Remarks on result:

not determinable

Remarks:

No reliable quantitive value could be determined due to low mass balance.

Details on results:

Sample concentrations were much lower than expected - the sample peak areas were less than that of the lowest standard (1 mg/L) ranging from 0.09-0.64 mg/L organic phase and 0.19-0.80 mg/L in the aqueous phase.
Although this is not ideal, it was considered that to re-analyse with a lower calibration range was not necessary because, with the mass recovery being so low (0.95%), highly accurately sample results was a secondary issue and would not have changed the direction of the test.
The result for the stock solution showed that the analysis itself was not an issue with it being close to the “as weighted in” concentration. The calibration curves were also acceptable.
The reason for the very low mass balance was attributed to the surface active properties of the test item. It is known that surface active substances can congregate at the interface of the organic and aqueous phases and which indicates that the method is not applicable. The surface tension of the test item demonstrated it is highly surface active with a result of 36.5 mN/m. This property was also the reason why the flask-shake (OECD 107) and HPLC (OECD 117) methods would not have been applicable.

Conclusions:

Determination of the partition coefficient of the test item at 25°C was attempted using the slow-stirring method in accrodance with OECD Test Guideline 123.
However, due to the surface active properties of the test item and congregation at the interface of the phases, a very low mass balance was observed.
This meant that the test method was not applicable and therefore, a reliable value for the partition coefficient was not determined.

Conclusions:

According to the structural assessment and (Q)SAR modelling carried out on 1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-coco acyl derivs., hydroxides, inner salts, the constituents are predicted to display a range of log Pow values (-4.30 to +0.61) depending on their structure. The main C12 constituent (ca. 42%) is predicted to have a Log Pow of -2.34.

Executive summary:

1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-coco acyl derivs., hydroxides, inner salts was assessed in terms of partition coefficient n-octanol/water using a (Q)SAR tool.

According to the (Q)SAR modelling carried out on the constituents, the predicted log Pow values range from -4.30 to +0.61, indicating that they are likely to be soluble in water and less likely to partition into the n-octanol phase.

Description of key information

Test

Determination of the partition coefficient of the substance at 25°C was attempted using the slow-stirring method in accrodance with OECD Test Guideline 123. However, due to the surface active properties of the test item and congregation at the interface of the phases, a very low mass balance was observed. This meant that the test method was not applicable and therefore, a reliable value for the partition coefficient could not be determined.

QSAR prediction

Due to the lack of reliable results of the experimental study 1-Propanaminium, N-(3-aminopropyl)-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-3-sulfo-, N-coco acyl derivs., hydroxides, inner salts was assessed in terms of partition coefficient n-octanol/water using a (Q)SAR tool. According to the (Q)SAR modelling carried out on the constituents, the predicted Log Pow values range from -4.30 to +0.61, indicating that they are likely to be soluble in water and less likely to partition into the n-octanol phase. The main C12 constituent (ca. 42%) is predicted to have a Log Pow of -2.34.
