(Rac) -Acetoxyvalerenic acid
(Rac) -Acetoxyvalerenic acid is a derivative of valerenic acid that acts as a GABA (A) receptor modulator, potentially providing sedative and sleep-enhancing effects. (Rac) -Acetoxyvalerenic acid exhibits slower permeability across the blood-brain barrier compared to diazepam, indicating that its transport may rely on an unidentified pathway rather than transcellular passive diffusion.
