capsaicin has reported antimicrobial properties, however isocapric acid can act as a growth substrate in certain bacterial strains. addition of 5 mm of 8-methyl nonanoic acid significantly increases the yield of capsaicin in both immobilized and freely suspended cells of c. frutescens.

Isocapric acid is supplied as a neat oil. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the isocapric acid in an organic solvent purged with an inert gas. Isocapric acid is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, DMSO, and dimethyl formamide. The solubility of isocapric acid in these solvents is approximately 10 mg/ml. Further dilutions of the stock solution into aqueous buffers or isotonic saline should be made prior to performing biological experiments. Ensure that the residual amount of organic solvent is insignificant, since organic solvents may have physiological effects at low concentrations. Organic solvent-free aqueous solutions of 8-methyl nonanoic acid can be prepared by directly dissolving the neat oil in aqueous buffers. The solubility of 8-methyl nonanoic acid in PBS, pH 7.2, is approximately 0.1 mg/ml. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day.
