• Synonyme: a-Hydroxycapric acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: 2-Hydroxydecanoic acid is a fatty acid that has a hydroxy group and a hydroxyl group. It is used as an active substance in pharmaceutical preparations and as a synthetic chemical intermediate. 2-Hydroxydecanoic acid can be produced by the oxidation of 2-hydroxyoctanoic acid with hydrogen peroxide or sodium perborate. The analytical method for this compound is based on its constant boiling point (184°C). 2-Hydroxydecanoic acid has been shown to have nootropic activity in rats at nanomolar concentrations and also has sustained-release properties when it is incorporated into microspheres. The average particle diameter of these microspheres is 10 micrometers, which makes them suitable for use as a sustained-release drug delivery system.
