Decanoic acid is a type of
carboxylic acid.
Its formula is CH
3(CH
2)
8COOH. It is also known as capric acid. Salts and
esters of decanoic acid are called
decanoates.
It is used in organic synthesis and industrially in the manufacture of perfumes, lubricants, greases, rubber, dyes, plastics, food additives and pharmaceuticals.
Pharmaceuticals
Decanoate salts and esters of various drugs are available. Since decanoic acid is a fatty acid, forming a salt or ester with a drug will increase its
lipophilicity and its affinity for
fatty tissue. Since
distribution of a drug from fatty tissue is usually slow, one may develop a long-acting injectable form of a drug (called a
Depot injection) by using its decanoate form. Some examples of drugs available as a decanoate ester or salt include
nandrolone,
fluphenazine,
bromperidol,
haloperidol and
vanoxerine.
