Endpoint:
hydrolysis
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to other study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH)
Version / remarks:
2004
GLP compliance:
no
Remarks:
Although this study is non-GLP, the laboratory used is proficient and is capable of performing studies in compliance with GLP. This study was conducted for the purposes of other regulatory jurisdications where GLP is not a mandatory requirement.
Radiolabelling:
no
Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
Test was conducted until 6 points were taken between 10% and 90% hydrolysis of the test substance or for 30 days. At sampling dates, 0.6mL was sampled from test solution and filtered by Millex-LG (0.2um, Merck).
Filtrates were analysed by IC. The samples were immediately analysed after sampling.
Details of sampling intervals are presented in table 1 below.
Buffers:
pH 4.0: Mixture of 4.0mL of 0.1N NaOH and 500mL of 0.1M Potassium hydrogen phthalate was diluted to 1000 mL with ultra-pure water.
pH 7.0: Mixture of 296mL of 0.1N NaOH and 500 mL of 0.1 M KH2PO4 was diluted to 1000 mL with ultra-pure water
pH 9.0: Mixture of 213 mL of 0.1N NaOH and 500 mL of 0.1M KCl/0.1M H3BO3 was diluted to 100 mL with ultra-pure water
Details on test conditions:
Temperature: 3 temperatures (15, 40 and 50°C)
Duration: Test was conducted until 6 points were taken between 10 and 90% hydrolysis of the test substance or for 30 days.
Test conducted in dark conditions
Concentration 100 mg/L

Procedure:
The test substance was weighed (30 mg) and dissolved in 300 mL of buffer solutions (pH 4, 7 and 9). Vessels were duplicated and the initial pH (measured values) were 4, 7 and 8.9. The solutions were stirred in an incubator at 15°C, or shaken in the thermostatic water bath at 40 and 50°C.

*: PO3F ion and PO4 ion could not be measured due to the influence of buffer solution

 

 

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The test substance is considered hydrolytically unstable at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0 under the conditions of the test. The test substance hydrolyses more readily in alkaline conditions than under acidic conditions.

Description of key information

In an OECD guideline study, the test substance is considered hydrolytically unstable at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0 under the conditions of the test. Hydrolysis half-lifes were calculated for the test substance at an environmentally relevant temperature (25°C) at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0.  The test substance hydrolyses more readily in alkaline conditions than under acidic conditions. The half-life value used for the chemical safety assessment was pH 7.0 at 25°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
47 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C
