(E, Z) -2-propyl-2-Pentenoic Acid

(E, Z) -2-propyl-2-pentenoic acid is a bioactive valproic acid metabolite. It demonstrates equivalent anticonvulsant efficacy in animal seizure models but lacks the teratogenic and hepatotoxic liabilities associated with the parent drug. This makes it a valuable research tool for investigating safer neuropharmacological mechanisms.
