Chemical Property Profile of Benzoyl Peroxide
Property Insights of Benzoyl Peroxide
The XLogP value of 3.5 indicates that Benzoyl Peroxide is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 52.6 Ų, Benzoyl Peroxide exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Benzoyl Peroxide has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 4 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
