Chemical Property Profile of Diethylene Glycol
Property Insights of Diethylene Glycol
The XLogP value of -1.3 indicates that Diethylene Glycol is hydrophilic (water-soluble), making it suitable for aqueous formulations and biological assay applications. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 49.7 Ų, Diethylene Glycol exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Diethylene Glycol has 2 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 3 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
