Sodium caprate
Sodium caprate (sodium decanoate) is the sodium salt of a ten-carbon saturated fatty acid. Its amphiphilic nature enables it to form micelles and liquid crystalline phases in water, facilitating its use as a permeation enhancer in drug delivery research for both in vitro and in vivo applications.
