Content by Source

Concentrations not reported. No percent-dry-weight or mg/g figures have been published for this compound in its source plants.

Research & Evidence

Undeca-2E-ene-8,10-diynoic acid isobutylamide is one of the minor N-isobutyl fatty-acid amides (alkylamides) of Acmella oleracea, accompanying spilanthol, the plant’s abundant marker compound. The alkylamide class is responsible for the tingling, saliva-inducing pungency the plant is known for; this member has little pharmacology of its own on record.
