Description

Nonanoic acid is a fatty acid that is metabolized by the liver, and is used as a substrate in the film-forming test to measure the rate constant of glycol ethers. Nonanoic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to treat skin diseases caused by bacteria. It can also be used as a therapeutic for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In mice, nonanoic acid has been shown to have an antibacterial effect on Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). This compound also prevents the activation of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and TLR2 in human monocytes. Nonanoic acid is structurally similar to benzalkonium chloride and pelargonic acid, which are both antimicrobial agents.
