Chemical Property Profile of Methyl iodide
Property Insights of Methyl iodide
The XLogP value of 1.5 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Methyl iodide. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 0.0 Ų, Methyl iodide exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Methyl iodide has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 0 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
