Product Information
Name:Undecenoic acid
Synonyms:
- Undecylenic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Undecenoic acid is an antimicrobial agent that is used in the treatment of infectious diseases. This compound has been shown to have significant cytotoxicity against C. glabrata, a yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections, and also inhibits the growth of other human pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium. Undecenoic acid has a broad spectrum of activity against bacteria and fungi and is effective when used at low concentrations. It is not active against viruses or protozoa. The reaction mechanism for undecenoic acid is unknown but it may be due to its ability to react with water vapor in the air to form undecenal, which then reacts with malonic acid to form malonaldehyde. Undecenoic acid binds to proteins through hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions, forming complexes that inhibit bacterial growth by interfering with DNA replication, protein synthesis, and enzyme activity.
