Chemical Property Profile of Ethanethiol
Property Insights of Ethanethiol
The XLogP value of 0.9 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Ethanethiol. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 1.0 Ų, Ethanethiol exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Ethanethiol has 1 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 1 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
