- Calculation of the Pow
The log Pow of the test item was calculated to be 10.7 using the Rekker calculation method.
HPLC Method
In the chromatogram of the test solution, one major peak was observed at a retention time of 91 minutes and one small peak at a retention time of 97 minutes.
The equation of the regression line was: logk’ = 0.284 x log Pow – 0.610 (r = 0.997, n = 12). - Conclusions:
- The HPLC method was applied for the determination of the partition coefficient (Pow) of 2,2'- methylenebis[6-(1-methylcyclohexyl)-p-cresol].
The Pow and log Pow value of the main component at neutral pH was:
8.3e9 Pow; 9.9 log Pow - Executive summary:
The aim of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for 2,2'-methylenebis[6-(1-methylcyclohexyl)-p-cresol].
The study was based on the following guidelines:
European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico-Chemical Properties, Guideline A.8: “Partition Coefficient”, Official Journal of the European Union no. 142, May 31, 2008.
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals no. 117: "Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method", April 13, 2004.
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Product Properties Test Guidelines no. OPPTS 830.7570: "Partition Coefficient (n-octanol/water), Estimation by Liquid Chromatography", August 1996.
The calculation method was used for a preliminary estimation of the Powof the test substance.
Calculation was performed using the Rekker calculation method (PrologP 6.0, module in Pallas 3.0, CompuDrug International, San Francisco, CA, USA). The calculation showed a log Powoutside the range of the methods. Testing according to OECD 123 Slow-Stirring Method however is not possible since concentration in the aqueous phase cannot be measured accurately. As an alternative, it was decided to use the HPLC method for determination of the Pow.
According to the guidelines, the determination of the Powof the test substance should be performed in its non-ionised form. Therefore, the pKa values of the test substance were calculated using the Perrin calculation method (pKalc 5.0, module in Pallas 3.0, CompuDrug International). Based on the calculations, it was decided to perform the HPLC method at neutral pH.
Solutions of reference substances and the test substance were analysed. The capacity factor (k') of each compound was calculated from its retention time. The log k’ values of the references substances were plotted against the known log Powvalues. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The coefficient of correlation (r) was calculated. The log Pow value for the test substance was calculated by substituting its mean log k’ and extrapolating the calibration curve. The value of log Powobtained from duplicate measurements was within ± 0.1 log units.
