Product Overview
Lutein (CAS 180580-60-3), 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-3-en-1-ol.
Chemical Property Profile of Lutein
Property Insights of Lutein
The XLogP value of 11.0 indicates that Lutein is lipophilic (fat-soluble), which may influence its absorption, distribution, and formulation strategy. With a topological polar surface area (TPSA) of 40.5 Ų, Lutein exhibits relatively low polarity, potentially indicating favorable cell membrane permeability. Following Lipinski's Rule of Five, Lutein has 2 hydrogen bond donor(s) and 2 hydrogen bond acceptor(s), which may warrant consideration for formulation optimization.
