3.1.1.6 End Uses of Undecylenic Acid

Undecylenic Acid

Undecylenic acid has a long history as antifungal drug. It is used to treat some types of fungus

infections.

Undecylenic acid is a natural fungicide and is FDA approved in over-the-counter medications for skin

disorders. It is the active ingredient in medications for skin infections, and relieves itching, burning,

and irritation. For example, it is used against fungal skin infections such as Athlete's foot, Ringworm,

and Candida albicans. It is also used in the treatment of psoriasis.

Most organic fatty acids are fungicidal and have been used for centuries as antimicrobial agents,

originally in the manufacture of soaps. In the last 50 years, however, they have found use both in vitro

as yeast and mold inhibitors in food stuffs, and as topical and systemic antifungals. Undecylenic acid

is an economical antifungal agent and is the active ingredient in many topical over-the-counter

antifungal preparations. Undecylenic acid has been shown to be approximately six times more

effective as an antifungal agent than caprylic acid, and is effective in maintaining a healthy balance of

intestinal and vaginal flora.

When undecylenic acid is treated with hydrogen bromide in a non-polar solvent in the presence of

peroxide, reverse Markownikoff addition occurs and the main product is x-bromoundecanoic acid. The

product is then treated with ammonia to give x-aminoundecanoic acid, which is a crystalline solid.

Aminoundecanoic acid is the starting material for nylon-11.

BrCH2.CH2(CH2)8COOH NH3H2N(CH2)10COOH (w-Aminoundecanoic Acid)

The self-condensation of Castor oil derivative, 11-aminoundecanoic acid yields nylon-11 or

Polyundecanamide. Molten nylon-11 polymer is thermostable stable and can tolerate elevated

temperatures of 215 C. It has an increased half-life and exhibits a minimal susceptibility to oxidative

damage when stored under proper inert atmosphere. The properties of stiffness, specific gravity and

high initial modulus in nylon 11 makes its way robust to find applications in brush bristles, textile

industries and automobile tire cord market respectively. In addition, the plant based polymer has

appreciable low moisture absorbing and electrical insulation activities.

As nylon 11 has melting point of 189°C, it needs attention when subjected to high temperature

treatments in the general textile units.

Specific applications of undecylenic acid:

An active ingredient in many topical over-the-counter antifungal preparations like the tinea

pedis, diaper rash, and effective against denture stomatitis and herpes. Several studies have

demonstrated that undecylenic acid is 4-5 times powerful an antifungal agent as caprylic acid

in the same dosage.

Undecylenic acid and its derivatives have a bi-functionality: Acts as a surfactant as well as

possess natural bio-resistance properties.

Biocide in soaps and deodorants

Surfactant in hair lotions.

Starting material for Nylon-11

Malodorous/foul smelling paper mill effluents can also be deodorized by treating them with

an effective deodorizing amount – such as an alkyl or polyoxyalkylene ester of undecylenic

acid, for example methyl undecylenate or polyoxyethylene undecylenate.

Malodorous animal feeds can be deodorized by treating them with an effective foodstuff

deodorizing amount of polyoxyalkylene ester of undecylenic acid.

There are instances where malodorous liquid animal manures & sewage sludges are

deodorized by treating the sample with a polyoxyalkylene ester of undecylenic acid.

Biochemistry and Pharmacokinetics for Undecylenic Acid

Wyss et al demonstrated more than 50 years ago, that the greater the number of carbon atoms in the

fatty acid chain, the greater the fungicidal activity, up to the point exceeding eleven carbon atoms,

where solubility becomes the limiting factor. Although the fungistatic and fungicidal effects of fatty

acids have been well documented, they can be somewhat irritating tomucous membranes in certain

people, and commonly used fatty acids such as caprylic and undecylenic acids have ano bjectionable

taste and odor. Consequently, the calcium, magnesium, and sodium salts of these fatty acids have

been offeredas reasonable alternatives. Undecylenate salts have been shown to possess as much as

four times the fungicidal effect of undecylenic acid, and may be over 30 times more effective than

caprylic acid. Unfortunately, the antifungal effects of these fatty acid salts are more sensitive to pH

than the free fatty acids. When tested over a pH range from 4.5 to 6.0, the antifungal activities of both

undecylenic acid and calcium undecylenate are quite pronounced; the minimal inhibitory

concentration of calcium undecylenate against Candida albicans is 200 ppm at pH 6.0. However, above

pH 6.0, the calcium salt is less active than the free acid, perhaps due to the suppression of ionization

of the salt at higher pH levels.

Mechanism of Action

At least one of the mechanisms underlying in its anti-fungal effect is its inhibition of morphogenesis

of Candida albicans. In a study on denture liners, undecylenic acid in the liners was found to inhibit

conversion of yeast to the hyphal form. Hyphae were associated with an active infection. The authors

speculated on possible mechanisms including interference with fatty acid biosynthesis, which can

inhibit germ tube (hyphae) formation. Medium-chain fatty acids have also been shown to disrupt the

pH of the cell cytoplasm by being proton carriers.


17

Undecylenic Acid for Specific Clinical Applications

Vaginal/Gastrointestinal Candidiasis - Undecylenic acid has been shown to be effective in preventing

fungal overgrowth associated with vaginal and gastrointestinal candidiasis via its fungicidal activity.

Thrush - Since undecylenic acid acts systemically, oral administration can inhibit or even prevent oral

candidiasis, or thrush.

Dermatomycoses- Undecylenic acid is the active ingredient in Desinex cream and a number of other

over-the-counter antifungals. It acts as an anti-fungal agent against organisms such as Candida

albicans, Trichophyton species, Epidermophyton inguinale, and Microsporum audouini.

Herpes Simplex Infection - Undecylenic acid has been shown to have antibacterial and antiviral

properties in vitro and is effective topically against the herpes simplex virus in both animals and

humans.

Denture Stomatitis - Candida albicans is a major cause of denture stomatitis, an inflammation of the

tissues underlying dentures. The organism exists in two cellular morphologies -- the round yeast form

found in asymptomatic carrier states and the branching hyphal form found in active infections.

Resilient liners are frequently used to treat denture stomatitis, and it has been demonstrated that

liners containing undecylenic acid completely inhibited the conversion of the yeast form of Candida

albicans to the hyphal form, thereby inhibiting proliferation of the yeast.
