Reference
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
21 February 2006 to 03 April 2006
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 117 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC Method)
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
In the preliminary test, a very good solubility in water and a very poor solubility in n-octanol were found indicating a partition coefficient below -2. Hence, a main test according to OECD Guidelines 107/117 (either HPLC or flask shaking method) could not be applied.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
other: estimated from its solubility in n-octanol and in water
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Specific details on test material used for the study:

Expiration date: 01 October 2010
Storage: At room temperature at about 20 °C in a desiccator (hygroscopic)
Analytical method:
high-performance liquid chromatography
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
-5.8
Remarks on result:
other: calculated using the solubility in n-octanol and water respectively.

WATER SOLUBILITY


After mixing a total of about 2.5 g of test item in 5 ml of water a dark coloured solution was obtained. It was scarily possible to decide by visual judgement if complete dissolution was achieved. The water solubility of FAT 40824/A might therefore be higher as determined in this study. The determination of the concentration in the above mentioned test item/water mixture was done by HPLC with respect to a calibration curve. A main test was not performed. In conclusion, the water solubility of FAT 40824/A was found to be at least 373 g/l (or above) at room temperature.


 


PARTITION COEFFICIENT (N-OCTANOL / WATER)


Neither the HPLC-method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 nor the flask-shaking method according to OECD Guideline No. 107 were applicable for the determination of the partition coefficient of FAT 40824/A. Thus, the log Pow-value for the test item was estimated from its solubility in n-octanol and in water, respectively. In the present study, the n-octanol solubility of FAT 40824/A was determined to be 0.6095 µg/ml.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient, log POW of FAT 40824/A was calculated from the individual solubility in n-octanol and in water, respectively, to be -5.8.
Executive summary:

Neither the HPLC-method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 nor the flask-shaking method according to OECD Guideline No. 107 were applicable for the determination of the partition coefficient of FAT 40824/A. Thus, the log POW-value for the test item was estimated from its solubility in n-octanol and in water, respectively. In the present study, the n-octanol solubility of FAT 40824/A was determined to be 0.6095 µg/ml. In conclusion, the partition coefficient, log Pow of FAT 40824/A was calculated from the individual solubilities in n-octanol and in water, respectively, to be -5.8.
