Reference

Endpoint:

water solubility

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

2018-09-27

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

Experimental determination of the water solubility of the test item was technically not possible. During the dissolution procedure the test item swelled up and was only hardly stirrable afterwards. Furthermore, analytical monitoring in ecotoxicological studies indicates that the test item may be susceptible to hydrolysis. Therefore, hydrolysis of the test item during the water solubility study could not be excluded, which would introduce substantial bias in the measurement of water solubility. However, the analytical method (TOC) used for determination of the water solubility experiment is not substance-specific and therefore no further experimental data on hydrolytic instability of the test item is available.
In conclusion, the technical issues triggered by the swelling of the test mixture as well as the potential hydrolytic instability of the test item suggest that other processes than mere dissolution occurred during testing and therefore the study was stopped. It is further concluded that the water solubility of the test item cannot be determined by the standard test protocol according to EU method A.6 and OECD test guideline 105. Therefore, this endpoint is covered by QSAR modelling.

Qualifier:

according to guideline
