Hydrophilic-lipophilic balance
MEASURE OF THE DEGREE TO WHICH A SURFACTANT IS HYDROPHILIC OR LIPOPHILIC
The hydrophilic–lipophilic balance of a surfactant is a measure of the degree to which it is hydrophilic or lipophilic, determined by calculating values for the different regions of the molecule, as described by Griffin in 1949 and 1954. Other methods have been suggested, notably in 1957 by Davies.
Examples of use of hydrophilic
1. The latest study compared simvastatin, which is lipophilic (soluble in fats), and pravastatin, which is hydrophilic (soluble in water). Because simvastatin is fat soluble it can more readily penetrate cell membranes and cross the blood brain barrier into the brain.
