Lipophilicity (from Gr**** λίπος "fat" and φίλος "friendly") is the
ability of a
chemical compound to
dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents...
- The hydrophilic–
lipophilic balance (HLB) of a
surfactant is a
measure of its
degree of
hydrophilicity or
lipophilicity,
determined by
calculating percentages...

Lipophilic efficiency (LiPE),
sometimes referred to as ligand-
lipophilicity efficiency (LLE) is a
parameter used in drug
design and drug
discovery to...

Lipophilic bacteria (fat-loving bacteria) are
bacteria that may
proliferate in lipids. They
include lipophilic corynebacteria.
Cutibacterium acnes is a...

chemical compound possessing both
hydrophilic (water-loving, polar) and
lipophilic (fat-loving, nonpolar) properties. Such a
compound is
called amphiphilic...
