Compound Monograph
N-Isobutylamide of 2E,4E,8Z-decatrienoic Acid
One of the triene alkylamides of Echinacea. Little is established about this 2E,4E,8Z isomer on its own — the family is studied as a group, for its tingling sensory effect.

Research & Evidence
This is an N-isobutyl alkylamide of a decatrienoic acid, a member of the alkylamide family characteristic of Echinacea. These constituents are studied as a group for their tingling sensory effect and proposed immune-modulating activity. Little is established about this particular isomer beyond its occurrence in the plant.
