Preferred term

Logarithm Of Octanol Water Partition Coefficient  

Definition

  • A dimensionless ratio that is the logarithm of the ratio of a compound's concentration within a two phase mixture of octanol and water at equilibrium. More simply, it is a comparison of the solubilities of the compound solute in these two immiscible liquids. This property is used to measure the lipophilicity and the hydrophilicity of a substance.
