Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

3. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Defined endpoint: Partition coefficient
- Methodology : KOWWIN uses a "fragment constant" methodology to predict log P.  In a "fragment constant" method, a structure is divided into fragments (atom or larger functional groups) and coefficient values of each fragment or group are summed together to yield the log P estimate. KOWWIN’s methodology is known as an Atom/Fragment Contribution (AFC) method.  Coefficients for individual fragments and groups were derived by multiple regression of 2447 reliably measured log P values.  KOWWIN’s "reductionist" fragment constant methodology (i.e. derivation via multiple regression) differs from the "constructionist" fragment constant methodology of Hansch and Leo (1979) that is available in the CLOGP Program (Daylight, 1995).  See the Meylan and Howard (1995) journal article for a more complete description of KOWWIN’s methodology.

To estimate log P, KOWWIN initially separates a molecule into distinct atom/fragments.  In general, each non-hydrogen atom (e.g. carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, etc.) in a structure is a "core" for a fragment; the exact fragment is determined by what is connected to the atom.  Several functional groups are treated as core "atoms"; these include carbonyl (C=O), thiocarbonyl (C=S), nitro (-NO2), nitrate (ONO2), cyano (-C/N), and isothiocyanate (-N=C=S).  Connections to each core "atom" are either general or specific; specific connections take precedence over general connections.

Description of key information

QSAR prediction with a good reliability predicted that 4 -PhenoxyPhenol has a logKow:

  • 3.57 with Kowwin
  • 3.38 with OPERA
  • 3.12 and 3.57 with Vega

One Experimental Data was identified for Phenol, 4-Phenoxy, the log Kow is 3.35. This study has a Klimisch cotation 4, it cannot be used has a Key study.

It was therefore retained a value of 3.38 (QSAR value closest to the experimental value and in the mean of the range of predicted values).
