Chemical Property Profile of Lactaldehyde
Property Insights of Lactaldehyde
The XLogP value of -0.5 indicates that Lactaldehyde is hydrophilic (water-soluble), making it suitable for aqueous formulations and biological assay applications. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 37.3 Ų, Lactaldehyde exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Lactaldehyde has 1 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
