Lipophilicity: having a strong affinity to fats and other lipids (rather than to water). This property of a chemical is often described by the octanol-water partition coefficient Pow. It is the proportion of the concentrations of the dissolved chemical in octanol (a lipophilic solvent) and water phases in a test tube. The more lipophilic chemical, the more it moves to the octanol phase and the higher the Pow value. [1]
