Reference
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
from January to February 1996
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-compliant guideline study - The study is considered as reliable without critical missing information : pH and quality criteria not reported.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 117 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC Method)
Version / remarks:
(1989)
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.8 (Partition Coefficient)
Version / remarks:
(HPLC method)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Reverse phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography on octadecyl-modified silica stationary phase is used.
Partitioning on the column occurs in order of hydrophobicity when a suitable mobile phase is used. From relationships between the measured retention times and the known octanol/water partition coefficients of reference substances, the partition coefficient of the test substance is calculated.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
HPLC method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water

Calculation:

 

k = (tR /t0) - 1 capacity factor,

where,

tR1, tR2, tRm : retention times (1rst calibration, 2ndcalibration, average)

t: « dead time », i.e. retention time of thiourea

 

Linear regression parameters: log Pow = a x log k + b

where;

Correlation coefficient : r2= 0,995

Slope : a = 3,500

Y-axis intercept : b = 2,188

 

Results obatined for the peak of  DIMETOL:

log Kow 3
Conclusions:
Dimetol has a partition coefficient n-octanol/water of log Pow = 3.0 at 45°C
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the partition coefficient of Dimetol by Reverse Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatographic method according to OECD Guideline 117.
