Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained from the study, it is concluded that the partition coefficient of the
Suberic Acid was found to be 0.59 (Log Pow) at 25  1.0 °C.
Executive summary:

Shake flask method was used for determination of partition coefficient of Suberic Acid. The study

was performed at 25  1.0 °C and at pH of 7.0.

Stability of test item was determined in water (buffer of pH 7.0) and n-octanol at 25  1.0 °C for a

period of 48 hours. Test item was found to be stable in both water (buffer of pH 7.0) and n-octanol

for a period of 48 hours at test temperature. Validated HPLC method was used for determination of

concentration of Suberic Acid in water (buffer of pH 7.0) and n-octanol.

A stock solution of 2001.56 mg/L (equivalent to 0.0081 mol/L) of test item was prepared in n-octanol

saturated with water (buffer). Solutions of three different ratios (1:1, 2:1 and 0.5:1) of test item were

prepared in n-octanol and water (buffer of pH 7.0) for determination of partition coefficient. The two

layers were mixed well by shaking with hand for about 5 minutes. The phase separation of the

mixture was achieved at the test temperature by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes. The two

layers [water (buffer) and n-octanol] were separated and the concentrations of test item dissolved in

both phases were determined by validated HPLC method. The partition coefficient was estimated

from the ratio of the solubility of Suberic Acid in n-octanol and water (buffer).

Based on the results obtained from the study, it is concluded that the partition coefficient of the

Suberic Acid is 0.59 (Log Pow) at 25  1.0 °C.
