Dodecanedioic acid informally referred to as DDDA is a dicarboxylic acid mainly used in antiseptics, top-grade coatings, painting materials, corrosion inhibitor, surfactant, and engineering plastics such as nylon 612. Experimental work with Dodecanedioic acid in type 2 diabetic patients has demonstrated that IV infusion helps to maintain normal blood sugar and energy levels without increasing the blood glucose load in the process.
