Chemical Property Profile of Sorbitol
Property Insights of Sorbitol
The XLogP value of -3.1 indicates that Sorbitol is hydrophilic (water-soluble), making it suitable for aqueous formulations and biological assay applications. The TPSA of 121.0 Ų falls within the moderate polarity range, balancing permeability and solubility for Sorbitol. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Sorbitol has 6 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 6 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), which may warrant consideration for formulation optimization.
