Conclusions:
The partition coefficient(n-octanol/water) of test chemical was determined as per the HPLC method (OECD Guideline-117). The Log Pow value was determined to be 0.6032 ± 0.005 at 25°C.
Executive summary:

The partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 5 mg of test item and diluted with ACN up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 500 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 4.93. The reference substances were chosen according to functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared .The reference substances were Benzene,Biphenyl, 4- Acetylpyridine, Toluene Ethylbenzene, n-Butylbenzene, Naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 .The Log Pow value was determined to be 0.6032 ± 0.005 at 25°C. Based on this value, it can be concluded that test chemical is hydrophilic in nature.

Additional information

Based on the available data in a key study from study report, the partition Coefficient n-octanol/water of test chemical was determined by the Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline No. 117 for testing of Chemicals. A test item solution was prepared by accurately weighing 5 mg of test item and diluted with ACN up to 10 ml. Thus, the test solution concentration was 500 mg/l. The pH of test substance was 4.93. The reference substances were chosen according to functional similarity with the test substance and calibration graph was prepared .The reference substances were Benzene,Biphenyl, 4- Acetylpyridine, Toluene Ethylbenzene, n-Butylbenzene, Naphthalene having Pow value ranging from 0.5 to 4.6 .The Log Pow value was determined to be 0.6032 ± 0.005 at 25°C.

Additional study from authoritative and modelling databases indicates that the octanol water partition coefficient (log Pow) value of the test chemical was estimated to be -0.91 at 25°C.

Thus, based on the available information, the logPow valueof the test chemical ranges from -0.91 to 0.6, respectively. On the basis of this value, test chemical can be considered to be hydrophilic in nature.
