Chemical Property Profile of Mellitic Acid
Property Insights of Mellitic Acid
The XLogP value of -0.9 indicates that Mellitic Acid is hydrophilic (water-soluble), making it suitable for aqueous formulations and biological assay applications. The TPSA of 224.0 Ų indicates high polarity, suggesting Mellitic Acid may have limited membrane permeability but good aqueous solubility. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Mellitic Acid has 6 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 12 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), which may warrant consideration for formulation optimization.
