Chemical Property Profile of Hydroquinone
Property Insights of Hydroquinone
The XLogP value of 0.6 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Hydroquinone. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 40.5 Ų, Hydroquinone exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Hydroquinone has 2 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
