Chemical Property Profile of Methacrolein
Property Insights of Methacrolein
The XLogP value of 0.7 suggests moderate lipophilicity, balancing water solubility and membrane permeability for Methacrolein. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 17.1 Ų, Methacrolein exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Methacrolein has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 1 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
