Explanation Dodecanedioic acid informally referred to as DDDA is a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid mainly used in antiseptics, top-grade coatings, painting materials, corrosion inhibitor, surfactant, and plastics. Experimental work with Dodecanedioic acid in type 2 diabetic patients has demonstrated that IV infusion helps to maintain normal blood sugar and energy levels without increasing the blood glucose load in the process.

Appearance Solid
BiologicalActivity Dodecanedioic acid is an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid that is dodecane in which the methyl groups have been oxidised to the corresponding carboxylic acids. It has a role as an EC 1.1.1.1 (alcohol dehydrogenase) inhibitor and a human metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a dodecanedioate(2-). It derives from a hydride of a dodecane.
