Undecylenic acid is an important raw material for the synthesis of spices, such as gamma-undecylactone (also known as peach aldehyde), polycyclopentaenolactone, thymolone, nonylaldehyde and nonyl alcohol.
As a research raw material, it is used in the development of novel antifungal drugs, while also exploring its potential antibacterial and antiviral activities.
Synthetic lubricants: As a precursor to synthetic lubricants, it increases the viscosity index of lubricants and increases the proportion of renewable components in the product.
Surfactants/plasticizers: Used to prepare antibacterial surfactants, emulsifiers, and plasticizers for polymer materials, improving the flexibility of plastics and rubber.
Core antifungal agents: Disrupt the integrity of fungal cell membranes, primarily used to treat fungal skin diseases such as athlete's foot, tinea corporis, tinea cruris, and candidal vaginitis; often formulated as zinc/calcium salts (such as zinc undecylenate), added to creams, sprays, and lotions at a ratio of 2%–15%.
Antibacterial/antiviral research: Used as a research raw material in the development of novel antifungal drugs, while also exploring its potential antibacterial and antiviral activities.
Topical formulation excipients: Some derivatives can be used as cosolvents and dispersants in topical ointments, improving formulation stability.
