Type of "chemical force" or bond that may drive the interaction between lipophilic drugs and biological membrane lipids: A. H-bond B. Covalent C. Hydrophobic D. Electrostatic
Added by David I.
Step 1
Biological membrane lipids are also lipophilic in nature. The interaction between lipophilic drugs and biological membrane lipids is driven by a type of chemical force or bond that favors the association of nonpolar molecules in a polar environment, such as Show more…
