Prelim Test

The log Powof the test sbstance was calculated to be 3.5, using the Rekker calculation method. The pKa of the test substance was estimated to be 13.81, using the Perrin calculation method.

Main Test

The results of the HPLC method are shown in Table 1. The equation of the regression line was log k' = 0.349 x log Pow - 0.862 (r2= 0.997, n = 12).

Conclusions:
The log Pow values of the for isomers of the test item at neutral pH were 3.7 and 4.0.
Executive summary:

The log Powof the test substance (both isomer forms) was determined using the HPLC method in accordance with EU Method A.8.

The partition coefficient (Pow) of the test substance isomers at neutral pH were 5.2 x 103and 9.1 x 103, corresponding to Log Powvalues of 3.7 and 4.0, respectively.

Since the test substance is a mixture, the Log Powis reported as a range i.e. 3.7 - 4.0.

Description of key information

Partition coefficient: Log Pow= 3.7 - 4.0, EU Method A.8 - HPLC method, Anon, 2017. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The log Powof the test substance (both isomer forms) was determined using the HPLC method in accordance with EU Method A.8.

The partition coefficient (Pow) of the test substance isomers at neutral pH were 5.2 x 103and 9.1 x 103, corresponding to Log Powvalues of 3.7 and 4.0, respectively.

Since the test substance is a mixture, the Log Powis reported as a range i.e. 3.7 - 4.0.

The surface tension measurement of < 60 mN/m was not considered to preclude the use of OECD 117 method for partition coefficient (refer to Section 4.8).
