Product Overview
tunaxanthin (CAS 12738-95-3), with molecular formula C40H56O2 and molecular weight 568.43 g/mol. IUPAC: 4-[18-(4-hydroxy-2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)-3,7,12,16-tetramethyloctadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17-nonaenyl]-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-ol.
Chemical Property Profile of tunaxanthin
Property Insights of tunaxanthin
The XLogP value of 10.2592 indicates that tunaxanthin is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 40.46 Ų, tunaxanthin exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, tunaxanthin has 2 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), which may warrant consideration for formulation optimization.
