Zinc undecylenate is a compound that functions as an antifungal agent in experimental applications. Its mechanism of action involves disrupting the cell membrane of fungi, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately cell death. Zinc Undecylenate interferes with the normal function of the fungal cell membrane, causing instability and compromising the integrity of the membrane. As a result, the fungi are unable to maintain their cellular structure and function, leading to their eventual demise. This disruption of the cell membrane is a key aspect of zinc undecylenate′s antifungal activity, which may be useful for studying fungal cell biology and developing potential antifungal strategies.
