lipofiileistä
Lipofiilit, also known as lipophilic substances, are chemical compounds that tend to dissolve in fats, oils, and lipids. This property is the opposite of hydrophilic substances, which dissolve in water. The term "lipophilic" comes from the Greek words "lipos" meaning fat and "philos" meaning loving.
Lipophilic substances are typically nonpolar or weakly polar molecules. This allows them to interact favorably with
The degree of lipophilicity of a compound is often quantified by its partition coefficient, commonly expressed
Understanding lipophilicity is essential in various fields, including pharmacology, toxicology, and environmental science. In drug development,
