Subunit-specific modulators of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A (GABA(A)) receptors can help to assess the physiological function of receptors with different subunit composition and also provide the basis for the development of new drugs. Valerenic acid (VA) was recently identified

The roots and rhizomes of various valeriana species are currently used as a sleeping aid or mild sedative. A liquid chromatography method has been developed that permits the analysis of chlorogenic acid, lignans, flavonoids, valerenic acids, and valpotrates in various
The first total synthesis of the sesquiterpenoid valerenic acid, a constituent of Valeriana officinalis, is described. The compound is a potent modulator of the GABA(A) receptor and may thus be useful in the treatment of various dysfunctions of the central
Valerenic acid (VA), a sesquiterpenoid, is one of the major secondary bioactive metabolites of VALERIANA OFFICINALIS L. Until now IN VIVO studies on the absorption, bioavailability, disposition, and metabolism of VA are limited. We established and validated an LC-MS/MS assay
The roots and rhizome of Valeriana officinalis L . s. l. are therapeutically used for their sedative and sleep-enhancing effects. Some of the active compounds found in commonly used extracts are the sesquiterpenic acids, especially valerenic acid, which was recently
