PHARMACEUTICALS, CAPRIC ACID:
Caprate ester prodrugs of various pharmaceuticals are available.
Since capric acid is a fatty acid, forming a salt or ester with a drug will increase its lipophilicity and its affinity for adipose tissue.
Since distribution of a drug from fatty tissue is usually slow, one may develop a long-acting injectable form of a drug (called a depot injection) by using its caprate form.

Some examples of drugs available as a caprate ester include nandrolone (as nandrolone decanoate), fluphenazine (as fluphenazine decanoate), bromperidol (as bromperidol decanoate), and haloperidol (as haloperidol decanoate).

Two other acids are named after goats: caproic acid (a C6:0 fatty acid) and caprylic acid (a C8:0 fatty acid).
Along with capric acid, these total 15% in goat milk fat.

PRODUCTION OF CAPRIC ACID:
Capric acid can be prepared from oxidation of the primary alcohol decanol by using chromium trioxide (CrO₃) oxidant under acidic conditions.
