Undecanoic acid (Undecanoate) is a monocarboxylic acid with antifungal properties. It inhibits the production of exocellular keratinase, lipase, and the biosynthesis of several phospholipids in T. rubrum. This acid exhibits strong antifungal activity by disrupting crucial fungal mechanisms, including cell wall synthesis, membrane assembly, mRNA synthesis, lipid metabolism, and pathogenesis.
