Hydroxycapric Acid is a 10-carbon, omega-hydroxy fatty acid, shown to be the preferred hydroxylation product (together with the 9-OH isomer) of capric acid in biosystems, and used as a standard in lipid assays; reported to have cytotoxic effects.
10-Hydroxydecanic acid is a specialized saturated fatty acid that is a minor constituent of royal jelly.[1] It was scientifically discovered in 1957.

Hydroxycapric Acid and 10-hydroxydecanoic acid have been shown to act as potent agonists of the human TRPA1 and TRPV1 receptors.Hydroxycapric Acid has stimulated neuron differentiation from rat embryo neural stem cells, possibly acting like the omega-3 docosahexaenoicacid, an essential diet component that is known to promote neurogenesis in the central nervous system.
