| Abstract: | Significance of Fatty Acids in Their Fungistatic Action The fungistatic action of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, halogenated fatty acids and esters as well as sulfurcontaining derivatives is reviewed. Fungistatic agents, known since a long time, are propionic acid, caprylic acid and its salts as well as undecylenic acid and its salts. The recently known fatty acid derivatives having fungistatic action are morpholine and piperidine compounds of long chain fatty acids and the new class of aminimides of fatty acids with 14–16 C atoms. |
