Valerian Extract Valeric Acid

What is Valerian extract Valeric acid?

Valerian extract Valeric acid is extracted from the perennial flowering plant Valerian and has long been used in traditional therapy to treat sleep disorders, especially insomnia, anxiety and psychological stress.

Valerian is a plant native to Europe that has long been regarded as a natural health herb. Its root extract is particularly popular, and in addition to its aesthetic value, valerian was commonly used as a multi-purpose health remedy throughout ancient Rome and Greece, even before Hippocrates described its therapeutic uses. Valerian has a wide range of effects on the human body and is often considered a reliable nootropic. Its nickname, "the all-round cure," highlights its versatility in improving disease. It can grow up to four feet tall and has trumpet-shaped flowers. Its roots can be used as medicine. Although the fresh roots are relatively odorless, the dried roots have a strong odor that many people find unpleasant. Valerian extracts have been used as perfumes and mild, relaxing sedatives for hundreds of years.

Production method:

It can be produced by a variety of methods, one of which is obtained by oxidation of n-pentanol. Another method is to react butyl bromine with sodium cyanide to obtain butyronitrile, and then saponify it. These methods have their own characteristics and are suitable for different industrial needs.

Pharmacological effects:
1. Sedative and hypnotic: It can inhibit the central nervous system and increase the influx of chloride ions mediated by V-aminobutyric acid A receptors, thereby exerting the effect of sedation and hypnosis, and has a therapeutic effect on symptoms such as insomnia and dreaminess. It promotes the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from the cerebral cortex. This neurotransmitter has the effect of calming the mind and improving anxiety, thereby achieving the effect of promoting good sleep. It has a good improvement effect on some insomnia symptoms that are difficult to fall asleep or have shallow sleep. Compared with general sleeping pills, it is less likely to have the side effect of grogginess after waking up. It is suitable for taking when insomnia is caused by mild anxiety and mental stress. It is better to take it about 1 hour before going to bed.

It can produce a sedative effect by increasing the level of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. When the amount is large enough, it has a sedative effect and calms nerve activity.
In vitro research results show that it may cause GABA to be released from brain nerve endings and then prevent GABA from being brought back to nerve cells. It can inhibit the enzyme that destroys GABA, which is another way that valerian can increase GABA levels and promote nighttime rest.
2. Anti-anxiety and anti-depression: It can promote the synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine in the brain. These two substances play an important role in mood regulation, so it has anti-anxiety and anti-depression effects.
3. Anticonvulsant: It is achieved by stabilizing the cell membrane and preventing the occurrence of abnormal discharges. After testing, it can strengthen the inhibition process of the cerebral cortex, reduce reflex excitability, and relieve smooth muscle spasms. Therefore, it has antispasmodic and analgesic effects and can be used to treat hysteria, back pain, stomach and abdominal distension and pain.
4. Enhance memory: It is achieved by promoting synaptic growth and functional recovery;
5. Relieve pain: It is achieved through its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
6. Lubricating the intestines and laxatives: It can be used to treat gastrointestinal pain and irritable bowel syndrome.

Application areas:

1. Spice industry
Valeric acid is widely used in the spice industry. It is mainly used to prepare various flavors, such as cream, cheese, butterscotch, strawberry and rum flavors.
2. Medical field
It also has important applications in the medical field. For example, it can be used as a raw material for the estrogen drug estradiol valerate. In addition, it also has the effect of calming the nerves and is used to improve insomnia, calming the nerves and improving depression. Compared with sleeping pills, its advantage is that it will not paralyze the nerves and will not inhibit the excitability of the nerves.
3. Chemical synthesis
It is also used as a raw material for chemical synthesis. For example, amino polyethylene glycol valeric acid (NH2-PEG-Valeric Acids) is a chemical substance with a wide range of application value. It is mainly used in the fields of synthetic drugs, preparation of polymer materials and functional materials. In addition, this compound can also be used to prepare nanomedicines and drug carriers, which can better control the release and distribution of drugs, thereby improving the efficacy of drugs.
4. Other applications
In addition to the above-mentioned application fields, it is also used to prepare other chemical substances, such as polymers and surfactants. The synthesis and application of these substances will also bring more convenience and improvement to our lives.
In summary, as an important organic compound, its application fields cover many aspects such as fragrances, medicines, and chemical synthesis, showing its wide practical value.
