Undecylenic Acid

An unsaturated fatty acid with 11 carbon atoms, obtained by heating a derivative of ricinoleic acid from castor oil to 500-600 °C; it is used as a topical antifungal against athlete's foot, ringworm and other fungal skin infections. This family brings together the active ingredient, labelled standards and other impurities.

Did you know?Besides pharmacy, it has a major use in industry: undecylenic acid is turned into the precursor of nylon-11, a plastic that therefore starts life as castor oil.
