Yes. Xenon is lipophilic and exhibits affinity for cavities in macromolecular interiors. Xenon's lipophilic behavior has been shown from its partition with long-chain hydrocarbons and from its in vitro and in vivo partition with fatty tissue.

What is the definition of lipophilic?

Having an affinity for or capable of dissolving in lipids.


Does all non polar molecules are lipophilic?

Not all nonpolar molecules are lipophilic, but most lipophilic molecules tend to be nonpolar. Lipophilic molecules are attracted to fats and oils, so they typically do not mix well with water. Nonpolar molecules lack a significant difference in electronegativity and, as a result, do not easily dissolve in water.


Is an ionized drug more lipophilic or less lipophilic?

An ionized drug is generally less lipophilic than its non-ionized form. This is because ionization usually results in the drug having a greater affinity for water rather than lipid-based environments.


What is lipophilic?

Lipophilic refers to substances or molecules that are attracted to and able to dissolve in fats, oils, and lipids. This term is often used in the context of pharmaceuticals to describe substances that have an affinity for fatty tissues in the body.


What happens when you mix fluorine with xenon?

When you mix fluorine with xenon, the fluorine can react with xenon to form xenon fluorides, such as xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) or xenon hexafluoride (XeF6). These xenon fluorides are generally unstable and highly reactive compounds.
