*Not calculable, because K is negative. The retention time of the peak is lower than the retention time of thiourea, which was used for the determination of the dead time of the method.

 

log POWwas calculated from the capacity factor as follows:

 

log POW= (log k + 0.63) / 0.4294

 

Result and Validity

Result

The correlation log K / log POWwas used for the calculation of the log POWof the components of test substancesodium 3-sulfobenzoate. Due to the fact that the retention time of the peaklay below the retention time of thiourea(log POWis not calculable), the log POWof these peaks is stated as < 0.3.

*Not calculable, because K is negative. The retention time of peak 1 is lower than the retention time of thiourea, which was used for the determination of the dead time of the method.

Conclusions:
Variations in the retention times of reference substances and test substance are very small. Therefore a stable configuration of the HPLC-column can be assumed.
The correlation log K / Log POW is acceptable: the coefficient of determination r2 was calculated with 0.9619. This value was considered as sufficiently high to use the calibration function for the determination of the log POW of test substances.
However, the log POW of the test substance sodium 3-sulfobenzoate was not calculable, because the retention time lay below the retention time of the dead time marker thiourea, resulting in a negative capacity factor K.
A retention time shorter than the dead time is an indicator for charged molecules which are repelled from the HPLC column particles and therefore have access to less effective column volume. As the test substance is a strong acid, a fully protonated species cannot be tested and; therefore, the log POW of sodium 3-sulfobenzoate is stated as < 0.3.
Executive summary:

The determination of the log POW of sodium 3-sulfobenzoate has been performed using the HPLC method according to OECD 117 resp. EU A.24. The study was performed using a HPLC with a C18 column. Seven reference substances with different retention times and thiourea for the determination of the dead time were used to produce a calibration curve, since retention time on hydrophobic columns and POW are

correlated. The reference substances were chosen based on the results of the pre-test.

One vial was filled with the reference substance mix and one vial with the test substance solution. The vials were analysed using the HPLC. First one injection from the solvent blank methanol/water 65/35 (v/v) was made. Then three injections were measured from the reference substance mix, three injections from the test substance and again three injections from the reference substance mix.

For each reference substance, the capacity factor k was calculated from the retention time of thiourea and the retention time of the respective reference substance.

A calibration function (log k versus log POW, linear fit) was determined using the literature values for POW of the reference substances and the retention times in the six determinations.

The chromatogram of the test substance gave one major peak. The log POW of the peak was not calculable, because the retention time lay below the retention time of thiourea.

The log POW of sodium 3 -sulfobenzoate is stated as < 0.3.
