Used in the synthesis of bioactive compounds and lipid derivatives, 7-Hydroxy Myristic Acid plays a role in the development of surfactants and emulsifiers for cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. Its hydroxylated fatty acid structure makes it suitable for modifying drug delivery systems, enhancing solubility and membrane permeability of active ingredients. It is also investigated for its potential involvement in metabolic studies related to fatty acid oxidation and signaling pathways.
