| Application: | • Enhancement of antibiotic properties: Capric acid and geranic acid were used to improve the pharmaceutical properties and antibacterial activity of levofloxacin (Alkhawaja et al., 2023   ).• Aryl hydrocarbon receptor modulation: Research on natural deep eutectic solvents including fatty acids like geranic acid has demonstrated their capability to modulate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor independently of traditional ligands, suggesting potential in metabolic regulation and therapeutic applications (Denis et al., 2023 ).• Transdermal delivery systems: A study on ionic liquids composed of geranic acid for obesity treatment highlighted their use in transdermal drug delivery systems, presenting a non-invasive alternative for therapeutic management (Lu et al., 2023 ).• Antimicrobial and antielastase properties: Geranic acid has been shown to inhibit elastase activity and bacterial growth, offering potential applications in oral health products and treatments for conditions involving pathogenic bacteria and inflammation (Laird et al., 2023 ). |
| General description: | Geranic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is used as a bio-friendly cross-linker in the fabrication of a molecularly imprinted polymer. Geranic acid belongs to the terpenoid family. It exists as two stereoisomers with trans and cis geometry across the conjugated double bond. |
