Chemical Property Profile of Quinone
Property Insights of Quinone
The XLogP value of 0.2 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Quinone. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 34.1 Ų, Quinone exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Quinone has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
