Descriptions:
pubchem: Decanoic acid is a C10, straight-chain saturated fatty acid. It has a role as a volatile oil component, an antibacterial agent, an anti-inflammatory agent, a plant metabolite, a human metabolite and an algal metabolite. It is a straight-chain saturated fatty acid and a medium-chain fatty acid. It is a conjugate acid of a decanoate. It derives from a hydride of a decane.
chebi: A C<small><sub>10</sub></small>, straight-chain saturated fatty acid.
chembl: DECANOIC ACID is a small molecule listed in the ChEMBL database but has not progressed to an approved clinical phase.
wikipedia: Capric acid, also known as decanoic acid or decylic acid, is a saturated fatty acid, medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA), and carboxylic acid. Its formula is CH3(CH2)8COOH. Salts and esters of decanoic acid are called caprates or decanoates.  The term capric acid is derived from the Latin "caper / capra" (goat) because the sweaty, unpleasant smell of the compound is reminiscent of goats.
