Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: Non-buffered mobile phase
Details on results:
In both HPLC-UV (268 nm) chromatograms of KY-AF, one large (98.2% area) and one small test substance peak (1.5% area) were observed. It was assumed that the large peak derived from the main constituent and the small peak derived from an impurity in the substance.

Conclusions:
The log Pow of the substance was determined to be 3.8.

Executive summary:

The log Pow of the substance was determined using the HPLC method in a GLP study according to EC A.8 and OECD 117. The mobile phase was 75/25 (v/v) methanol/water and the wavelength of detection 268 nm for the substance and 210 nm for the reference substances and unretained component. Duplicate measurements were performed. Both chromatograms of the test substance solution (5.39 mg/L) showed a large substance peak and a small impurity peak. The log Pow value for the substance was 3.8. The log Pow for the impurity was 5.0.
