Chemical Property Profile of Methyl Palmitate
Property Insights of Methyl Palmitate
The XLogP value of 7.9 indicates that Methyl Palmitate is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 26.3 Ų, Methyl Palmitate exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Methyl Palmitate has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), which may warrant consideration for formulation optimization.
