Undecanamide, also known as undecylenamide, is an organic compound characterized by its long carbon chain structure, consisting of eleven carbon atoms and an amide functional group. Its molecular formula is C11H23NO, indicating the presence of nitrogen in addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature, and has a characteristic amide odor. Undecanamide is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic carbon chain. It is primarily used in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and as a lubricant in various industrial applications. Additionally, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The substance is known for its relatively low toxicity, but like many amides, it should be handled with care to avoid skin and eye irritation. Overall, undecanamide's unique properties make it valuable in both chemical synthesis and industrial applications.

Undecanamide

Undecanamide is a hydroxyl group containing amide that binds to the receptor site of the hydroxyl group-containing enzyme. It is used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, cancer, and infectious diseases. Undecanamide inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the prostaglandin synthase enzyme. This drug also has an inhibitory effect on growth factor activity, which may be due to its ability to decrease serum bile acids and reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentrations. Although undecanamide is not very reactive chemically, it can cause irritation when applied topically or through inhalation.
