    chemical affinity for dissolving in fats and oils

    Lipophilicity refers to the chemical property of a substance that describes its ability to dissolve in fats, oils, and lipids rather than in water. This characteristic is crucial in pharmacology and biochemistry because it influences how drugs are absorbed, distributed, and retained in the body, as well as their ability to cross cell membranes.
