (7.82 g) and boric acid (6.22 g) were dissolved in distilled water (900 m l) and the pH of the solution adjusted to 9.0 with J M aqueous sodium hydroxide at elevated temperature (50°C ± 5°C). The solution was then diluted to 1000 ml with distilled water.

pH 2 buffer

Potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (2.72 g, 1.36 g and 1.45 g) was dissolved in distilled water (2 litres, 1 litre and 1 litre respectively). The solutions were adjusted to pH 2.0 with l M hydrochloric acid. These pH 2 buffer solutions were used to prepare mobile phase.
Details on test conditions:
Ni ne I00 ml volumetric flasks were calibrated at 50°C by heating I00 ml of distilled water at 20°C to 50°C in a water bath. The flasks were then marked at their new level.

Prior to the test, the recalibrated vol umetric flasks were rinsed with ethanol and allowed to drip dry. The buffer solutions were autoclaved at 122°C for 15 minutes and then purged with nitrogen for 5 min utes prior to use. The pH value of each buffer solution was then rechecked at 50°C and was seen to be 4.00, 7.03 and 9.04 respectively.

PER 21/970568

Test substance (approximately 0.1 g) was weighed accurately into each of 6 volumetric flasks. The test substance was dissolved in buffer at 50°C to produce 2 solutions at each pH. The remaining 3 flasks were filled with buffer to act as blanks at each pH.

An al iquot from each solution was then poured into a polystop bottle and allowed to cool in a water bath at 20°C.

The flasks containing the remainder of each sol ution were stoppered, covered in aluminium foil and placed in a water bath at 50°C.

After 2.4 hours and 5 days a further aliquot of each solution was taken and cooled as before prior to analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
UK-143,108 has been found to undergo no significant hydrolysis at pH 4, 7 or 9 over 5 days at 50°C.

The results indicate that at 25°C, the test substance will possess a half-life of greater than one year at pH 4, 7 and 9.
