Product Description
Baldrinal, an extract derived from the rhizome and roots of Valerian, inhibits autonomic activity and has anti-inflammatory effects.
Baldrinal (valeral) (CAS 18234-46-3) is a naturally occurring iridoid compound found in Valeriana species (valerian), a plant used in traditional medicine for its sedative and anxiolytic properties. It has the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₀O₄ and a molecular weight of approximately 194.18 g/mol. Baldrinal is one of the valepotriates, a class of iridoid esters found in valerian root. Valepotriates are known for their sedative, anxiolytic, and spasmolytic activities. The compound is used as a reference standard for the identification and quantification of valepotriates in valerian extracts and for research purposes.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
GABA receptors; sedative and anxiolytic targets. Baldrinal, as a valepotriate from Valeriana species, may contribute to the sedative and anxiolytic effects of valerian. Valepotriates are believed to interact with GABA receptors or other targets involved in anxiety and sleep regulation. The compound's mechanism may involve modulation of GABAergic neurotransmission or other sedative pathways. However, the exact mechanism of action of baldrial and other valepotriates is not fully characterized.
ln Vitro
Baldrinal exhibits sedative and anxiolytic activities characteristic of valepotriates from Valeriana species. The compound may modulate GABAergic neurotransmission or interact with other targets involved in anxiety and sleep regulation. Its specific in vitro activities depend on the concentrations tested and the assay systems used. Further studies are needed to fully characterize its activity profile.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies of baldrial are limited. As a valepotriate from valerian, it may contribute to the sedative and anxiolytic effects of valerian extracts, which have been used in traditional medicine for insomnia and anxiety. The compound may be evaluated in animal models of anxiety and sleep. Further studies are needed to characterize its specific in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.
Enzyme Assay
Non-cell-based assays for baldrial include receptor binding assays using GABA receptors or other targets. Standard analytical methods including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry are used for compound characterization and purity assessment. The compound's physicochemical properties such as solubility and stability are determined using standard protocols.
Cell Assay
Cell-based assays for baldrial use various cell lines to assess its biological activities. GABA receptor modulation can be assessed using cells expressing GABA receptors and measuring chloride flux or membrane potential changes. For sedative activity, neuronal cell lines can be used to study effects on neuronal excitability. Cytotoxicity is assessed using standard cell viability assays.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies of baldrial are limited. Based on its sedative and anxiolytic activities, potential animal models include: elevated plus maze, open field test, and light-dark box for anxiety evaluation; and pentobarbital-induced sleep test for sedative evaluation. Standard protocols for these models involve administration of the compound followed by behavioral assessment.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Baldrinal has a molecular formula of C₁₀H₁₀O₄ and a molecular weight of approximately 194.18 g/mol. The CAS number is 18234-46-3. It is a naturally occurring iridoid compound found in Valeriana species (valerian). Valepotriates are a class of iridoid esters found in valerian root known for their sedative and anxiolytic activities. The compound should be stored under recommended conditions. It is intended for research use only.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Specific toxicity data for baldrial are limited. As a natural valepotriate, it is generally considered to have low toxicity at therapeutic doses. Valerian extracts are generally recognized as safe for short-term use. Standard laboratory safety practices should be followed when handling this compound, including the use of personal protective equipment. It is intended for research use only.

Solubility Data
Solubility (In Vitro)
DMSO: 16.67 mg/mL (76.39 mM)
Solubility (In Vivo)
Solubility in Formulation 1: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (7.65 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 + 45% Saline (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 16.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 400 μL PEG300 and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 to the above solution and mix evenly; then add 450 μL normal saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH₂ O to obtain a clear solution.

Solubility in Formulation 2: ≥ 1.67 mg/mL (7.65 mM) (saturation unknown) in 10% DMSO + 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline) (add these co-solvents sequentially from left to right, and one by one), clear solution.
For example, if 1 mL of working solution is to be prepared, you can add 100 μL of 16.7 mg/mL clear DMSO stock solution to 900 μL of 20% SBE-β-CD physiological saline solution and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C,1 week): Dissolve 2 g SBE-β-CD in 10 mL saline to obtain a clear solution.

 (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.)

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
