A series of some 3-13 monohydroxy eicosanoic acid isomers were evaluated for their antielastase, antiurease and antioxidant activities for the first time in this study. All the test compounds exhibited antielastase, antiurease and antioxidant activities. According to the obtained results the hydroxy eicosanoic acid isomers locating in the middle and close to the middle of the chain showed higher antielastase, antiurease and antioxidant activities rather than that of the other isomers. Therefore, 3-13 monohydroxy eicosanoic acid isomers can be used in agriculture, pharmacy and cosmetic industries due to their excellent antielastase, antiurease and antioxidant activities
