Valeriansaeure-2-decanester, also known as valproic acid 2-decanester or 2-decyl valproate, is a chemical compound derived from valproic acid, a short-chain fatty acid. It is an ester formed by the reaction of valproic acid with decanol, resulting in a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a molecular formula of C14H26O2. Valeriansaeure-2-decanester is used as a prodrug, which means it is designed to be metabolized in the body to release the active drug, valproic acid. Valproic acid is primarily used as an anticonvulsant and mood-stabilizing medication, treating conditions such as epilepsy, bipolar disorder, and migraines. The ester form, Valeriansaeure-2-decanester, is believed to have improved pharmacokinetic properties, potentially enhancing the drug's absorption and distribution in the body.
The CAS Registry Mumber 55193-10-7 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 5,5,1,9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 55193-10: (7*5)+(6*5)+(5*1)+(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*1)+(1*0)=117 117 % 10 = 7 So 55193-10-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
