Executive summary:

The purpose of the study was to determine the physico-chemical properties for MLA-3202.

 

The melting temperature of the test item were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), in accordance with the following guidelines:

European Community (EC), EC no. 440/2008, Part A: Methods for the Determination of Physico Chemical Properties, Guideline A.1: “Melting/Freezing Temperature”, Official Journal of the European Union no. L142, May 31, 2008.

During cooling an exothermic peak was observed between -40°C and -10°C.

The effect was obtained due to crystallization of the test item. During heating, an endothermic peak between -50°C and 25°C was observed. Due to an irregular baseline, caused by the composition of the test item, no defined melting temperature could be determined.

In order to obtain a sharper melting peak a lower heating rate of 5°C/minute was applied in the Experiment 2. The melting peak was observed between -50°C and +10°C but peal shape was still broad. After the experiment, a colourless residue remained in the sample container.

The melting range was determined from the width of the peak obtained with experiment 2 (between -50°C and 10°C).

 

The melting range of MLA-3202 was determined to be -50 to +10°C (223 – 283K) by using DSC.
