Description

(±)-2-propyl-4-Pentenoic acid (4-ene VPA) is a major metabolite of valproic acid . It undergoes β-oxidation to form reactive metabolites that induce hepatotoxicity in rats. 4-ene VPA is also neuroteratogenic, reducing forebrain size and inducing deformation of the neural tube in mouse embryos.

Chemical Properties

Clear Colorless Oil

Uses

A metabolite of Valproic Acid

Definition

ChEBI: 2-n-Propyl-4-pentenoic acid is a methyl-branched fatty acid.
