Directly activates the receptor and also blocks the channel at high concentrations. Displays an anxiolytic and sedative activity in vivo1-3. Also acts as a partial agonist of 5-HT5A receptors4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlternative names:\u003c\/strong\u003e (-)-Valerenic Acid, (2E)-3-[(4S,7R,7aR)-3,7-dimethyl-2,4,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-4-yl]-2-methylacrylic acid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScientific background\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eValerenic acid was first isolated in 1957 from the rhizome and roots of valerian (Valeriana offi-cinalis). Valerian is one of the oldest medicinal herbs in folk medicine and has been used for various afflictions like insomnia, anxiety, and pain. Valerenic acid was found to be pharmacologically active monoterpene acting through binding to the GABAA receptor1.Valerenic acid acts as an anti-inflammatory agent by inhibiting the transcription of NF-κB, one essential transcription factor controlling the expression of numerous inflammation-related genes. In addition, evidence suggests that Valerenic acid acts as an agonist for 5-HT receptors (serotonin receptors), which are G-coupled receptors that mediates neuronal activity via regulating cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels2.In-vivo studies that conducted on xenograft glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) mice models shown that Valerenic acid induce cell death of GBM cells by inducing AMPK activation. Therefore, Valerenic acid may serve as a potential anti-tumor agent towards GBM patients3.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLead time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-2 Business Days\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Israel\/IL\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eApplications key\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eApplication key: FC- Flow cytometry, IFC- Indirect flow cytometry, IHC- Immunohistochemistry,LCI- Live cell imaging, Calcium imaging assay,Cell survival assay, Electrophysiology, Neurite outgrowth assay.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBioassay tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alomone Labs","offers":[{"title":"1 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53249715470701,"sku":"V-140-1MG-1","price":81.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311580242285,"sku":"V-140-10MG-1","price":508.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311580275053,"sku":"V-140-25MG-1","price":894.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 mg \/ 1","offer_id":53311580307821,"sku":"V-140-5MG-1","price":318.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/1.-V-140-Valerenic-acid-on-GABAA-a1b2-in-oocytes-potentiation-by-10uM.jpg?v=1778544457","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/valerenic-acid-bhb21300370","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
