(±)-2-Propyl-4-pentenoic acid（Cat No.:R007497）is a structural analog of valproic acid, known for its activity as a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. It exhibits epigenetic-modulating properties, affecting gene expression by increasing histone acetylation. This compound is studied for its potential anticancer, neuroprotective, and mood-stabilizing effects, and serves as a research tool in developmental biology, neuropharmacology, and oncology. The (±) notation indicates it is a racemic mixture of enantiomers. Its ability to influence chromatin remodeling makes it valuable for exploring gene regulation and epigenetic therapy.
