Chemical Property Profile of Catechol
Property Insights of Catechol
The XLogP value of 0.9 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Catechol. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 40.5 Ų, Catechol exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Catechol has 2 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
