Undecanoic acid (Undecanoate) is a monocarboxylic acid that possesses antifungal properties. It functions by inhibiting the production of exocellular keratinase, lipase, and the biosynthesis of various phospholipids in *T. rubrum*. It also demonstrates strong antifungal activity by interfering with critical fungal mechanisms such as cell wall synthesis, membrane assembly, mRNA synthesis, lipid metabolism, and pathogenesis, which can influence gene splicing. As an endogenous metabolite, it shows agonist activity at recombinant human GPR84.
