Description:Decanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid that has been used as a pharmaceutical agent for the treatment of congestive heart failure. Decanoic acid is also used in the production of glycol ethers and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The melting point of decanoic acid is between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius, which is lower than the melting points of caproic acid (40 degress) or lauric acid (45 degrees Celsius). Decanoic acid has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels in diabetic mice and rats and has also been shown to have antimicrobial activity against c. glabrata, S. aureus, and E. coli. Decanoic acid may be effective as an adjuvant therapy for melanoma by inducing apoptosis through mitochondrial membrane potential disruption.
