Trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid, or (7E,9E,11E)-trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid, is an polyunsaturated fatty acid. It is present in Aethusa cynapium . [1] [2] [3]
Trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid has been shown to have an antianxiety effect in Mus musculus , Rattus norvegicus , and Homo sapiens . It reduces hypolocomotion caused by anxiety, which was psychopharmacologically induced with mCPP, in Mus musculus and Rattus norvegicus. A 2 mg/kg dose of diazepam has a very similar effect to 20 mg/kg of trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid. This may suggest that trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid is also a GABA agonist like diazepam. [1] [4] [5] [6]
Trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid can be extracted from dried aerial parts of A. cynapium with methanol, followed by chloroform, followed by column chromatography with DCM and methanol (40:60), followed by flash chromatography with DCM and methanol (92.5:7.5), followed by preparative TLC. [1]
In addition to its potential as an anxiolytic, trideca-7,9,11-trienoic acid has also been studied for use in inks and protective coatings. [1] [7]
