Chemical Property Profile of Benzoin
Property Insights of Benzoin
The XLogP value of 2.1 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Benzoin. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 37.3 Ų, Benzoin exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Benzoin has 1 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
