Chemical Property Profile of Benzophenone
Property Insights of Benzophenone
The XLogP value of 3.4 indicates that Benzophenone is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 17.1 Ų, Benzophenone exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Benzophenone has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 1 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
