VALERENIC ACID Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Valerenic Acid, acts as a subtype-selective GABAA receptor agonist in neonatal rat brainstem preparations. It can be used for the synthesis of Valerena-4,7(11)-diene, a highly active sedative.

Definition

ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is 2-methylprop-2-enoic acid which is substituted at position 3 by a 3,7-dimethyl-2,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-4-yl group. A bicyclic sesquiterpenoid constituent of the essential oil of the Valerian plant.

Biological Activity

Positive allosteric modulator of GABA A receptors that displays preference for receptors containing β 2 or β 3 subunits. Directly activates the receptor and also blocks the channel at high concentrations. Displays a sedative and anxiolytic activity in vivo . Also acts as a partial? agonist of 5-HT 5A receptors.
