Bioactivity | 2-Hexyl-4-pentynoic acid ((±)-2-Hexyl-4-pentynoic acid), valproic acid (VPA) derivative, exhibits potential roles of HDAC inhibition (IC50=13 µM) and HSP70 induction. Potent neuroprotective effects. 2-Hexyl-4-pentynoic acid causes histone hyperacetylation and protect against glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in cultured neurons[1]. |
