Chlorovaltrate K is a phytochemical compound derived from the roots of Valeriana officinalis, a plant known for its medicinal properties. This compound is specifically an iridoid valepotriate, which is extracted primarily from valerian roots. The mode of action of Chlorovaltrate K involves the modulation of the central nervous system, where it exerts a sedative and anxiolytic effect. This is believed to be mediated through interactions with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors, although the precise molecular pathways remain an area of active research. Chlorovaltrate K is extensively studied for its applications in alleviating anxiety, stress, and sleep disorders. Due to its potential benefits in modulating CNS activity, it is often explored in the context of therapeutic agents aiming to produce calming effects without the side effects typically associated with synthetic pharmaceuticals. In addition, research continues to investigate its broader implications in neural chemistry and potential complementary uses in treating various neuropsychological conditions.

Chlorovaltrate K has IC50 of 0.89-9.76 µM vs. A549, PC-3M, HCT-8, Bel 7402 cancers.
