The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
3

Additional information

The experimental value of the logPow for ursodeoxycholic acid is 3.38. Considering also the predicted log Pow value of 4.66 by ACD/Labs’ ACD/PhysChem Suite it can be concluded that the substance has a moderately high partition coefficient, suggesting a higher repartition in the hydrophobic phase. The values, however, should be evaluated considering the amphipathic nature of bile acids. It can be therefore supposed that, in a biphasic solution, ursodeoxycholic acid will be mainly distributed at the interface of the two phases.
