Metabolite Identification
Common NameAzelaic acid
DescriptionAzelaic acid, also known as 1,9-nonanedioate or azelex, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as medium-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 4 and 12 carbon atoms. Azelaic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Azelaic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
