Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2018
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
accepted calculation method
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 107 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), Shake Flask Method)
Version / remarks:
Computational approach in OECD Guideline 107
Deviations:
no
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient - Shake Flask Method)
Version / remarks:
Computational approach in EU A.8
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Firstly, the water solubility of the test substance was determined based on CMC and the n-octanol solubility according to OECD Guideline 115. The partition coefficient was then calculated from ratio of the solubility of the test substance in octanol and water.

Key result
Type:
Pow
Partition coefficient:
ca. 8 875
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: based on ratio of solubility in n-octanol and water/CMC
Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
ca. 3.95
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: based on ratio of solubility in n-octanol and water/CMC
Details on results:
-Solubility of the test substance in n-octanol: 35.5 g/L (ref: Envigo, 2018)
-Solubility of the test substance in water (based on CMC): 4 mg/L (ref: Envigo, 2018)

The log Pow was calculated according to the equation:
Pow = solubility of the test substance in n-octanol / solubility of the test substance in water

Pow calculation based on n-octanol solubility:
= 35500 mg/L / 4 mg/L
= 8875 mg/L
Log Pow: 3.95
Conclusions:
Under the study conditions, the calculated partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance, based on solubility in n-octanol and water, was determined to be 3.95 at 20°C.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine partition coefficient of the test substance, from the ratio of the solubility in n-octanol and water, according to a method similar to the OECD Guideline 107 and EU Method A.8. The water solubility of the test substance was determined to be 4 mg/L (based on critical micelle concentration) and the n-octanol solubility was determined to be 35.5 g/L according to OECD Guideline 115. Log Pow calculation based on n-octanol solubility is determined to be 3.95. Under the study conditions, the calculated partition coefficient (log Pow) of the test substance, based on solubility in n-octanol and water, was determined to be 3.95 at 20°C (Croda, 2018).
