### 2.3 STUDY DESIGN 2.3.1 Model Calculation The model calculation was performed to decide which method should be used dudng the main test. Several techniques are available to determine the vapour pressure of a test item experimentally. These techniques are described in EEC guideline A.4 and in the OECD guideline 104, The value calculated, using the Modified Watson Correlation allows to choose the appropriate method. In this case the gas saturation method was used. Details of the model calculation are not given here but are part of the raw data.
2.3.2 Principle The nitrogen flow from a central supply was split into three streams for each temperature, The flow of each individual stream was regulated by needle valves to approx, 3 ml/min. Each nitrogen stream flew through a 0.32 mm glass capillary, which lead into a thermostated oven and through a septum to the bottom of a 20 ml glass vial, Two vials were filled with test item adsorbed on glass beads. The third vial was empty and served as a control. The gas left the vial through a capillary starting at the top of the vial. Outside the oven each gas stream passed a separate TENAX adsorption tube. The adsorption tube of the control stream was spiked with test item. Behind the adsorption tubes, the flow rate of the gas streams was measured using a digital flow meter. Depending on the expected vapour pressure the temperature of the oven and the duration of the test are adjusted. This study was performed at 50, 60 and 70°C. After about 5 days the adsorption tubes were eluted with a suitable solvent. The eluates were collected and analysed using a suited quantification method. By determining the amount of material transported by a known amount of carder gas the vapour pressure at a given temperature can be calculated. 

### 2.3.3 Trapping Efficiency Test A trapping efficiency test was performed to select suitable adsorption tubes to collect the test item and to select a suitable solvent for the elution of the test item from the tube. The trapping efficiency was tested with TENAX and XAD-2 adsorption tubes. A spike solution was prepared by dissolving 43.73 mg TKA 40278 (CGI 827) in 10 ml acetonitrile. 50 pl of this solution were used as a spike solution and added by injection to the front part of the tube. The tubes were dded and a stream of nitrogen flowed though the tubes for 30 minutes to test the adsorption on each tube material. Afterwards the tubes were extracted with acetonitdle and methanol, respectively. The tubes were eluted with 5 ml solvent and treated in the ultrasonic bath for 15 minutes. Each extract was filled up to 10 ml with the respective solvent. The solutions were analysed by HPLC to determine the trapping and elution efficiency. Based on the results of the trapping efficiency test TENAX adsorption tubes and acetonitrile as eluting solvent were used during the vapour pressure test.

### 2.3.4 Performance of the Main Test About 1.6 g of the test item were mixed on a Vortex mixer with about 14,1 g glass beads. Two 20 ml headspace vials were filled with the coated glass breads. These two vials and one empty control vial were placed in a temperature controlled oven. The two vials filled with the test item mixture were each connected to a TENAX tube. The third empty vial was connected to a TENAX tube, which was spiked with 219 pg test item using the stock solution. Afterwards a stream of nitrogen passed through the apparatus. This test was performed at 50°C for 116.2 hours, at 60°C for 115.8 hours and at 70°C for 115.5 hours. After completing the test the adsorption tubes were eluted with acetonitrile as described under item 2.3.3. Each eluate was analysed using the analytical method as described later in the report. All test vessels were labelled with the following information: RCC study number and the additional information necessary to assure unmistakable identification.


### 2.4 ANALYTICAL METHOD Calibration Solution A 32.71 mg sample of TKA 40278 (CGI 827) was dissolved in 100 ml acetonitdle / water (1:1; v/v) to prepare a stock solution of 327.1 pg/ml TKA 40278 (CGI 827). Calculated volumes of this stock solution were diluted with acetonitrile to obtain seven standard solutions in the range from 0.0491 pg/ml to 32.71 pg/ml TKA 40278 (CGI 827). Solutions with concentrations between 0.0491 pg/ml and 16.36 pg/ml were used as calibration solutions for samples and blanks and solutions with concentrations between 2.617 pg/ml and 32.71 pg/ml were used as calibration solutions for spiked solutions. Using 33.64 mg, 31.30 mg and 30.59 mg respectively, stock solutions were prepared to obtain test item solutions with a concentration between 0.626 pg/ml and 26.91 pg/ml TKA 40278 (CGI 827). These solutions were measured in respective to the calibration curve to verify the HPLC-system dudng the test. The recovery of all samples was between 92 % and 100 %.

### 2.5 DATA HANDLING The concentration of the test item in the eluted samples was interpolated from a calibration curve, which was established by linear correlation of the peak area of the analytical standards with their corresponding concentration. The correlation was performed using the linear function given below. From this curve the concentration x of TKA 40278 (CGI 827) was calculated by the following equation: Y=b.x+a --) x=(Y-a)/b

where C=f.x

Y = peak area of injected sample solutions x = concentration of injected sample solution (pg/ml) b = slope a = y-axis intercept f = factor of dilution C = concentration of the test item in the eluted samples (pg/ml) The vapour pressure at a given temperature can be calculated by determining the amount of material transported by a known amount of carrier gas.

## 3 RESULTS
The vapour pressure of TKA 40278 (CGI 827) was determined according to the EEC Directive 92/69, A.4 "Vapour Pressure" (1992) and the OECD guideline No. 104, "Vapour Pressure" (1995) using the gas saturation method. Based on the results of the vapour pressure model calculation the experiment was performed at 50°C, 60°C and 70°C. These temperatures were chosen because the evaporation of the test item was expected to be very low at lower temperatures. Details of the model calculation are not given here but are part of the raw data. The results and the amount of nitrogen used to calculate the vapour of the individual measurements are summarised in Table 1. The tabulated values represent rounded results which were obtained by calculation using the exact raw data. At none of the used temperatures any significant amount of test item could be detected, thus the vapour pressure was calculated using the least concentrated calibration solution. An extrapolation of the results was not performed. Still it can be deduced that the vapour pressure at 25°C is expected to be well below the calculated results. A typical chromatogram of a standard calibration solution is given in Figure 1. An example of a sample solution chromatogram equilibrated at 60°C is shown in Figure 2, A HPLC chromatogram of a blank solution (acetonitrile and water 50:50; v/v) is shown in Figure 3. An example of the calibration data for test item standards is given in Table 1. The R=fit was 1.0000 (optimum). This reflects the linearity of the HPLC-system within the calibration range of 0.0491 - 16.355 pg/ml of the test item. The experimental results lead to the conclusion that the vapour pressure of the TKA 40278 (CGI 827) is: 1.7.10"~ Pa at 50°C, 1,6.10~ Pa at 60°C and 1.6.104 Pa at 70°C.
Based on the experimental results the vapour pressure of TKA 40278 (CGI 827) at 25°C is expected to be << 1,6  ̄ 10~ Pa at 25°C,
