Valerate

A valerate compound is a salt or ester of valeric acid. It is also known as pentanoate. The valerate anion is C4H9COO (valeric acid minus one hydrogen ion H+).

Many steroid-based pharmaceuticals, for example ones based on betamethasone or hydrocortisone, include the steroid as the valerate ester. Betamethasone valerate has shown potential to treat vitiligo.[1]

Examples

gollark: Sure. Generally python files have .py extensions but you don't *need* that, probably.
gollark: Not *literally* `path/to/file`, just do `python3 [the path to the file to run]`.
gollark: You should probably be saving it as a plain text file.
gollark: `python3 path/to/file` from a terminal.
gollark: With whatever text editor you want?
