Chemical Property Profile of Alpha-Methylstyrene
Property Insights of Alpha-Methylstyrene
The XLogP value of 3.5 indicates that Alpha-Methylstyrene is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 0.0 Ų, Alpha-Methylstyrene exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Alpha-Methylstyrene has 0 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 0 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), all within the drug-like range, suggesting favorable oral bioavailability potential.
