Application

  • Valerenic acid in stress management: Research in Plant Physiology and Biochemistry examined the physiological and biochemical regulation of Valeriana jatamansi, a source of Valerenic acid, under water stress. This study provides insights into the adaptive mechanisms of valerenic acid-producing plants, supporting its potential use in natural stress relief applications (Thakur et al., 2024).
  • Valerenic acid in optimization of extraction methods: A study published in Preparative Biochemistry & Biotechnology focused on optimizing the extraction yield of bioactive compounds from Valeriana officinalis roots using a D-optimal design. This research highlights efficient methods to maximize the yield of valerenic acid, enhancing its availability for use in sleep aids and anxiety relief (Mokhtari et al., 2024).
  • Valerenic acid in cardiac health: A publication in Journal of Advanced Research detailed how valerenic acid attenuates pathological myocardial hypertrophy by promoting the utilization of multiple substrates in mitochondrial energy metabolism. This suggests potential therapeutic applications of valerenic acid in managing heart health (Liu et al., 2024).
