logP, or the logarithm of the partition coefficient, is a quantitative measure of the hydrophobicity of a compound, representing its distribution between an organic solvent (usually octanol) and water. It is crucial in predicting how well a molecule will absorb, distribute, metabolize, and excrete within biological systems. Higher logP values indicate greater hydrophobicity, which impacts drug design and efficacy.
congrats on reading the definition of logP. now let's actually learn it.
