Details on results:
The reported values indicate the concentrations of the neutral test substance. The uncorrected Log Pow values measured at 25 °C are: 1.1, -0.59 and -1.8 for pH at 5.0, 6.9 and 9.0, respectively.

The variation between the corrected log P values indicates that the assumption that the test substance exists in octanol (saturated with the respective buffer) solely as the neutral species is not entirely justified. At pH 9.00, a significant proportion of the test substance exists in the charged form as either the potassium or the sodium salt. Even at pH 7.00 some of the test substance in the octanol must exist as a salt. However, this proportion is less than that in the pH 9.00 system, therefore the corrected log P value using the buffer pH 7.00 is nearer to that using buffer pH 5.00.

Conclusions:
The octanol-water partition coefficient (Log Pow) of the test substance at 25 °C was found to be 1.6, 1.7 and 2.6 at pH 5.0, 6.9 and 9.0, respectively.
Executive summary:

The octanol-water partition coefficient (Log Pow) of the test substance was determined using the shake-flask method and according to OECD TG 117 following GLP principles. At 25 °C the partition coefficient (n-octanol / water) of the test substance was found to be 1.6, 1.7 and 2.6 at pH 5.0, 6.9 and 9.0, respectively.
