That's 6.5× as greasy as aspirin, while an ideal oral drug is 3.2× greasier. About 99.01% of it ends up in the oily layer.

What it means
Where does it go?
Log P is for the neutral molecule. For anything that ionizes, log D at a stated pH is the figure that matters in the body.
The math
How to convert log P to P
Log P is a logarithm of the ratio: P = 10^(log P), and the share in octanol is P ÷ (1 + P) × 100 percent. The free energy of transfer is −5.708 × log P kJ/mol.
Example: 2 log P = 100 P.
