1-OCTANOL SOLUBILITY

A chromatogram of a typical solution of the test substance in 1-octanol solutions was available. Under our conditions, the retention time of the interesting peak is about 8.46 minutes.

The calibration curve is attached in appendix 2. Its equation and correlation coefficient are:

Y = - 1.382498* 10000 x2 + 1.251259*1000000x

R2= 0.999990

Where y means the peak area and x the concentration in g/L of the corresponding sample aliquot.

Table 1 shows the weighted samples (x g/20 mL 1-Octanol), the peak areas of the signals, the resulting 1-Octanol solubility of the test substance as well as the average and the standard deviation.

After determining of the concentration of the test substance, the evaluation is carried out analogously to OECD 105 (water solubility): If the concentrations measured in at least the two last days do not differ by more than 15 %, the test is satisfactory.

 

The individual results differ by 1.29 % for 1 -octanol solubility, which makes tests correct. Global results are:

Solubility of the test substance in 1 Octanol (20 °C): 7.73 ± 0.10 g

 

WATER-SOLUBILITY

The water-solubility was calculated by determination the nitrogen content of a saturated water solution. The crystal slurry of the test substance is cooled to 20 °C and then centrifuged for 6 min. at 3500 rpm. The liquid supernatant is used to analyze the nitrogen content.

Calculation of water solubility:

Amount of Nitrogen: 7.66 % = 0.547 mol

Amount of the test substance as hydrochloride (MW 125.6 g/mol) = 0.547 * 125.6 =68.70 %

Solubility of the test substance in Water (20 °C): 687.0 ± 0.1 g/L

 

ESTIMATION OF THE PARTITION COEFFICIENT

 

The partition coefficient of the solute can be estimated with the following formula:

logPow = log ([solute]1-octanol/[solute] water)

 

With the previous results for water solubility (687.0 g/L) and 1-Octanol solubility (7.73 g/L), the estimation of the partition coefficient of the test substance is:

 

log Pow = log (7.73 g/L/687.0 g/L) = -1.95 ± 0.01

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The estimated partition coefficient of the test substance is -1.95.
Executive summary:
The log Pow was estimated based on the solubility of the test item in water (687.0 g/L) and n-octanol (7.73 g/L). The resulting log Pow is -1.95.
