The major component is considered to have no significant UV-Vis absorbing functionality.

The complex nature and physical properties of the substance made it difficult to provide a suitable log Kow value. Consequently, QSAR was used to provide clarity and reflect the representative chemistry of the Substance model is a US EPA accepted QSAR method for organic chemicals properties assessment. The estimated values by KOWWIN for the major component for the Substance was 7.8.

Details on results:

The three aliquots of the 100 mg/L EXP1505385 solution were sequentially injected. The EXP1505385 test substance reproducibly eluted as two peaks on the UV detector. The capacity factor (k) for each peak was calculated based on the corresponding retention times and the results for the three injections were averaged. The corresponding estimated mean Log POW for the two test substance peaks was calculated to be 1.08 and >6.50, respectively. The calculated mean retention times, capacity factors, and mean n octanol/water partition coefficients for EXP1505385 are presented in Table 5.

Conclusions:

The test substance eluted as one component group at a retention time greater than the latest eluting reference compound 4,4'-DDT. Therefore, the Log Pow value is estimated to be >6.20..

Executive summary:

The n-octanol/water partition coefficient (P_ow) of the test substance was estimated by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). This procedure was based on the methods outlined in the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals 117: "Partition Coefficient (n-OctanollWater), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method" and EC Annex V, Method A.8 "Partition Coefficient".

For certain small organic molecules in their non-ionized form, a relationship has been demonstrated in which the Log P_owcorrelates with the compound's potential to transfer from water into organic matter. As a result, Log P_owhas become established as an accepted measure of a compound's potential to partition into organic material regardless of its chemical class. The HPLC method exploits the relationship between the Log Pow values of pure organic compounds and their retention times (expressed as capacity factors, k) in a reverse phase liquid chromatography system to estimate the P_owof organic substances.

The test substance eluted as one component group at a retention time greater than the highest reference compound when analyzed by HPLC. The estimated Log Po_wvalues for the test substance is >6.2.

Description of key information

Two studies were conducted and estimated that the Substance will have Partition coefficient greater than the highest reference material (DDT, log Kow = 6.2 to 6.5). Values have also been estimated from KOWWIN (EpiSuite 4.10)and Log P(Multicase inc)QSAR models in the QSAR Toolbox 3.4.0.17. Log Kow estimated values for Substance using these models are 7.8 - 8.34. Therefore this confirms that the Substance is likely to have a log Kow >6.2

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Initial attempts were made to experimentally determine the Partition Coefficient (Kow) for registration of the Substance. The Substance is considered to be a UVCB (Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Materials). The complex nature and physical properties of the Substance resulted in 2 peaks in the Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient study. In this study HPLC-UV detection was used however it was noted that use of UV detection is limited to those components of UVCB materials with chromophoric functionality. The major component is considered to have no significant UV-Vis absorbing functionality. Other detectors may have provided a different set of responses, however, in the opinion of the Study Director, the experimental design and conditions presented in this study were deemed to be most appropriate for the estimation of Log POW for this test substance.  

The complex nature and physical properties of the substance made it difficult to provide a suitable log Kow value. Consequently, QSAR models was used to provide clarity and reflect the representative chemistry of the Substance. This was executed using KOWWIN (EpiSuite) and Log P (Multicase inc) model in the QSAR Toolbox 3.4.0.17. The weight of evidence estimated the Log Kow for the representative Substance is >6.2.
