Abstract

Fatty hydroxamic acids are chemical derivatives formed through the modification of the carboxyl group of fatty acids into a hydroxamate group, imparting unique and functional properties. The key chemical properties of these compounds include the ability to form strong complexes with metal ions, act as antioxidants, and possess high thermal and chemical stability. These combined properties make hydroxamate fatty acids relevant for various applications in the field of biotechnology. In waste treatment, these compounds serve as chelating agents to selectively bind heavy metals. In the pharmaceutical and food industries, hydroxamate fatty acids show potential as antimicrobial agents and natural preservatives. Furthermore, these compounds are used in enzymatic engineering to enhance the efficiency of biocatalytic reactions. Recent research also explores their use in microbial metabolic engineering to produce bioactive compounds with high added value. This article provides an in-depth review of the chemical properties, mechanisms of action, and diverse innovative applications of hydroxamate fatty acids, as well as discusses the technical challenges and opportunities for further development in the modern biotechnology era.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the application of hydroxamic fatty acids in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, with a focus on their biological activities, product formulations, and compound stability in practical applications. Biological activity assays demonstrated that hydroxamic fatty acids exhibit significant antimicrobial effects against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as effective anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, anticancer tests on human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) showed that these compounds can inhibit cancer cell proliferation. In terms of product formulation, hydroxamic fatty acids were found to be stable in cosmetic products (facial serums and hair masks) and pharmaceutical products (topical ointments), with results indicating improvements in skin elasticity and hair quality, along with a reduction in inflammation symptoms in patients. However, a major challenge in the application of hydroxamic fatty acids lies in their complex synthesis process, which requires hazardous chemicals, thereby increasing production costs and impacting environmental sustainability. Therefore, further research is needed to develop more efficient and environmentally friendly synthesis methods. Overall, the findings of this study suggest that hydroxamic fatty acids hold significant potential for development as effective and safe active ingredients in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.
