I-Azelaic acid, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-nonanedioic acid, iyi-dicarboxylic acid egcwele ene-molecular formula C9H16O4.Ibonakala njengempushana emhlophe, engenaphunga, iyenza incibilike kalula kuzincibilikisi ezivamile ezifana ne-ethanol ne-acetone.Ngaphezu kwalokho, inesisindo samangqamuzana esingu-188.22 g/mol.
I-Azelaic acid isithole ukuthandwa okukhulu ngenxa yohlu lwayo oluhlukahlukene lwezinhlelo zokusebenza emikhakheni ehlukene.Embonini ye-skincare, ikhombisa izakhiwo ezinamandla ze-antimicrobial kanye ne-anti-inflammatory, okuyenza ibe isithako esifanelekile sokwelapha izimo zesikhumba ezahlukahlukene, okubandakanya izinduna, i-rosacea, kanye ne-hyperpigmentation.Isiza ukuvala izimbotshana, inciphise ukuvuvukala, futhi ilawule ukukhiqizwa kukawoyela ngokweqile, okuholela esikhumbeni esicacile nesibukeka sinempilo.
Ukwengeza, i-azelaic acid ibonise isithembiso emkhakheni wezolimo njenge-bio-stimulant.Ikhono layo lokuthuthukisa ukukhula kwezimpande, i-photosynthesis, kanye nokumuncwa kwezakhi ezitshalweni kuyenza ibe yisinqumo esihle kakhulu sokuthuthukisa isivuno sezitshalo kanye nekhwalithi iyonke.Ingasetshenziswa futhi njengesicindezeli esinamandla sezifo ezithile zezitshalo, ivikele izitshalo ngempumelelo ezifweni.
