The retention time is described by the capacity factor k given by the expression: k = tR-t0/t0

The octanol/water partition coefficient of the test item can be computed by experimentally determining its capacity factor k and then inputting k into the following equation: log POW = a + b x log k

According to Regulation EC No. 440/2008 method A.8. and OECD Test Guideline 117 the partition coefficient of the test item at 20 °C cannot be determined via interpolation as the retention time is below the retention time of the reference item with the lowest log POW. Therefore, the log POW can only be estimated to be: log POW < 1.3

Conclusions:
The log partition coefficient at 20 °C of the test item was estimated to be < 1.3.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the log Pow of the test item according to the HPLC method described in OECD Guideline No. 117 (2004) and EU Regulation No. 440/2008. Because the retention time of the test item was below the retention time of the reference substance with the lowest log Pow, no distinct value could be defined. The log Pow of the test item was determined to be < 1.3.

Conclusions:
Using KOWWIN v1.68 the logPow of the test item was calculated to be -0.58 at 25 °C. The substance is within the applicability domain of the model.
Executive summary:

The logPow was calculated using KOWWIN v1.68 as part of EPISuite v4.11 from US Environmental Protection Agency.

Using KOWWIN v1.68 the log Kow of the test item was calculated to be -0.58 at 25 °C (EPI Suite, 2014).

 

The adequacy of a prediction depends on the following conditions:

a) the (Q)SAR model is scientifically valid: the scientific validity is established according to the OECD principles for (Q)SAR validation;

b) the (Q)SAR model is applicable to the query chemical: a (Q)SAR is applicable if the query chemical falls within the defined applicability domain of the model;

c) the (Q)SAR result is reliable: a valid (Q)SAR that is applied to a chemical falling within its applicability domain provides a reliable result;

d) the (Q)SAR model is relevant for the regulatory purpose.

 

For assessment and justification of these 4 requirements the QMRF and QPRF files were developed and attached to this study record.

Additional information

A study was conducted to determine the log Pow of the test item according to the HPLC method described in OECD Guideline No. 117 (2004) and EU Regulation No. 440/2008. Because the retention time of the test item was below the retention time of the reference substance with the lowest log Pow, no distinct value could be defined. The log Pow of the test item was determined to be < 1.3. Therefore, a QSAR calculation was performed using KOWWIN v1.68. The substance is within the applicability domain. The log Pow of -0.58 at 25 °C derived from the QSAR model is used as key value for chemical safety assessment. The value is supported by the experimental study (consilab, 2020) which estimated a value of < 1.3 at 20 °C.
