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]
