9-Aminononanoic acid, also known as nonan-9-amine-1-carboxylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its long carbon chain structure, which consists of nine carbon atoms with an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) attached. This compound is classified as an amino acid, specifically a non-proteinogenic amino acid, due to the presence of both functional groups. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its state at room temperature. The presence of the amino and carboxylic acid groups allows it to participate in various chemical reactions, including amide formation and esterification. 9-Aminononanoic acid is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. Its unique structure makes it of interest in various fields, including biochemistry and materials science, where it may be utilized in the synthesis of surfactants, polymers, and other specialty chemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

9-Aminononanoic acid is a fatty acid that is found in the body and can be synthesized from other amino acids. It has been shown to have antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. 9-Aminononanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of S. aureus strains, herpes simplex virus (HSV), and Staphylococcus epidermidis. It also inhibits the production of polylactic acid (PLA) by Streptomyces lividans. The bacteriostatic effect of aminononanoic acid may be due to its ability to conjugate with chloride ions, preventing their uptake by bacteria. Aminononanoic acid is synthesized from 9-aminoundecanoic acid by ammonolysis or amide formation with fatty esters such as oleic or linoleic acids.
