Chemical Property Profile of Peracetic Acid
Property Insights of Peracetic Acid
The XLogP value of -0.4 indicates that Peracetic Acid is hydrophilic (water-soluble), making it suitable for aqueous formulations and biological assay applications. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 46.5 Ų, Peracetic Acid exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Peracetic Acid has 1 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 3 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
